mattley Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Ive got everything crossed in hope this deal goes through and maybe, just maybe we may have a board in place that has vision and is ready to back our manager to build a better team.

Silent_Bob Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 I've been quitely confident that this would go through all along. But I'm not convinced yet that the Comers are the answer to all our prayers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianrobo1 Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 well I did say eh :wink: however it is clear Neville is still in the game and the no comment from Villa and the lack of any real denial from Ellis's 'friends' shows that despite the delays it is on and surely if it is due dillenge then the bid has gone in and been accepted .... finally to those people who post they don't know about Neville just look at what Ellis is doing now and come up with a better and viable bid ... I will just listen to the wind whistling in the wind .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icklevillan Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Ian, however much you want this to happen, no-one in their right mind is going to make a bid and have it go through before the due diligence process has been completed. Otherwise they could be buying a lemon. Look at the product, and then buy into it. Not the other way round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianrobo1 Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 I agree Ickle but if they were in due dillengence it means surely a bid has been accepted, this we should have been told of. Also Pat Murphy on R5 has just said that the club want to see the money from Neville, but surely it is further than that. He also said Ellis still has a major role but a lot of what Neville and Murphy has said seems to be buttering up an ego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icklevillan Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Didnt Ranson's group go through due diligence though only for their bid to be rejected? If a bid has been accepted, Ellis was have had to have informed the LSE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drat01 Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 was the stock exchange open today? EDIT* Looks like it was but with very little activity on any shares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_W Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 fingers crossed, things dont run smoothly for Villa often, so when the ink is dry and all that but what a wonderful xmas present it would be if this finally happen. Sack DOL asap and get someone decent in for the transfer window with 20m to spend (even O'Neil might be tempted then) Then wake up and realise its all been a dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a bid has been accepted, Ellis was have had to have informed the LSE No it didn't Ickle, becuse Ellis wouldn't even let them look at the books because the value was too low. You only allow due dillengence if you are going to accept a bid, all we need to see is for the Comer's to put it into writing and the board (i.e. ellis) then sends the shareholders the offer documents. Whaatever happens this can not be completed by the end of the transfer window but if Ellis has sold by then, it means they can giove money for players, whether they will allow DOL to spend it we will haave to wait, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on lets get a full house to celebrate. good atmos - probably full house - I expect not, due to stupid bloody sky and a 5.15 kickoff. Love the boxing day games but they can forget it at that time, as we host a Xmas party on Boxing Day........... and before you ask..... no :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
