I think he said it in one of those first couple of interviews.
-
It was someone else, who was doing it as more of a statement (well that's how it appeared). Of course money comes into it. If you think you aren't going to enjoy watching the football Villa would play then £500 is a lot to put down if you're not sure, which is fair enough. Personally I'd never like to presume someone is going to fail, even if they aren't on my list of favoured candidates. As I said I'll always have hope till it's obvious it's not going to happen.

Should have read new replies before sending. The last bit was more general than just aimed at you. I've seen somebody say they aren't getting a season ticket if it's RDM. Which of course is their decision but it just seems a strange one without knowing what it's going to be like. Not getting one because of Lerner makes sense, as would if there was a moral objection to a new manager/owner. I just find it strange that someone would write of any hope because of a certain manager.

Even @Woodytom has had his positive moments regarding the takeover. Every post I've noticed of yours is a moan. I don't think I could enjoy football and certainly not Villa if had no hope. Some times it comes crashing down but the hope always returns. I'm sure I've posted similar earlier but ALL managers fail at some point, some successful ones are only really successful at one club. Whoever it is, The new manager might have that right man, right time, right club moment. Opinions are fine but some things are just over the top.
-
Could this not just be the money in a holding account for the club? Rather than any other fund.
-
I don't know why it's in my head, but I think I read Villa had been in communication with The FA through the process in advance of the takeover announcement, making sure everything was being done correctly.
-
It's been a bad start but providing he comes through the checks and turns out to be good, then this could actually better than any publicity stunt they could have thought of. It's drawn a lot of attention.
-
Well that works, there is no way Samuelson is doing that.
-
He's The Telegraphs Beiijing reporter, he lives there. I think he may be Villa fan also.

And I think 20 will just be Adama's shirt.
-
I posted similar a couple of days ago, the only good outcome is, this takeover goes ahead and we're not getting screwed over.
-
Yes it's definitely been mentioned that the premier league are doing their checks but The Football league won't start till we are officially part of them. Which just seems like some pathetic bureaucracy. Hopefully it is under way and will be announced when we are officially in the Championship. I suppose at least this way it gives them time to do what they do without any timescale pressure.
-
Forgetting about his history with other football clubs for a second. What worries me a little, If you go by past rumours, he's potentially been part of 2 previous failed attempts to buy Villa already and now at the third attempt he's managed it (well currently involved rather than owns). Has he struck lucky finding someone with strong backing to work with or has he tried to go a different elaborate route to his previous attempts of getting hold of the club? Of course the other rumours might not be true or he might not have been involved but there's some mighty coincidences.

The RJW63 Official Jack Grealish Appreciation Thread
AlwaysAVFC replied to kevangrealish's topic in Other Football
4-1 half time Grealish just got a 2nd -
Have you read this thread? Good luck with finding a candidate that unites the fans
-
They've been mentioned but it's only just clicked. 'The Pheonix group' hedgefund that Samuelson was fronting to try and get Reading and then Bristol Rovers. They were also linked to us last year as well weren't they?
-
The Sun reckon Samuelson is to be executive chairman.
-
Its alright, pretty available here as it's stocked in all good Wetherspoons.
-
I'm still optimistic but It's all been a bit crap at the thought that it might go wrong. I just saw a little lad in Chippenham with a Villa shirt, without a care in the world and a smile on his face. I'm taking a leaf out of his book. Positive thoughts fromnow on until there is a reason not to.
-
In reference to the person you quoted. The only reason to want this to fail should be if it is dodgy not on the assumption it is dodgy. The only likely positive outcome is if it goes ahead and it is all ok. Dodgy we are screwed and if falls through we are screwed as it would be difficult to resurrect another bid in a timely manner.
-
Just listened to the interview I just posted again. Do you think it's just his English or do you think (probably with some consultation) he's going to go with Hollis/Lerner/Little/Bevington's choice?
-
Not sure if this interview has been posted and after the last 24 hours, there could be plenty of factors that effect it but the manager chosen already maybe? http://english.cctv.com/2016/05/21/VIDEYK6efVnOuvv3qKqT715t160521.shtml

I don't think your on your own there. As long as there is money there and the club aren't going to be left badly in debt to someone dodgy then a lot of the details are irrelevant. Its just at present, they are cause for concern and hopefully they are all explained. Although how much we'll actually find out ourselves I'm not sure. At best it's some carelessness and miscommunication, the worst we don't know yet. Everyone's got there fingers crossed that Dr Xia does what he's said he will do.

Any family back home must hate ringing you then, as it would be +44744........
