Mantis Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) My take on this is that only a select few people know what is really going on, probably Lerner's inner circle and the potential buyers (if there are any) and that's it. The rest is just guesswork and informed speculation, probably even among the team management. Edited May 10, 2014 by Mantis 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smetrov Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I can't believe a £200m takover can be kept under wraps - really hoping for something in sunday papers - but those headlines are usually out by now ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Communication at villa is like rocking horse manure, so it wouldn't,t surprise me if Lerner doesn't know.....it's probably his sisters decision. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smetrov Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 What was the speculation like before it happened last time? From what I can remember the announcement really came out the blue. No - There were a couple consortium making noises - then Randy appeared on the scene - for a couple of days it was all off - then on - It wasn't as protracted as some player transfers - but we didn't wake up and find Lerner was our owner...

What a way to show your intent by smashing the England transfer record with your first signing. So who do you fancy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
