Which species?

The way she's doing my head in lately, I think she's from the Bovine species! 

She could also be canine, the bitch!

Sometimes we wonder if
we don't know why we're living.
We came to be,
so we are.
Everyone tells us
We can be whatever we want.
We wish they wouldn't
because we want to be
everything.
But sometimes we feel
that we are not supposed 
to be anything,
there is no destiny,
no will,
no fate.
And sometimes we wonder if
we will be happy tomorrow.
 
Everyone else
has callings,
dreams and goals.
We think sometimes
we were called
to live in the moment,
although so many times
We are living for our future.
And we want to get on with life
but we don't like
doing nothing either.
We think it would be good
if we were a philosophers
or maybe 
mathematicians or even if we 
hated football
because we could think
about the things worth thinking about
We could feel as if
there is a point in trying
to figure things out.
But then we remember
that we are waiting for our future.
We'll probably die first.
Not from an accident
and not from suicide
and not from poisoning
and not from starvation
and not from heart failure.
But from boredom.
Or more likely
from contracting
a rare disease
caused by checking Villatalk every hour!
 
Sometimes we feel
like we are just waiting.....
 
Waiting for a new Villa owner!

The last 72 hours have been the longest 48 hours in history.

By tomorrow it'll be 480 hours.

I don't think we're going to hear an announcement :(

Alan Nixon said on Twitter yesterday the new owners were waiting from approval from the Football League

We're villa. That is probably extremely unlikely. They want wholesome characters like hairdresser Carson.

Gutted :(

Sounds like a "Fit and proper persons test" if that's the case.

I thought every new potential owner buying a football club had to wait for approval from the premier league or football league? You can't just buy a club without them approving it surely?

If this is response to me then I'll repeat what I said. I'm gutted that its the Football League and not the Premier League we're waiting for approval from in that it's just hit me that we've dropped a league.

Nothing to do with needing approval. Thats standard.

The only thing I can find is "Chinese group think they are doing it. How long to complete and pass the Football League tests .. unknown."

Which doesn't necessarily mean we are at the fit and proper person test stage, just that it needs to be done.

What stage is the fit and proper person test done? Is it pretty much when a deal is complete or in advance of that?

The tests are pretty much pointless if we are to go on the state of some clubs in recent takeovers. Leeds, Blackburn, Fulham, Forest, Blackpool, QPR, Cardiff,  just to name a few.
