Risso Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 To be fair to Mendi, he seemed very intent on getting to where the players were staying in Manchester last week, perhaps they gave him a tip or two! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 yes we are up sale two buyers want us, and have spoken with Lerner all day today. Happy Folks My bull shite meter has just exploded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnStortford Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 My mate who works as an auditor for Delloite in London (He's a baggies fan but not really that interested in football) just text me saying 'apparently someone Ronald Pearlman is buying Villa'. Googled the name and I think he must have meant a chap called Ronald Perelman, lives in New York apparently. Haven't a foggiest if this is true or complete crap but he said someone at work told him. Not ITK don't think he knows what he's on about tbh Ron Perlman.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Ive just heard from a reliable source - that it is as we fear been for sale for ages - but no buyer don't shoot the messenger Randy wouldn't come out with his statement if this was the fact.

il_serpente Posted May 13, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted May 13, 2014 Also Lambert's good job with the financial side of things means we're not blowing 20 odd million on wages, which probably helps give him some extra pennies to spend. It's not important though. That article states Lerner is unhappy with how many players that have been bought by Lambert who arnt playing.They might be cheap but if they not playing they still a waste of resource. Just like MON, only at a fraction of the price. A poor man's MON, so to speak. Looks like he learned all "the gaffer's" methods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

il_serpente Posted May 14, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted May 14, 2014 Reading through the last few pages it sounds like the new owner is rumoured to be a Mr C. HUNT All sounds a bit fishy to me. Good job its not Mike Hunt, having said that she couldn't afford it! Then he would have said it smells a bit fishy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One For The Road Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I'm starting to think that Randy's statement was a "come and get me plea". Offering the club in the media as a desperate measure having failed to attract interest by other means. God knows Everton have been up for sale for yonks but Kenwright just can't find investment. Worrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avfc1982am Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I really think that there is nothing to worry about. I honestly think if there wasn't interested parties lerner wouldn't have said cheerio in such a way in his statement, and instead would've held off releasing it until something pretty concrete was happening. The last thing he would want as a seller would be to weaken his hand in such a way by saying "I've just had enough, anyone can have it". My opinion of course, but looking desperate to sell anything doesn't do you any favours. I think it will possibly come out the blue within 6 weeks. Owning big clubs is all the rage and were massive with the right owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 well the more exposure to our sale the better. Maybe some billionaires weren't alerted. Who knows what is going on. Headlines even if lies from the media creating interest will push through a deal with actual interested parties fearing a potential Sheikh coming in for us! Even if he is not.

kasabian21 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Lerner has to invest because if he doesn't and no-one buys us then he'll be left with a club that will probably be playing Championship football the season after...which will be worth sod all.

briny_ear Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Talks with 2 new owners went well today. Their requested that their speak to Lambert on the weekend, when he fly in folks. Noone believes you. Give it up. that your view OK, we've got to start somewhere. That sentence should be "That's your view."

Popular Post srsmithusa Posted May 14, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 14, 2014 OOTK. ( out of the know). But if you have no buyer, your announcement says, "I'm going to sell, but in the meantime we need to prepare for a better season. I have every confidence that PF and PL can do an excellent job preparing and strengthening our side. We must be better, we will be better. Now that they have improved the economic status of the club, I will be providing increased support to assure they have the resources to do this." You don't leave the ship rudderless, adrift with no pilot, when you have no clear end point in sight. You keep the ship in the best shape you can, with a safe looking course, with enough investment to keep the value high, but not over invest, while you hope for a buyer. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 8 weeks the World Cup will be over the transfer window open, squad back in training etc. there is all sorts of complications for us then rather than right now where the club isn't playing, training and the window isn't open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
