The 2016 Takeover Thread

In "The Times" yesterday it was said "The Duke of Cambridge engages with the Chinese to get what he wants. During a trip to China in 2015 the prince sought their help in stifling the illegal trade in animal parts. He sat down for relaxed talks with Mr Xi even chatting about their common interest in football". I wonder did he mention we are for sale and that he wants a takeover to happen. Might this have played some little part in any Chinese interest in buying our football club that there might be? :detect:

Don't how reliable this is, but been speaking to someone who claims to be friendly with a (soon to ex) sparky at VP. Reckons the word at VP is that no sale is remotely close, he's heard whispers of a few people being shown around, but thats as far as it goes. Now he is only a sparky, but the general vibe at VP is pretty much business as normal - if your waiting for big announcement......there ain't one !

Surely not ? they wouldn't hoodwink us would they...?

As said before, I don't see any reason why they would lead us to believe a sale was imminent (or advanced, or whatever synonym they used) if they were not. It would only make fans even more annoyed when it turned out to be nonsense. What would they have to gain from making us think it was about to happen?

So a mate of your mate who is a tradie knows about the M&A activity at Villa Park where every party has to sign an NDA. Right.
