smetrov Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Google it. Terms of gaining custody. Anyway this is OT. Back to the takeover. what the owner is ot in the takeover thread - lol have googled cant find anything that legally restricts randy's travel movements - not that I would expect to find details of his divorce settlement on line - as we know he is a very private man. pretty sure if Randy wanted to attend half a dozen home games a season - there is no law restricting him....where there is will there is a way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 "Anyway, he has to spend at least 6 months every year in Ohio due to the terms of his divorce settlement. 3 of his 4 kids are living with his ex-wife in NYC while he has custody of the fourth. He spends most of the week in Cleveland with the fourth kid, and then goes to NYC to see his other kids at the weekend". Thanks for that jamesbuchanan. It offers a reason he may have been a less frequent visitor than he once was but given he has made trips over and been at Bodymoor Heath more than a few times I would have thought he could have made the odd game. I guess the reception he might have anticipated getting having cut the purse strings might have been what kept him away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AValon Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Well, back on topic, it looks like its either going to be an American or Middle Eastern takeover. Inflated ego against inflated personal wealth? Whichever way it goes, its gonna be a bumpy ride.I Does it? Looks more like it's going to be no takeover to me. Well, there will be at some point.....just when is another matter.

useless Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 A few people mentioning on TBAR before that they heard a British consortium was interested one of them seemed to reckon that they would be allowed to pay installments. I still gots the feeling they'll come from the Middle East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 "one of them seemed to reckon that they would be allowed to pay installments." If that was the case it would suggest there would be a similar transfer spending policy in place whilst they saved the money to pay Randy back useless. I think we can do better. There are clubs available for less so they might want to look at buying one of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 This is a football club that is apparently worth nearly quarter of a billion pounds sterling, it isn't Littlewoods. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Just get out of our club, we were better off with Doug.Doug was at a point where he had to go but his last year was better than the last 3 we've had under Lerner.Each are bad but for different reasons. At least Lerner has looked after the heritage and history which keeps him light years ahead of Doug. TBH I buy a season ticket to watch the team and how they perform and the results they get is the main concern for me. My time watching villa under Doug was more enjoyable than watching villa under Lerner.Would you be happy with someone like Red Bull buying us then BJ10? Someone who would really try to make us successful, but would change the colours, crest and stadium name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Probably no truth in it anyhow. Omariqy who posts on here was one to mention that he'd such a rumour not the part about paying in installments just about there being a UK consortium interested. Just waiting for Russ Lynch to come through with his news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you're asking John the question but why would it have to mean drastic changes to the heritage of a club for us to be successful? Stadium name to be changed yes. But why colours and crest? Should we be grateful to Lerner for not changing any of this? We are already a small brand in world football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(it's all there, in the post you quoted.. .) Fair enough mate. I just don't understand how people say Lerner has protected the heritage of our club just because he hasn't done what somebody like red bull may do. Are we supposed to thank him for that?

But it does go to show that as time goes by it's easy to forget about the name of a stand and not think anything of it. May as well make some money at the same time.
