Cliffy Biro Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Theres definitely an Embargo imo, who the buyer is anyone's guess though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 $400m equals £237m which is near to the estimates of Lerner's asking price I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackpotForeigner Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 If the bean counters at Forbes have any sense, they will subtract the purchase price of Aston Villa from the buyer's net wealth. If anything it's a liability rather than an asset 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarpie Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 IF the buyer is announced on monday, we might get some snippets on tomorrow evening, but I'd be very surprised if they are already ready to announce it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I think were going to find out sooner rather than later.Possibly why Lambert and Faulkner went to NY to Lern the news from Randy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monday "could be fun" could mean anything though, not necessarily announcing new buyers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyAnty Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 AY LADS, AV I DISCOVERED SOMETHING HERE??????!!!!!! I was obviously banging on about Joshua Harris the other day after the Matt Law link, well i checked his Forbes account on that day, did research on him and he had a consortium backing him. BUT HE WAS WORTH $2.9BN. I've just looked again and as of today, with no red decrease on his wealth he's worth $2.5BN, has he made a large purchase maybe????http://www.forbes.com/profile/joshua-harris/ it's **** this guy i just know it! UPDATED THIS MORNING! EMBARGO AND HE'S BOUGHT US IMO His worth wouldn't go down after buying Villa though, would it? He'd now have a new asset that would be part of his calculated net worth. The figures on Forbes don't equate to the amount of cash in a billionaire's bank. Yes i know that, maybe he's transferred funds but has not officially had the club handed over yet? Bank of America holding the money for example? Who knows it's just odd for it to drop 400$m since march 2014 without forbes recording a loss? When wealth goes down it always has a red arrow with the amount, but it doesn't Yes if this happens you should take up being a private detective. Great digging and it is very plausible the money is being held by an intermediary to everything is signed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alreadyexists Posted May 17, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted May 17, 2014 Blimey, I've not been online for a couple of days and there's an additional 100 pages. From reading the last 10 or so I gather that we've not been sold yet, and no one knows who is interested, but there's been speculation about quite a few people. Is it genuine that Lambert flew to new york for a meeting with Lerner? It's all go on VT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Maybe the announcement on Monday could have something to do with Karsa and Culverhouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunny*Nunny Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 If people are making stuff I hope for their sake it doesn't bring them bad korma. I've heard we're going to change our playing style to Arsenal-like tiki tikka pass and move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunny*Nunny Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 My guess for Monday is that we'll be told new owners are lined up and the deal is being closed and that as it stands Lambert will be manager next season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
