Dodgyknees Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Leave me and the kitman's wife alone! I passed on the info with the best intentions!! I can't take all this pressure and stress you 'doubters' are causing me. Yes I am the talk of the town, Yes I've broken the biggest story of the century, but I'm a human being with feelings too!!!! This has been a rollercoaster of a day alright. Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oaks Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Sky are reporting that Lerner hopes a new deal will be done within 6 weeks. It's been less than a week since we've been technically safe, I hope it happens in the next few days. I seriously doubt he would have released that statement if a deal wasn't close, but then again this man gave McLeish a job. So I'm quite nervous at the moment.

John Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Talk Sport have just mentioned a Red Bull rumour. The first of many more potential links... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teneka_Khan Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Just had an interview with one of the Daily Mail sports reporters on Talksport who said he had heard whisper of Redbull being one of the interested parties.... That would be nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeps Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I think it will be company or persons already in the sport world. Kraft, red bull, PA etc all make sense. Let's get this done ASAP. Move on and invest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzyc Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 ha ha everyone slating the itk's, cant see any negativity towards graham taylor who only yesterday stated that the villa had been sold!!!! If you listen back, he said it was "tittle tattle" he wasn't the one actually welcoming and naming new owners. must of read it wrong in the birmingham mail aswell then.......

daz316 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Read mat kendricks article for the truth no buyer in place and a turbulent summer coming up. That's all there is too it unless you want to fantasise and pretend and ignore the facts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarpie Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I don't want Red Bull, they would rebrand the club completely, as they have done with every team they've bought as far as I know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srsmithusa Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Merrill Lynch is banking advising, not sales advising. My best guess is, it's agreed in principle and cleaning up all the particulars. (which were likely put on hold when it looked like we might drop.) Someone above used the home buying analogy. If you didn't have a buyer, you contract a realtor, not a banker. IMO. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelboyVilla Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Talk Sport have just mentioned a Red Bull rumour. The first of many more potential links... This is the same Talksport that said Lerner wasn't selling up only this morning about an hour before he said he was selling? They are clutching at more random straws than us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be nice "one" of the interesting parties.....haha it was being reported that there were no interested parties only a couple of hours ago - I know a day is a long time in polatics but heck and hour is a long time in takeover interest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Do people really expect Lerner to sack Lambert if he's selling? Agreed. That would make no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daz316 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Love that people are ignoring matt kendricks article and just fantasising about new owners in a couple of weeks. There is no buyer in place 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teneka_Khan Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Yeah I know but I need to stay positive - the other scenario (i.e. no buyers in the background) is too horrible to contemplate. TBH got enough problems without worrying about my beloved Villa. Got to pray its all going to be ok ;-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted May 12, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) I personally think a deal is at an advanced stage. Can't see Lerner releasing a statement like that if it weren't. I know not many on here give him much credit but he's not that stupid to say he doesn't want to own Aston Villa, but will continue to do so. He just wouldn't put himself out like that. I also don't know why this discredits any ITK's on TBAR, to me a takeover is definitely happening, and it will happen this summer. It's just a question whether it's weeks or months. I imagine Randy has been trying to sell the club for quite some time, not just starting today. Also, if a deal hasn't been lined up, then why is Lambert shitting himself about the future? He knows he hasn't got a job here, Lerner won't sack him. Edited May 12, 2014 by PieFacE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
