smetrov Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 So its almost official - Howard Hodgson and Hairy Hands have both said that Lerner is prepared to sell Aston Villa - but Hodgson reckons only if Lerner recoups all his outlay - some £250m. At least its in black and white that we are up for sale - though what state the club will be in when it changes hands sends a shiver down my spine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Let's hope. What thread can I find this in, it's news to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloBarnesi Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I don’t understand; its official because two people who as far as I know not connected to the club say so? Its been known for a long time unofficially that Randy would sell, so I am not sure whats new? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Surprised this hasn't got more of a reaction. I guess the team and Lambert are easier to focus on. This pretty much confirms what a few have thought for a few years no. IMO watching us struggle for this long just so he doesn't lose out makes him undefendable for me.

Isa Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 (edited) £250m?! We're stuck with him then. Nobody in their right minds will pay anything like that. Edited December 27, 2013 by Isa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and not a very good one. He's also a liar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Were we even worth £250m when we were getting 6th for 3 seasons straight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Almost official. Like being nearly dead. It's isn't even close to official. 2 people have said something (allegedly, haven't even seen the evidence of that) and we don't know if these 2 people are connected to the club. It's no less a rumour than Defoe still sitting in that long-term-stays-welcome hotel in Brum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_John_10 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 He buys the club for around £40 million and we've just had our two worst ever premiership seasons. How could anyone justify the club being worth anywhere near the amount of £250 million? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I dare say all PL clubs have shot up in value in recent years due to massive TV deals etc. Considering we are a firmly established team inn a large metropolitan area, I wouldn't be surprised if we sold for quite a bit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 We don't know who Hairy Hands is so its difficult to gauge how 'in the know' he may or may not be. Given what I know of HH, both senior and junior, I would be utterly astounded if either had any inside knowledge of any sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
