I like the sound of the american geezer - but sadly I think it will be another eastern group. Are you allowed to post what has been said over there? I don't believe it's Eastern interest, as in those that want a swift sale. *Edit just seen your other post. He 100% wants out. I would put hard cash on that. As I said up above, we may well (I hope) hear what I typed today. Edited June 11, 2018 by TheEgo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted June 11, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted June 11, 2018 I quite liked TBAR back in the day - probably all the pent up frustration of Lerner's tenure, however, it was kinda crazy - great drama, no credibility - oh and Morgan Freeman for some reason.

Popular Post JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted June 11, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 11, 2018 Oh well, if true, a sale might be the best thing. Just hope we do the right thing this time. We don't need a multi billionaire, just some extremely smart football men. We are still Aston Villa ffs. There is HUGE potential, being in the Championship and cheaper will be seen as a great opportunity for someone. As long as they KEEP JACK, get a new long term manager and progressive structure in. I'm good. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll put it out there with a huge caveat that s**t changes. I believe we are in talks and DD is underway and that it's gone way past just wanting to sell. The company filing seems to suggest a debt to shares move. This part is PURE speculation, but it's plausible that their could be external investment as a preemptive takeover move, with the proviso they get a say on the board, be it officially or otherwise.

Papillon Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I take huge offense in the fact that he says he did everything he could, like he's not to blame. His utmost responsibility is to run the club in a responsible way for the fans - that's why a football club exists in the first place. He has taken risks based on us managing promotion within two years, something we have not managed to do. This outcome was not unthinkable, in fact, it was always not in our favor when there's 23 other clubs with the same problem as us, all chasing those millions. Xia is a fraud, a novice when it comes to the business of football and he has ruined our club by throwing everything on one outcome. Millions of fans not knowing what's going to happen and if there's any Championship-football to be played next season. Shame on you, wherever the hell you are right now. I do not care one second if he's losing his own money, he shouldn't have spent it if he couldn't sustain it. "Money locked up in China?" Are you kidding me? Is that supposed to be our problem? Again, not sustainable - what a huge amateur. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WBA owners were advised by Samuelson and Banfill, who as we know would of been on Villa's board. I think that info is a tenuous link. I don't think it will be a Chinese owner as buying football clubs has been hugely discouraged in China at the moment @Deisler123will know more about this. I'd be intersted to know the poster who said the WBA stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post briny_ear Posted June 11, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 11, 2018 Personally, I will be amazed if Xia doesn’t sell up as quickly as he possibly can. The only caveat is that I have been personally amazed by events at AVFC about once every six weeks for the past 10 years, so that may not be much of a guide. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your opinion, would the utilisation of player sales as a sort of stop-gap until any sale is finalised be more or less likely to include Grealish. His value makes him a very significant asset to the Company and would impact on any takeover would it not? Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
