ianrobo1 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I just have a feeling we will find out by the close of the transfer deadline whether this is dead or not and until I hear ellis say it is over then I have hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trinity-Tom Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 The power of positive thinking collectively will inspire the takeover to happen. This will be followed by the appointment of Hitzfeld and the signing of Ballack! I can see it now!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisVillan Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Must be nasty to have made that decision and still fancy individual games. My uncle is on the same non-Villa diet and he's had to stop himself wanting to go to specific games. Blose this season is the most obvious yet. A little vein goes in his head when it comes up in conversation. Poor bastard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilsonrx Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Ditto to that. No merchandising purchases either. Until I win the Euro Millions, the only way I can have my say is to vote with my feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahamaad Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I know a couple of people in that boat. The way I see it is I go to support the team on the pitch, Ellis can kiss my ass as far as I am concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villagaz Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Bid for Villa at a vital stage Jan 15 2006 By Graham Hill THE proposed takeover of Aston Villa was at a crucial stage last night with the Irish consortium hoping to buy out Doug Ellis putting the finishing touches to their bid. But it has again been emphasised that the Comer Brothers, who have been preparing a £64 million buyout, have NOT pulled out of the deal, contrary to midweek reports. Indeed, the pair have been holding top-level meetings over the past few days to discuss the finer points of the deal. And it now seems that the next 72 hours will be vital to the eventual outcome of the plan which has been in the public domain since October. Things are expected to come to a head one way or the other within the week. But sources close to the deal have been quick to pick holes in a number of stories suggesting that the Comers have abandoned their involvement in the takeover. Suggestions that Villa have had to fork out £150,000 just to make sure financial deadlines were met have been rubbished, with the figure more like £1,000 - a drop in the ocean considering the sums that have been discussed. This is draggin on and on and on and on.......... First they say 48 hours, now another 72 hours. We should know this week. No doubt with the week up it will be another 2 weeks and the january window will be closed. When's the old git's birthday? That's when he'll sell up. I'm still confident the deal will go through otherwise I'll go **** mental, it's beyond comprehension now why he won't sell. I've got the bunting and the booze ready!!!

ChrisVillan Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I admire how these people stick to their guns, but I like to go to games. When there's a protest, I'll be there at the front, but I can't bring myself to boycott. I certainly don't hold it against anyone who does, or think they're worse supporters.

Long weekend away with the family, something we don't get that much chance of or seing the blose game... We could send them down. The final nail in their coffin. I don't think I could miss it for anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisVillan Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I think the big fella missed out on the away win because he refused to give small heath money either But he went mental when we scored, nearly clotheslined me to the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddy Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I've promised I'll boycott, and I didn't go to any games over Christmas because of it other than Manyoo which I already had tickets for. Made the decision after the Doncaster game, couldn't stand paying for that any longer, over £100 including travel to see us play 4 lose 4 concede 10 and score 1 just isn't worth it. I can't stick with it though, I'm sure I'll end up at the WBA and SHA games over Easter whether there's a takeover or not. My issue isn't really with Ellis although it goes back to that, just the lack of passion shown by the team. As I'll be in Liverpool the weekend of the Everton game I'll struggle not to go to that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
