Mammoth10 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Didn't Mr Adams go on record to say we are "pointless" a few years back. Yeah it was in the week leading up to the start of the season though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Folski Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 To be fair to Lerner, we're probably a steal at £150M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 At least it looks like there is genuine interest this time. I wonder about an Adams-Azerbaijan link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Well I'm glad this is the first real leaked buyer, clearly on purpose for some reason or other. I don't mind the idea of a successful footballer being involved, better that than a straight investment group looking to turn a profit. Adams is bezzie mates with the loaded Azerbajanis previously rumoured to be buying us, plus the sponsorships guy from the Baku games is now at Villa, so might actually be ok....

tonyh29 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Adams is certifiably insane , we probably don't want him anywhere near Villa park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 This is bad news. Really bad news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Of course Adams and the Azeri could also have parted company and Adams can't let go of his plan and is now seeking other investment. Lerner's got better options, the article says so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberman Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Jesus christ no. We really don't need to be bought with debt either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 What the **** We'd be in debt because they'd borrow money to buy us right? That stinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan4Life Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 This is very confusing. Looks like someone has photoshopped a picture of Sherwood, Keown and Adams onto a promotional picture of 90's boyband "Point Break" who included 2 guys from Byker Grove and the other chap plays Charlie Cotton in Eastenders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eames Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 A test of Randy's "love" for the club if a credible offer comes in. If he gives the smallest of shits he will only sell to a buyer who will treat us right and not lever us up to the eyeballs with debt for the privilege of owning the club.

dudevillaisnice Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I wonder if this was leaked by the club? Halo has been given access to a data room holding information on Aston Villa's finances, although its bid is not understood to be the current frontrunner of those remaining in the process, sources indicated on Thursday. Mr Lerner's advisers will wait until Aston Villa's Premier League fate is resolved before holding further serious talks with any of the remaining potential buyers, who also include at least one US-based consortium, according to insiders. http://news.sky.com/story/1479493/ex-arsenal-captain-adams-eyes-villa-takeover Atleast a few options it seems.

stewiek2 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 If the investment is right then this may not be a bad thing. Adams knows Fox so likely he'll stay on and as an ex-footballer he'll see the job Sherwood is doing. Arsenal do things properly so I would think following their way of doing business. Adams would be a niall Quinn figure I think. Fox would still be given the club to run on behalf of the investors. I actually think it could work.

dn1982 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Adams wants to raise £75m from the city then borrow £75m against the club! That's a joke. It'd mean no money for signings seeing as they couldn't afford the fee. I'd rather keep Lerner!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjaacckk91 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) After seeing the bit SSN are doing my main question is why on earth would someone that would need a 75m bank loan just to buy us even think about it. If it plays out that way I don't see how we can survive without heamorrhaging money. Edited May 7, 2015 by jjaacckk91 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 its worse case scenario for me, english consortium headed by an ex footballer, then when you add in the finances, thats an absolute joke doug coming back is a more favourable option to me, and i **** hate doug hopefully its just the same old sprat to catch a mackerel type stuff thats constantly leaked to the press 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 James Nursey claims they haven't actually put a bid in as it stands but are at the moment trying to find the investment. He still believes the Chinese bid is the front runner. Who knows, it doesn't sit well with me at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
