grobs Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Hopefully now people can just concentrate on supporting the club this season. The players are going to need us fans more than ever now no takeover is on the horizon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted July 7, 2014 Moderator Share Posted July 7, 2014 Basically saying nothing is close at all. Surprise that aye. Another awkward moment for people on various sites making various claims in relation to our sale. As I've said throughout this since the first two statements, we will start the season under Lerner's ownership and more than likely end the calendar year the same way.

Nabby Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Thinking positively I take that to mean that has no sale has been forthcoming , the club will go back to running as normal so new contracts for players and sales above free transfer allowed.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliffy Biro Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Well it basically reads that were nowhere near a sale, another kick in the teeth for all the ITK's, maybe this will mean people wont hang on there every word? Maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick76 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) Not sure what the point of that statement was unless he's being harassed a lot. If anything it makes fans more depressed so not much of a PR. He makes a statement, we automatically thinks he's sold but sadly no. Worse, it hasn't happened yet and now a club he hasn't been interested in that he's now going to focus on until he's sold. Not only that, it's a response to a promise to Lambert....never mind the promise to us about the guardianship of our club, nah just his promise to Lambert. Oh and by the way, stop bothering him as he's not making any more statements until we are sold. Edited July 7, 2014 by nick76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick76 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Christ, dry your eyes Nick.It's just bizarre statement. What did he say that was worth saying? When what he did say is just going to frustrate fans, surely better to say nothing than what he said? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGrath1874 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 He wants out, yes, but he must protect his investment.We need to keep hold of Vlaar and Delph and make some shrewd signings now. Relegation is not a certainty, if ever Villa needs it's fans behind them it's now! UTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Whats the point with that statement? He is basically saying what everybody knows?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG_Villa_Fan Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) OK, let's decode. Message from chairman Randy Lerner.This statement is intended to provide clarity regarding the status of the sale plea I made in early May.Over the last eight weeks we conducted a targeted process during which we begged for the sale of the Club.In advance of this process however, I committed to our Manager to keep expenses at zero for the upcoming season should there be no agreement to sell by the time players and coaches return to training.Given that no agreement has as of yet been reached, I feel that it is time now to turn my full attention back to the PR department to try increase ticket sales.While the sale begging has brought no interest and remains ongoing, my priority at this point in the summer, heading into the upcoming season, is that the Villa organisation's sole focus be to lower the wages- undistracted by any sales process.Reverting to common practice, I do not intend to comment further on a potential sale or related rumours unless and until I have reached a definitive agreement to sell, at which time I will be the happiest custodian in the world.Randy Lerner, Aston Villa Chairman P.S.

Mantis Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Hopefully this means we'll sort out some new contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I think the reason he has put that statement out is because of how his previous statement read. It read as if he was gone and he was saying goodbye. Maybe a sale was close back then, who knows. Obviously things have not gone well and a sale looks quite a bit away. Therefore, RL has had to come out and say that his focus is back on Villa for the forthcoming season but we are still for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeps Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Just means talks are on going with parties. Said it's going well which is good. Means contracts and fees maybe available to get us stronger. Not that in expecting £20m signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
