useless Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I don't think it was actually Lerner's jet but an hired one though I think The Trees confirmed elsewhere that Lerner or a member of his family had been onboard. I guess it's quite leap to imagine that just because it's going to Milan that it might have something to do with Cortese. I guess Lerner could be zooming all over the world for all kinds of reasons. But nice to imagine it's all part of some good news for us.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But nice to imagine it's all part of some good news for us.. It wasn't the normal one. But this reg has been used by Lerner aircraft in the past. Although this is the first time this particular aircraft has visited BHX 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 But then why is Lerner the one flying over? Nobody said he was flying over, just that his plane was. His plane brought Solskjaer to the UK and back back in the day. OK, why would Lerner send his plane to talk to a CEO for new owners? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) You never know there might still be something in the Baltan stuff. I'm sure Abdul isn't in a position where he can give a running commentary on what's going on or maybe he doesn't want to keep repeat himself. What happend to it being Red Bull?

HanoiVillan Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 It is, what, 72 hours since Lerner issued a statement saying that a takeover was nowhere near and there's basically no interest in the club at the current time, yet here we all are pretending that Lerner's jet is about to do a lap of Europe picking up Cortese and Mancini as it goes. And they say adults don't believe in fairy stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post abdulaziz1 Posted July 10, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2014 Where's Abdul got to lately? heard nothing regarding Khalid Al Baltan on here for a while... all the info saying it was close and not seen anything else since Probably because it was BS I'm reading here almost daily, And it's not a case of everything being a BS or not, it's just there is nothing new to say. And as useless said : You never know there might still be something in the Baltan stuff. I'm sure Abdul isn't in a position where he can give a running commentary on what's going on or maybe he doesn't want to keep repeat himself. I wrote it once and kept without writing anything for a week or two until I heard more then I came back and said what I knew. It's not a BS, I'm sure about that, And I've been told about couple of the partners too (who I know by name). The interest and negotiations are there for sure. But as I said before it's not a case that I'd know when would it finish exactly. Even the guy who gave the information (The relative of Al-Baltan) from my knowledge I don't think he knows how long would it takes himself. I'm not sure what they're negotiating exactly but I knew the price was agreed in general and it was a negotiations about things which I'm not aware and lawyer things. I'm not sure exactly what and what they've been up to exactly. People here aren't that professional as they're in the UK or the US for example. I mean there a lot of things which you could know when you're not involved and even not that hard to find such an information. It's just a case of someone who knows them very well. And usually things like this aren't treated very secretly especially with people they know. But the case is about the full information and the details which would give more idea and an exact one. So Until I have something new (either all terms are agreed or not) or (wether they're still on it or not) I won't add anything because I don't have more information. The last time the guy answered me and told me he have nothing new was before a week or so. If I heard anything new I'd say. But I still think it's going through as before although I have nothing more since the last time I wrote something here. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 im suprised there is no interest in us, so much potential at this club its unbelievable If I take my Villa glasses off, we are not that great a proposition IMO. We have no ambition and are one of the worst teams to actually watch in prem history at the moment. We will need a root / branch rebuild of the team as we have a great reserve team which replaced the 1st. We have maybe 2 or 3 players of any quality. We will be relegated real soon which is the problem, if deflation of asset value is around the next corner, why not wait. Nothing that has been said or done in the last few years make me think this will change. Lerner is not a football man and does not understand the game at all.

Where do you get the great reserve team from ? Our reserves are hyped - but then fail to produce at first team level - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I think we do have a lot of potential here, just not for the amount of money that Randy is after. If he dropped his asking price, I think we'd see a few buyers emerge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
