Is Tony really the man to sort it out.....or is my money just going in to a black hole? opinions gratefully received. Could be our finest hour. Renew.

As far as I can tell his first Villa related tweet was 30th May 2018. he does seem to have been right on a few things since then, but I’m not convinced that any takeover is imminent or logical.

mykeyb Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Law of averages mean he will get something's right. I will be amazed if Xia announces he is putting the club up for sale so let's see how connected Thatcherlover is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Just looking at this thatchers feed and I read a tweet from a bob weimann that made me laugh out loud on the train! Id post it here but have no idea how to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted June 12, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted June 12, 2018 That thatcherlover on Twitter - has all the hall marks of being genuine ITK in my humble opinion. However, it is certainly not David Cameron, as he supports West Ham. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As with all of these ITK's, time will reveal all, but judging by his tweets and conversations with several other seemingly very knowledgeable types, I think he is worth a follow for sure.

ViewFromT2 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Apparently TalkSport are reporting that the club is now up for sale....not listening, has anyone heard that? This seems to tie up with Thatcherlovers post on twitter last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh there's too much short answers etc - but basically they have an ear in the meeting yesterday and for general going ons and appear to be a few hours ahead of the press on some facts. Useful if you like bettiing but you might as well wait 90 mins and see the same news reported in the general media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He came here with the idea of a quick return to PL funded by parachute payments. It hasn't happened and the cash is running out - He might not come out and announce it - but at the very least he is open to offers. IMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will find a club with massive cash flow issues, spiralling wage bill and mortgaged up to its neck. Those are just the hall marks of relegated clubs and left over contracts. The wage bill isn’t spiralling though It’s higher than where we want it or need it but we have assets to cover it. If we sold Jack and Chester we would easily have enough money to cover any cash flow issues. I’d say we could even get away with selling most fringe players to be able to hold on to them for another year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJ100 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Could it be a prestige thing with China allowing money to leave? If we had gone up Xia might have been able to argue that he should be allowed to take cash oit as it's prestigious. The championship isn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
