dounavilla Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Id like a joint takeover from Art Garfunkel and a small donkey dressed in ledohosen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted July 7, 2015 Administrator Share Posted July 7, 2015 We have 149 pages in this incarnation of the fantasy takeover topic. It's all based on a few tweets and nothing else. But please keep it to just the takeover. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjaacckk91 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Fantasy takeovers? You got it! I'd love it if Bilbo Baggins, The Ultimate Warrior and Jackie Chan's character from Police Story came together in a consortium and bought us from Randy. Although they might want to re-name us The Ultimate Aston Hobbit Villa Football Club, but I'd allow that, as long as Bilbo slotted into central midfield to finally replace the gaping hole that Barry Bannan left. Batman. He's rich. (preferably Adam West incarnation, he's more fun) Pfft I just looked up his net worth and batman is only worth about $11bn. I want someone so rich that money isn't an issue. Smaug wouldn't be bad... Think of what we could buy with $60 billionhttp://www.forbes.com/special-report/2012/fictional-15-12/fictional-15.html ...I hope we actually hear something official soon, all this not knowing is bad for my(mental) health.

useless Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 That we won't be taken over is just as much a fantasy as that we will be taken over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaluke Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 That we won't be taken over is just as much a fantasy as that we will be taken over. I dont know about that think it is a 50/50 chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romavillan Posted July 7, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 7, 2015 Ha our collective concsiousness is like a fat depressed teenage bird, this thread has been through wild drunken excitement at potentially getting laid by a rich american and now is resorting to self loathing and fantasy after not hearing anything for a couple of weeks. Seriously, exclusivity period of 6 weeks story broke aroun 8th of June, it's been a month since then not 6 weeks. Exclusivity agreement is probably complete lockdown from both sides to avoid leaks. Relax, we will have some news before July is out. Coudl be good, could be bad, as useless would say, it's 50/50. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSmith22 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 A poster on r/avfc is claiming that there are strong rumors that the new owner is Phil Knight and the announcement will be made tomorrow. Anyone can post in that thread so could be a troll but let me just say it would be incredible if he was the buyer. He's the co-founder of Nike and worth over $20 billion.

juanpabloingram Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Interestingly, Phil Knight has also very recently annouched he is to step down as Nike Chairman.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I've seen those rumors on a few other forums. But would be strange considering he's in his eighties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 The rumour was started by some bloke on Twitter and I'd assume just based upon Fox once working for Nike earlier on in his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone can post in that thread so could be a troll but let me just say it would be incredible if he was the buyer. He's the co-founder of Nike and worth over $20 billion. He stepped down as Nike Chairman a couple of weeks ago, and is transferring $13 billion of his stock into a new LLC he has set up called 'Swoosh'. The Swoosh board consists of him, a Nike CEO, a FedEx CFO, and an E-bay CEO which makes a very interesting group....... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I've seen those rumors on a few other forums. But would be strange considering he's in his eighties. So is the Ultimate Warrior and Jackie Chan's character from Police Story. Unfortunately this may rule out Bilbo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thread can be found here if anyone is interested... [strong Rumours] That Phil Knight is our new owner, Co-founder of Nike. Also there's people saying that staff at VP are saying 4:30pm tomorrow we will know.. Could be bollocks, but I'm excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
