Ah, ThunderCats, a popular TV show in the 80's written by Theodore 'Tobin' Wolf Aka 'Ted Wolf'. Tobin Wolf fancied himself as a bit of an inventor and holds quite a few patents in America, one of which being an 'combat action figure'. A series of action figures that fire projectiles at each other from a spring loaded weapon. It's all starting to come together. You know who has action figures? Larry Ellison.

Dodgyknees Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Soooooo I spoke to somebody in the footballing world. He has is pretty confident that a takeover is happening/talks are ongoing and quite advanced. He doesn't have a name but heard that a group was leading the chase about 10 days ago. I've asked him to get the tables...sorry, thought I was Bubba Ray, I've asked him to get info. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MapleVilla Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Does that mean we can expect one more tweet saying thank you and goodbye and this chapter in "Today at the Villa" is over?! Next week Villa enter administration and a transfer embargo is enforced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People scared to question it for being seen as negative, others lapping up every word out of desperation. My issue with 99% of people who claim to be ITK is the self important censoring they imply they have to do to protect people. If you have some information you are not allowed/not comfortable to share then say nothing. Really, what is the point of saying 'I know something but I can't say what' on a chatboard?! The only reason that makes sense is they like to look important on a board that means nothing. Quite pathetic really. If I have privileged information at work then I use my professional judgement to decide whether it stays completely confidential (I.e. shut up) or I share either snippets or the whole story. What I don't do is walk in to the staffroom and say "I've heard something that impacts you all but I can't tell you anything at all". Worse still, I don't return day after day giving pointless snippets of non-information like "well you might find out something on Wednesday about any tiny facet of your job that I can attribute to my prior knowledge" Assuming I have info I feel I can share I'll give them a real heads up with actual facts but ensure that it can't be traced to me if I wasn't supposed to say anything! In this instance it'd be something along lines of "there will be a statement this week about a takeover, can't say anything else yet/ don't know what it's about". Not something may happen on some day unless things change. I've had a bad day too and I'm sick to death of people full of such self importance or pathetic enough to need people to read their crap and then whine they're not being respected. If you can't say anything then DON'T say anything. I don't think its always as sinister as you portray. some folk, genuinely want to share some good news, but have to be careful not to lose people( their source) jobs. I get your point about saying nowt at all.....but folk being folk. Edited July 2, 2018 by TRO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't enjoy it per se but I don't usually mind it. I had a tidbit about Jack Grealish recently, and it was straight from the horses mouth so to speak, I shared it on here and let people take it for what it was, it's the borderline narcissists that feel they have to defend there little secret. Just post your "ITK" and move along, don't poo poo every comment that's in the negative, we genuinely don't care that much. #XiaOut #OnTopic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brucie is still pouring over videos of the 1998 World Cup, to find us the type of experienced player who can cope with the pressure of playing for Aston Villa. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope so too mate, on the flip side I wouldn't be surprised if it was way off the mark, as we all know football is a fickle friend to us Villa fans, hence the take it for what it is disclaimer.

sidcow Posted July 3, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted July 3, 2018 Regarding Tortilla Tuesday, I have had a LOT of involvement with takeovers, many of my clients have been taken over or have taken over others. The one thing you can guarantee with absolute certainty is that no deadlines are ever, ever met. Things just slip and slip and slip. I can't think of a single one which has gone ahead smoothly on the date aimed for. If something is 100% being announced today which people were knowing last week or at the weekend, I very much doubt it's about a takeover. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
