Shaw_nuff Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Secret footballer just tweeted Randy has agreed to sell Villa to "The Pheonix Group" Any ideas? 'Get back ya bastard or I'll break yer legs'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 The American 'Phoenix Group' just seem like a division of Merril Lynch, from what I can make out. Like I say If they have anything to do with anything I think it would be more likely that they're just helping out, rather than actually buying us.

Gompedyret Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Darn. That was all needed for me to get excited again! Go Phoenix. Only read the first book from TSF, that was certainly a blast. He doesn't strike me as one to post unsubstantiated things just for the attention. Hopefully it's his real account, and there's something up.

What would Dave Kitson know about the ongoings at Villa though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) Do we even know if 'the secret footballer' is really a footballer and not just a journalist. Wouldn't be a good idea to tweet rubbish knowing that he's got books to sell based on his reputation as having an inside track on what's going on behind the scenes.

nazvfc Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I believe it is not the British company called The Phoenix Group it is the American company which is linked to Merril Lynch. It all seems very random to me. Probably already posted so can't be arsed to look but weren't merril lynch tasked to find buyers by randy? Sure it was in the statement Lerner made ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam3773 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Hopefully the Phoenix Group is some gajillionaires in a consortium, the name representing our rise from the ashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - it was a couple of M&A guys from Bank of America Merrill Lynch (BAML). Josh Whipple was one, but can't recall the other guys name.

jacketspuds Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Will no doubt require us to stay in the league so relegation is pretty much nailed on. Lerner is the unflushable turd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Randy Lerner has put a £150million price tag on Aston Villa after fresh interest following the new mega TV rights deal. Bank of America are still trying to sell the club for wantaway US-based businessman Lerner, who has stopped Villa’s costly cash losses. The new £5.136bn Premier League TV deal makes the Birmingham club even more attractive to buyers. Potential bidders include American outfit the Phoenix Group plus a Qatari consortium, members of whom recently attended the Chelsea game. But with the Villans currently second-bottom of the Premier League and battling to retain their top-flight status, MirrorSport understands no deal is close or expected to be done until the club are safe from relegation. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/aston-villa-sale-150m-massive-5224048 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam3773 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I'll believe it when a signed contract is scanned to the OS, a statement is made by Randy, and I see his birth certificate to prove he's American. Until then, no deal is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
