I'm doing the takeover dance.

Anyone care to join me?

Wahey! will you lead, or shall I?

And Al's tune will do

Oh the weather outside is frightful

But the fire is so delightful

And since we've been waiting so

Let Him Go! Let Him Go! Let Him Go!

It really showed signs of stopping

But the Comers are still shopping

The fans were feeling way down low

Let Him Go! Let Him Go! Let Him Go!

When he finally says goodbye

How I'll love going out in my shirt

But if you'll really hold me tight

At last we'll be rid of that shite

The ellis years, slowly dying

And, my dear, we're still goodbying

But as long as I'm a Villan

Let Him Go! Let Him Go! Let Him Go!

Tremendous news. :)

Due diligence stage, ie accounts being looked over with a fine tooth comb. Wonder what they will find?

Insurance policies on dodgy players? Dodgy medicals?

:winkold:

I get the impression that the due diligence has been completed and there is simply a little bit of wrangling over the final price to be had as a result of the findings of the due diligence.

What i want to know is what Ellis will do with all that money?

He is in his eighties, has had heart surgery. If he was my age, i would understand him blowing it on hookers, drugs and lavish holidays. But at his age, it will take at least 15 kg of Viagra.

:lol:

Just spoke to a bluenose mate of mine and this takeover came up in conversation

Time to change your friends.

:lol:

To be honest, knowing a bluenose isn't something I'm proud of and isn't something I admit too often :winkold:

Takeover talk now on BBC Sport:

The businessmen aiming to take over Aston Villa for £64.4m are hopeful a deal can be completed with chairman Doug Ellis before the new year.

Bid frontman Michael Neville said Irish property developers Brian and Luke Comer are going through the accounts.

"There is a possibility it could be completed by the new year," Neville told the Birmingham Evening Mail.

"They have met with the chairman and I am still very upbeat about completion of the transaction."

The club refused to comment but Neville described the negotiations with Ellis had gone well.

He said: "They have met with him and discussed a whole range of things.

"Mr Ellis has been most charming and accommodating and things are progressing well. Everything is very cordial."

Eliis has been chairman at Villa Park since 1982, the year they won the European Cup.

And Neville, an ardent Villa fan, wants to bring glory back to the club.

He said: "I think that Champions League football is a realistic possibility at Villa Park within three years. I would love to see them back in Europe."

 Free Aston Villa 
Free, Free, Free, Aston Villa
Free Aston Villa
Twenty-three years in captivity
Our ambition too small to fit our club
Our body abused but our mind still free
He was so blind that he could not see

I say Free Aston Villa
I'm begging you
Free Aston Villa

We pleaded the causes of the VFC
Only a few in a large army
Yet so blind that they would not see
And still so deaf they refused to support the plea

Free Aston Villa
I'm begging you Free Aston Villa

Twenty-three years in captivity
Making some blind that they could not see
Talking in rhymes that we cannot hear
Still so dumb they will not speak

I say Free Aston Villa
I'm begging you
Oh free Aston Villa, free
Aston Villa I'm begging you
begging you Please free Aston Villa
free Aston Villa

I'm telling you, you've got to free Aston Villa

I dont like this bit:
"There is a possibility it could be completed by the new year," Neville told the Birmingham Evening Mail.

That means doug can **** it up any time he likes, not good!

But don't you like this bit?

"Everything is very cordial and on track. I have got no view of anything which would hinder this deal."
