Quite a lot like it was for them but they are shot of our "custodian" now, there is no relegation over there and we do not get the first draft pick next season for ending rock bottom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What worries me is the statement was so vague it could encompass just about anything related to the sale, for example, Hollis negotiating with the new law firm who are being asked to help find a buyer. So technically they will be able to say they were not lying even though we all know they are misrepresenting things. Not saying this is happening, but..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean and I am a bit sceptical also but they need to get things moving along, they need to think about the revenue for 2017 and this is going to be piss poor the longer they **** about. There are only so many deck chairs to arrange for **** sake. Currently I doubt they could give season tickets away so they need to get a grip and sort it out.

Im not defending randy but the Browns have been shit for years and are still shit now. They get decent picks year after year for being shit and they're still shit. They may turn it around this year as the they have a lot of picks but we'll see. Randy selling them hasn't made them any better anyway. Still the same problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One might argue that the problems run deep for them thanks to Lerner and it is not easy to recover from the effects of him. that does not bode well for us 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree. if they think a bit of spin about a sale will convince fans to purchase season tickets I think they are mistaken. As I said yesterday, the only way forward is a new owner so i really hope it happens sooner or later. This summer is SO important. There is so much work to do we have to hit the ground running. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this ^^ For me it is do or die regards a takeover this time. The only thing which is of interest to me at this time is "are we sold yet"?! I do not give a Monkeys about the disgraceful way the club is run currently, which is rubbed in our faces everyday from all directions, we know it's a shambles so i'm not interested in hearing about it anymore!!! Nor the shocking way the players behave and display their stinking attitude to the club and fans or the fact we have no manager or whatever else because frankly none of it will change unless we are sold! So either we are sold or my interest in Villa is at level zero, aside from a passing glance on the internet to see whether we're sold or not! It does not matter one iota what the club or Lerner do or what BS they spout to try to heal wounds or whatever for next season as i will not be wasting any valuable time nor spending any money on anything Villa related until we are sold. It doesn't even matter who the new manager is because if he comes without new ownership in place he will be doomed to failure from the start anyway! You can give a house a makeover as often as you like but if the structure is damaged it will 100% collapse regardless!

Popular Post sharkyvilla Posted April 26, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 26, 2016 When Mervyn King's email was leaked, one of the pics had his office email address on it, so I thought I'd try and just found I got a reply. Nothing particularly new about a timescale, but thought it was worth sharing. Thank you for your email. All Aston Villa supporters are distraught, and rightly so, by the current state of the Club. We tried our best to turn things round but it proved impossible. I know that the Chairman, Steve Hollis, is working hard to try to bring about a sale. Let us hope that he is successful before long. We have seen many ups and downs over the years, nothing as serious as this.With best wishes,Mervyn King 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
