Rob182 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 They might have left because Hollis said one of the revenue raising ideas was to pretend do a takeover to get ticket sales, making their positions untenable as they didn't want to bullshit the fans! So, they quit after hearing about the fake takeover plans, and then after leaving the club King then tells the press that the sale of the club is underway? That makes no sense.

Gary Thomas Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Can we have some news? Anything remotely positive. A dodgy ITK, a reporter or ex player tweet, a rehashed article on HTC, some inside source or even a mate of a mate who knows a guy on TBAR......anything. It is too quiet. My hope is fading. I can feel it draining away, Come on Randy give us something to romantically nourish us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fact that Bernstein and King were appointed only weeks go - would suggest that any takeover is in the very early stages (why appoint them if a sale is close ?) - if at all. Without any ITK whatsover - I d say we may have had a few people express an interest, but a deal is not as close as we are led to believe. The probability is we start the season with Lerner in charge IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it would be a good business decision for an investor to takeover that late, any good business person would smart enough to start the process now ready in time for the transfer window or end/pre season. If there is one it will be in place for appointing a manager and setting targets in due time. If not then see you all in a years time..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 (edited) It's so dead at Villa right now, I can't even draw inspiration from my Newsnow Aston Villa feed which is open 24/7.

Rob182 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Turn away now if you're not a fan of Twitter tittle tattle. Tweets being sent around that Wang Jainlin's (sp?) jet has landed in Birmingham. I've got no idea where this rumour started, and I haven't seen thetrees respond to the rumours yet. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
