VillaForever1970 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 From that post on TBAR: To confirm our news from earlier this week, the sale of the club is ON.This is no longer a rumour. It's all up to Sid, Shay and his team now to get us across the line.We will bring you more info as it comes to handClearly he is another who doesn't believe that Lambert has any power here now. Definitely true then.Considering he was the first to report the Culverhouse news, I think it is quite interesting that he phrased it like that.They weren’t it was after Trent posted something similar on here, funny that.

Trent just said sonething vague like 'there will be changes but not those most want to see'. That's not really enough to conclusively derive that Culverhouse is to leave. Obviously it could be a lucky guess which is why I'm not taking his word as gospel just yet but I'll certainly have more time for what he has to say after that.

GENTLEMAN Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Aston Villa are set for a £200 million takeover if they manage to stay in the Premier League. It is understood an American consortium, fronted by two billionaires, wants to buy Villa but will withdraw from the deal if the team drop into the Championship. Details of the consortium plotting to take control from American owner Randy Lerner are being kept private, with Villa's Premier League status on the line after four successive defeats. Survival in the top flight would guarantee Villa at least £40 million in television revenue and would mean the club remains attractive to sponsors. Early indications suggest the consortium would be prepared to invest heavily in trying to significantly improve Villa's playing staff. It is unclear whether a takeover would affect the future of manager Paul Lambert. Lambert has admitted Villa must change their policy of spending small fees on inexperienced youngsters and instead invest in strong players to avoid even more pain in the future. News of a possible takeover will excite Villa fans who have become frustrated with the current regime and successive relegation battles. Villa chief executive Paul Faulkner insisted the club were not for sale in February, but sources claim an agency based in the United States has been talking to potential buyers. Lerner made a rare intervention this week by declaring his support for Lambert after assistant manager Ian Culverhouse and head of football Gary Karsa were suspended. That move has been seen in some quarters as a desperate attempt by Lerner to try to help Villa avoid relegation and ensure the club remain an attractive proposition to interested parties. Lerner paid £62.6 million for Villa eight years ago and has spent another £250 million on players and facilities. He would ideally want his money back but a £200 million offer would most likely be too good to refuse. Shahid Khan paid £190 million for Fulham last summer, but that reflected a premium because of the club's London location. Villa's last accounts revealed the club lost £51.8 million in 2012-13 and that Lerner had waived £90.1 million of loans, converting them to equity. Lerner initially invested huge sums to help former manager Martin O'Neill achieve top-six finishes, but he has since made big cutbacks. It is unclear whether Lerner has attended a Villa game this season, with the 52-year-old accused of being an absentee owner by the club's disgruntled fans. The football acumen of Lerner and Faulkner has also been called into question following their managerial appointments and poor signings that cost the club a fortune. After O'Neill, who Lerner inherited when he took control from Doug Ellis, Villa have failed to gain any success with Gérard Houllier, Alex McLeish or Lambert. During last week's defeat at Crystal Palace, a section of fans called for Lambert to be sacked. Villa go into this weekend's fixtures just four points above the Premier League relegation zone. They entertain Southampton tomorrow and one more victory would probably be enough to secure safety. After Southampton, Villa face Swansea, Hull, Manchester City and Tottenham, and Lerner will be nervously watching the club's results. The departures of Culverhouse and Karsa are believed to have lifted the mood among the squad this week, together with the increased influence of Shay Given and Gordon Cowans. Given is a particularly popular voice in the dressing room, despite falling out of favour as a player under Lambert. Villa players complained of a lack of training and coaching under Culverhouse and the squad have been worked much harder ahead of the Southampton clash.

abdomlahor Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I think that there are a few parties interested in buying us but that the interest hasn't got to the stage where there is a sure sale yet. That would be my guess. Something would have hit the papers if there was a sale agreed already I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
