NurembergVillan Posted December 23, 2005 Moderator Share Posted December 23, 2005 Sky Sports said that Michael Neville has confirmed that the bid is at the "due diligence" stage- in other words the Comer Group are going through Villa's accounts. Apparently a £64.5m takeover could be completed "within a few days". So here it is Merry Christmas, everbody's having fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Lead story in the Meaning Evil this morning. To paraphrase : The Comers have now met with Doug and talks have gone well. Michael Neville said that the deal would not be completed today but could happen next week. They will not offer Abramovich type deep pockets but will offer a broader platform for the club to build a prosperous future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Lets hope that gives them the oppotunity to build the broad platform in time for the transfer window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCresswell Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 I'm doing the takeover dance. Anyone care to join me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stato Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Talks are at due diligence stage, i.e. going through financial accounts. Michael Neville can't see that anything will hold up the deal and should be done by new year. Ellis is said to have been "most charming and helpful" throughout negotiations. Neville says Champions League is a realistic possibility within 3 years. He must be planning on spending a bit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NurembergVillan Posted December 23, 2005 Moderator Share Posted December 23, 2005 Rich, it's Christmas, and this is the most hopeful bit of Villa news since 1996. I'm happy to get over excited for now and then see what happens in the New Year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 so why has dol said there is no money if the takeover is to happen? that would mean the comers will not provide dol any cash in jan? OR doug might want to do one kind act before he leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
