Budleigh Salterton?  But that's in the UK.  Much more likely the Panama City Virtual Bank Inc.  Motto "Yow ent sin me royt".

These stories are always going to be written when the club take the lazy option of not trying to control the message - so far in over a week we’ve had nothing but the nonsense, say nothing at all statement from Dr T - they’ve done literally nothing to reassure or show that there is a plan going forward.

Not even a ‘we go again’

It took Lerner forever to find a buyer, and that's when we were still PL. Even if the interest is real I can't see them succeeding, particularly when we have additional debt to absorb.

Not sure we're not a better prospect actually than when Lerner sold. I mean we lost 81m in his last season compared to 14m in Tony's first. Plus the wage bill dropped by 30m. So even with no parachute payments we're a much more stable club financially. It's just mental Tony ever bought us in the first place i reckon.

If he wants to sell, that's a pretty flaky type of buyer we attract.

All that 'OMG WE R GOING TO BUILD A SMART CITY IN ASTON11!!?1" and hinting we are getting a new North stand of exceptional beauty to "oh noes we didn't get promoted, I can't afford this, we've got to sell all the players, I'm off".

It's like that utter fucking chancer Lerner with his "we will be here thick or thin" which led to him bolting at the first sign of trouble but not before having utterly enfeebled the club.

What an absolute mess.

A few people ( quite a few of us, in fact) raised concerns about Xia when he took over and were shouted down on here for daring to question him and his background.

I think I'll wait for a few better sources than a shitrag sun throwaway article before getting too worked up about this.

It was comments from a former board member that worried me when Xia took over. I haven’t read the Sun article. I don’t read The Sun

It seems a whole lot of conjecture from the Daily Star.

Although this has been published in the rag, Simon Jordan hinted there are big things bubbling away behind the scenes concerning us that he could not talk about.

Over the past 6 months he has been immensely complimentary about us and has also been absolutely hammering BCFC in the public eye. I have been wondering why he had such beef with them, maybe it has a PR element about it.

At least we could be sure we'd never get Trevor Francis in as manager.

But how the hell would that fruitcake know anything about what's going on at Villa ?

Seems to me that most in charge of the Villa have little idea about what is going on!

Usually you would dismiss all this as rubbish, but Tony has been very quick on social media to put people straight. His silence on this speaks volumes.
