rubberman Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Quite damning in the Telegraph....Can't afford anyone in work, can't afford anyone out of work. No wonder King and Bernstein's roles were intenable. Nigel Pearson and David Moyes are both on Villa’s shortlist to take over but are keen for reassurances which the club are unable to provide. Moves for potential targets in work, such as Sean Dyche and Mick McCarthy, are also impossible at this stage due to compensation issues. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/04/18/aston-villa-in-fresh-turmoil-after-shock-resignations-of-directo/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted April 19, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 19, 2016 Interesting part of that article... Villa were close to being sold to a Chinese consortium in the summer, before Lerner dramatically called off negotiations while the transfer window was open. There was also interest from other parties in Switzerland, Germany and America. Why would Lerner call of negotiations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 If he was going to call it off because of TV deal maybe he could have actually invested some money so we can get a share of the TV deal 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted April 19, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 19, 2016 Lerner would have knew about the TV deal yonks ago. In fact, was it not all announced a couple of years back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 anyone know why they chose to close the upper trinity? id have thought with that being the newest stand with the best facilities and the stand that everyone will see on TV it would have made more sense to close the upper DE, the cynic in me is thinking that when they get a sniff of a potential good crowd they'll reopen it and make the most money from it can imagine a lot of people in the lower north being unhappy too, if they're redeveloping that area for disabled people id guess thats the end of the standing days down there too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
