To be honest I was of this train of thought last summer but considering we seem to be dropping like a stone I'd happily take a slight improvement.

I wouldn't. A slight improvement might be, say, stabilising at Championship Level. If that was the case I'd rather sink further if it meant we eventually found the right person to take us all the way back up. Dunno, I'm just speculating. Obviously anything could happen. I just get nervous when the price gets lowered and the "Consortium" is banded about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmarsha_926 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Looks like UK businessmen http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11677/10252514/aston-villa-supporting-consortium-in-pole-position-to-buy-club Quote A group of Aston Villa-supporting businessmen are in pole position to purchase the club from Randy Lerner in a deal which could rise to £100m, according to Sky sources. The consortium - which is partly based in the UK, partly in mainland Europe - is now carrying out due diligence having been given access to the club's accounts. Significant progress has already been made as American Lerner looks to sell the club he has owned for almost a decade. Sky Sports News HQ understands there are as many as eight groups which have come forward to buy the now-relegated Premier League club. The departure of Mervyn King and David Bernstein from the board has left the club in turmoil. However cost-cutting and the announcement of 500 job losses at Villa Park, has cleared the path for meaningful takeover talks. Negotiations were continuing on Thursday with lawyers in Birmingham and London and are at a key stage, with sources indicating significant progress towards a deal could be made in the next 48 hours.
