villabug Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Do you think that new owners would want thier own choice of manager? Depends who we get now if its a Curbishly or O'Neil they would get a chance but if we get a Hoddle they would want there own over him definatly.

theboyangel Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 I wonder if the club are asking the prospective buyers - who they would prefer to be in charge, ie Curbs or O'Neil??? and then install them at the club with the proviso that the deal goes through and certain ammounts of funding is allocated straight away??? I personally think the chances are very slim - it makes too much sense for a start :winkold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSV Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 id love to see Curbishley run Aston Villa with a bit of money to spend. He did superbly with limited funds at Charlton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaDave Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 id love to see Curbishley run Aston Villa with a bit of money to spend. He did superbly with limited funds at Charlton. Curbishley would be an admittance that all we can aim for as a club is midtable. He has done absolutely nothing in the past to suggest he can step beyond that. The bare minimum we should be planning for is a manager who can guarantee top six (with the usual caveats of funding, no interference etc).

Juju Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Having watched more live charlton football over the last few years than I deserve, can I say if you thought we were dull, with a propensity to go on long runs without a win, then Curbishley is your man!

100%-Villan Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 id love to see Curbishley run Aston Villa with a bit of money to spend. He did superbly with limited funds at Charlton.

The bare minimum we should be planning for is a manager who can guarantee top six (with the usual caveats of funding, no interference etc). Spot on. Curbishley to me is just ordinary. With Martin O'Neil in the job, the club would lose it's apathy and sense of doom and gloom overnight (well almost). I'm just keeping everything crossed at the moment, but i wouldn't be surprised if the Villa let me down yet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fran_villa Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 i have a gut feeling that we are gona be bought out,i think the reson for getting shut of dol so who ever comes in can bring in the own man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blandy Posted July 20, 2006 Moderator Share Posted July 20, 2006 He had less "limited funds" at Charlton - he had more than Villa managers have had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imagine it: Prospective New Owners - "We would like MO'N." Chairman (from the villa in Spain that he currently can be found at 24/7) - "David Platt it is then gents." Prospective New Owners - "The deal is off then." Chairman - "What a pity, can you keep quiet about that until the AGM?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent_Bob Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Just felt that since we allready have 168 page thread here, it would be wrong not to let it have the "honour" of being at the first page atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianrobo1 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 shares up 18p to 398 based on a number of buys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Does that actually mean anything significant though Ian? I thought shares are sold and bought fairly regularly anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianrobo1 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 not at Villa, but what it shows is that people are speculating there is truth on this and therefore if a takeover happens at say 550p obviously buying shares at 400p gives you a nice healthy profit for nothing.

stevenjos Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 is the senile old fool back from his holiday today? or is my mind making that up?? Im with Rob on this. we are Villa. This will be dragged out. I feel not much will happen quick enough for big changes before the window shuts. so basically, we can write this season off as rebuilding season. i hope i get proved wrong.

TomIsADeftone Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 So does this mean anything? Is the rise of 13% jst to do with people doing abit of speculative trading incase a takeover does happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
