TrinityRoadSteps Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Something is definitely in the wind now. No doubt in my mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Lions_Roar Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 No denial from Lerner, just saying he'll address at the end of the season. Sounds done to me but refusing to get carried away yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I were expecting a denial from Randy, but he didn't really do that. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supervillan78 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 That statement is very interesting especially as there was no outright denial. Sale on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isgill88 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Very similar to the statement put out a few weeks before McLeish was sacked. "We'll address that at the end of the season (but don't worry, it is happening)". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaForever1970 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 What is worrying and would be typical Villa is that we have a buyer but we’ll end up being bloody relegated and it will scupper it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSV Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Rumours are spot on. This is obviously.. a sale that he wants. If we DO get relegated.. he loses his money and freedom from the club. Its quite clear he is telling us.. the fans... get behind the team.. so we can stay up.. i can piss off and you lot can have a sugar daddy. Win Win. Hes taken the blame for our season (parameters he set). He clearly likes Paul Lambert to stick up for him. This is absolutely brilliant news.

thetrees Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 We were getting regular 40k attendances when we were in the top 6 under MON. As mentioned worst ever home form and we're still getting 36k average this year more or less. Clearly not much difference between winning shit football and losing shit football. Really next time we all deserve a manager that will produce winning, attractive football. We have certainly paid the deposit over the past 8 years.

NoelVilla Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 We now need one bloody win and this summer is going to be fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smetrov Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 WTF - I read that about 6 times looking for the denial ? - That actually makes matters worse (in terms of speculation and selling) - its such a bad statement - I wouldn't be surprised if he has to issue another. Either deny it or say nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaForever1970 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Then again no guarantee a new owner would be better than Randy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 God the rumours look like they are true. New owner, no Lambert and maybe some ambition for the club. What great news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwan Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 For better of for worse, a change is needed. Let us hope for the former. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted April 20, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted April 20, 2014 Yeah that reads to me as if everything rumoured is true.. Very surprised tbh I've got to admit, I'm more afraid than excited. There's a lot worse than Lerner out there, especially Yank owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 We now need one bloody win and this summer is going to be fantastic. I think we are safe already. I actually think 35 points will be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Yeah, if it wasn't happening then he'd deny it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendi Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 "Following the point yesterday at Villa Park, there have been stories about my selling the Club. On a personal level, I had hoped the emphasis would have been on the amazing effort on the part of our manager and our players to regroup throughout a very difficult week. Injuries to Libor and Christian, compounded with the early loss of Jores and the difficult rehab of Charles have no doubt left Paul with far less to work with than is fair. Still, Paul Lambert has done nothing but work within the parameters I've set, put the Club first and continue to trust his players. As regards my personal role at the Club and the steady rumours of a sale, I will address these after the season. Paul Lambert, Paul Faulkner and I speak daily and remain committed to the immediate job of limiting distraction and confusion in order that Villa have the best chance possible of finishing on a strong note." - Randy Lerner, Aston Villa Chairman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
