Duck Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Any takers for a takeover leading to a large sponsorship deal of the north stand? Obviously depends who if anyone is lined up to finalise the takeover.... But could see a healthy investment for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I'd say there's a 50/50 chance that the North Stand name will be sold to a sponsor. I guess that may, or may not be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackbauer24 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Stan Collymore @StanCollymore 14h14 hours ago Coffee and a chat with Tom Fox at VP. Some very exciting developments at our club in the coming months. #UTV He also added picture of the North Stand and said something about infrastructure and investment in people. Sounds to me like the club could be slowly leaking the news of Randy's 'plan b'. So possibility Villa/ Lerner have moved to a Plan B. Roughly about the time 'exclusivity' may have been concluded. Around the same time WBA begin an exclusivity period. 1+1 may well equal 5... but still would like to hear a little more positivity about the takeover. Villa have never confirmed the exclusivity arrangement have they? Why wouldn't they? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa have never confirmed the exclusivity arrangement have they? Why wouldn't they? Albion are a limited company so have to publicise what's going on we are privately owned so don't. Both will be under NDA's and nothing apart from their 2 statements have been said. It seems the bidder we turned down has moved on to them. I'd go as far as saying our bidder is that close to buying us the other interested party has moved on to their 2nd choice. Hopefully Lerner has chosen the best one!!!

daft Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Investing in people is just some cliched American business speak. Never really understood what is actually means. In my line of work that could mean recruiting top talent from other companies or investing in training or allowing development of individual skills on company time through personal projects or experimental/exlopratory projects. It's corporate speak, sure, but it isn't necessarily just posh talk to keep up appearances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 T'was only a whisper, but there were rumours that Lerner will fly in next week. Might be worth keeping an eye. Don't bite me if wrong. Same person who gave me info about takeover last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan4Life Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) According to a few baggies forums the guy who wants to buy Albion that Lerner turned down in favour of American Consortium is: Wei Jianjun (worth $6billion, and 10th richest guy in China) and not Wang Jianlin ($42billion and owner of Dalian Wanda group) So hopefully whoever buys us is more loaded than Jianjin London Baggies @LondonBaggies 14h14 hours ago More chance of us raising £7.5bn by end of next week than this Wei Jianjun buying us. #wba Edited July 4, 2015 by Villan4Life 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I have to say that if as it seems the price for Villa was similar to the one for WBA then we were the better deal by some distance. If someone has agreed to buy us then they should also be the pick of any potential investors that there were. If we remain unsold and WBA have new owners in place by the end of August then I think the club may have some explaining to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This Could Be Rotterdam Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 AVFCTransfertweet (I know he's had a bad rep in the past, but doesn't seem to post as much rubbish these days) is saying that there's going to a meeting at Villa Park on Wednesday headed by Fox and Wijeratna. It seems this has all come from a random guy on twitter who's mate works at the villa and they've just run with it. Not reading too much into it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Why are people assuming this is this Randy plan b that Collymore is referring to.? It's all about the takeover! In fact imagine this...it was not Lerner that employed Fox directly. He had been sounded out by the potential new owners to begin cleaning the mess up and keep us in the league.

useless Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Any new owners might have plans to keep Fox on, but I seriously doubt they were the ones responsible for him being in position already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
