midian Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Im not ITK and will never claim to be but I have been told that we have been sold (or very very close) but wont come out till after we sign few more players because they dont want other clubs increasing the prices as they will know we have new owners willing to spend.I don't know who the new owner is/will be but they have money to spend.That is from a really reliable source who would't make random chit chat up,like I said not claiming to know just passing on info. We aren't really signing players though, we've signed 2 free signings, been linked with erm, we really haven't been linked with anyone that's worth mentioning really. I found it hard to believe myself but was told we are in for a couple of players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdulaziz1 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Abdul do you have anyway of knowing if Tariq would be here in relation to a takeover? I mean, would it make sense, are he and his Uncle close? I'd say yes, It's somehow related. I've been told last time that it's in the last stages, Which could go with what "midian" said.

I'd say yes, It's somehow related. I've been told last time that it's in the last stages, Which could go with what "midian" said. Cheers bro, it looks like he flew in to London and did the Arsenal tour/saw a member of the family (judging by the photos). Following that, he stayed in Birmingham for a while before going over to Manchester for a stadium tour. Wonder if he has flown home now. I know it could be a holiday per se, but the Birmingham leg doesn't make sense. Family here? Sure, viable, but that would mean Al-Baltan has family here too which we surely would have known about already. It all just seems too coincidental to me: Al-Baltan states he wants to leave his position at Al Shabab and purchase a Premier League club, then the rumours begin about Lerner selling up before he eventually makes a statement saying he'll be doing just that. Al-Baltan leaves his position at Al Shabab not long after and now his nephew, who is also involved in Al Shabab, pops up in Birmingham. This combined with what Abdul and a few other Saudi folk on Twitter have been saying for a while makes me believe that this is the real deal.

abdulaziz1 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Is the person who is giving you this info reliable abdul? If so do you have any idea how long it will be until his interest is made public? Yes, I'm just trying to get the exact informations with more details. But I'd say from what I know it's either Al-Baltan finalized everything with Villa, or atleast he's in front of the race. Anyway they've been negotiating for about 6 months or more from what I knew. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This combined with what Abdul and a few other Saudi folk on Twitter have been saying for a while makes me believe that this is the real deal. I heard he have a house in Birmingham but I'm not so sure about that. Anyway I think there is more than 80% chance for Al-Baltan to finalize the takeover, That's if it's not yet finalized. Put it that way, I'm sure Al-Baltan is interested + I'm sure he's negotiating and in the last stages and it took began months ago. But I don't know details which would let me say more things. Details about who's his partners, What's his plans, When would the takeover finalized? .... etc I think the price is near to 150 than the 200. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the questions pal, it seems you're our only link! No problem mate. I'm not sure they've been negotiating since that time, I think he had plans to but an English team (But I think it was a championship team) But I don't know why he didn't, still trying to gather more informations.

samjp26 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 My guess would be that Villa popped up and being that our finances are now apparently in order, we could have looked a better option that gambling on a Championship team. Hope something comes out soon. You'll be a VT legend Abdul if this comes off. Saudi Prince of Aston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
