dudevillaisnice Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) A) Randolph Lerner not Randy. This isn't a local pub he is selling B ) No mention of Lerner family trust which is listed on the official website under ownership. C) It's nonsense and looks like anyone can edit it which to me looks the case here D) It wouldn't be available on such an open scale to employees.

Ant Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 You can't fail due diligence anyway can you? Surely its just checking over the company accounts etc and ensuring what was proposed at the beginning of the bid is there now? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Well considering nobody even knows if anything is every happening we will probably never know if due diligence was failed and can just go back to waiting for a takeover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I wouldn't take to much credence from that document. TBH though, I think the whole exclusity thing is a spin, I don't beleive we are remotely close to a sale. (IMO of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH though, I think the whole exclusity thing is a spin, I don't beleive we are remotely close to a sale. (IMO of course) what a weird assumption, why would anyone at the club bother to spin something like that, usually they are more than happy to make us disappointed and devoid of any hope, i don't see how that would tempt other buyers out of that hotel room they've been holed up in with Dale Stevens and that other Asian player from Germany that i can't remember the name of either.

If there is something for sale that no one else wants, you don't advertise the fact that you have 'no takers' - you want your asset to appear desirable....

Really ? - Ive not seen that If true then thats puts things into a different perspective. (assuming we are talking about the same ITK ......who dissapeared from around Christmas ?)

useless Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Both Percy and Pat Murphy have said we're in Due Diligence, that's good enough me, hopefully we hear something soon. My fear is that we'll be sold to someone completely underwhelming like Joshua Harris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I just thought it was a strange thing to make up, if you're a Villa fan. And if true wouldn't give me confidence over the other bidders. It most probably is just balls though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eames Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Why would Joshua Harris be underwhelming anyway? Well he's only got the one Bearing Sea crab fishing boat and with the best will in the world the income from the Cornelia Marie is not going to sustain a club the size and stature of Aston Villa. I'm with Useless here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
