Mantis Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 apparently Taylor has got it from a very trusted source [Possibly Doug] that we are sold Maybe Ellis is buying back the club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfcwills10 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Also network gold has been on WM since 6, has anyone actually heard GT on there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smetrov Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 This is another example of people wanting to believe things. Collymore of National radio talksport says no buyer = 'THE MANS A LIAR WITH NO CONTACTS HOW DARE HE LIE!!!!' GT says something about us being sold on local WM = 'GT WOULDN'T LIE DOUG HAS TOLD HIM WE'RE SOLD I JUST KNOW IT'. Obviously i'm exaggerating but that is literally how the two reactions have gone!!!! People want to believe it so they convince themselves Ive been sceptical - I believed the identity of the buyer would have leaked out by now. But gossping and rumouring are just not what Graham Taylor is about - so I think its a significant [positive] development. Who knows maybe a newspaper has got hold of the story - so GT has been given license to say what he said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People want to believe it so they convince themselves And as people pointed out last time you brought it up, it's because Collymore's story has changed several times in the past week and works for a radio station that is notorious for winding up listeners so they call in. Indeed Collymore has gone from he thinks Ellison was at Villa park...to Lerner not selling...to Lerner wants to sell buy no buyer yet...in the space of 10 days. What ever happens he will claim he said it first on Talksport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) Did anyone actually hear SGT? Everyone seems to be repeating what he 'apparently' said according to a guy on TBAR. Edited May 10, 2014 by Davkaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smetrov Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Also network gold has been on WM since 6, has anyone actually heard GT on there? They usually have a sports programme that finishes @ 6pm - I wasn't listening today - but the first rumours of what he said appeared on here @ about 6.03pm ! Obviously it could be a total wind up and he hasn't said anything..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) There is one guy, and only one guy, on TBAR that is claiming SGT says the club is sold. I call bullshit. But I expect Stan "ITK" Collymore to confirm it any minute. Edited May 10, 2014 by Davkaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villan4Life Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01y9nmr Listen at 3hrs 31.. apparently this is where Taylor talks about it.. I am about to listen now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) Apparently it's three and half hours into this haven't listened myself. He is explicit that all he's heard are "tittle tattle". He heard it from "a good source" that we'd be sold if we stayed up, which is something that was reported in the Guardian and Telegraph based on messageboard rumours. I think this is a case of rumours being spread, and the same rumours being repeated leading to them being considered credible. Nothing to see here, IMO.

Davkaus Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) We'll see. I hope what he says is correct, but I think it's just people repeating the same rumours we heard weeks ago. If it's true that even people high up in the club have no idea what's going on, I'm not sure SGT would. I have a huge amount of respect for the man, but I don't think Lerner would tell him anything.

briny_ear Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 This is more exciting than the relegation battle! If the scenario where Lerner stays but sells some of his interest to another backer is right, I can't imagine Lambert being sacked tbf. Lerner rates him, he has done Lerner's dirty work and unless the new backer knows about European football, they won't have a clue about who might be better. So there may not be too much progress.

I don't see the shared thing happening. you've illustrated why in such a scenario who would have the final say on Lambert staying or going - the one with the most shares - so who is going to invest £100m and not have a say on the manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PeteWilson Posted May 10, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2014 Listenimg to GT himself, people are overstating the idea that he 'has said the club has been sold'. Much more like a rumour, despite the 'reasonable - or good source' that he mentioned. As has been said already, what's wonderful is that we're all on this thread rather than a relegation one! By the way, I got married yesterday and did get references to Villa in my speech you'll be pleased to know! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
