Picked this up from another forum. Don't shoot the messenger :)
1. ......... I'm told its on a number or villa sites about a Canadian billionaire in talks with Lerner about a takeover
2. It's true, he is coming over to sample a few games, but his main one is the Liverpool match when the main Canadian and his cronies will be stopping in a hotel close to Villa park.
3. I've heard the same rumours.. Apparently he's been quite a few times already.
-
A hotel close to Villa Park? might that be The Aston Hotel? Its not Justin Beiber is it? In before the lock.
-
I really don't need straws like this to clutch.
-
Yay. Another takeover rumour.
-
Ha ha, is he staying in the e-Tap hotel Lozells or the F1 hotel near Star City.
-
I hope it's Dan Aykroyd.
-
I hope it's Dan Aykroyd.
Who you gonna call
-
I hope it's Dan Aykroyd.
Nah, it'll be William Shatner
-
It used to be Arab zillionaires, now it's a mere Canadian billionaire. How can we sink so low?
-
William Shatner is not low.
-
My mate runs a B&B on Wellington Road and he has a Canadian visitor booked there in 3 weeks time by the name of Mr Singh. At £23.95 per night including full English all billionaires' are welcomed!

Anyone else pine for the Summer of '69?

Anyone else pine for the Summer of '69?
Ah yes, that was when I got my first real six-string.
Which, as I was an embryo in the summer of 69, was bloody hard to learn to play.
-
No news from this side of the pond but we can but dream!
-
It's either Michael Bouble or the guy out of Dumb & Dumber
-
Pamela Anderson and Jim Carey were originally Canadian weren't they? Though as she's been, briefly, on Dancing on Ice, suspect her finances are limited.
-

We've already got Dumb & Dumber running the show

At least Bouble rhymes with Holte!

However I believe Pam could still provide the requisite buoyancy to the club!

Shania "Kenny" Twain?

Will we stop being Lions and become Wyld Stallyns instead?

I think there is now a sufficient number of these rumours to justify a Villa's next billionaire thread? First it was the Venezuelans then the Qataris and now the Canadians. Will be ironic if it's Alanis Morisette.
I'm no professor of Canadian billionaires but Bodog founder Calvin Ayre would fit the profile.
-
Mark Carney? He's probably earned a few bob from his time at Goldman Sachs, and isn't it also a prerequisite of being a governor of the Bank of England that you have to be a Villa fan?
-
K.D. Lang. She's been having a constant craving for a balti pie.
-
William Shatner is not low.
This is a low (though it was Pulp he covered, not Blur).
-
You bastard. You killed Kenny !

ellis look alike....

But have you heard his Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds?
Not low.
-
Think I'd like Wailin' Neil Young as our owner. If I couldn't have Captain Kirk. And if it wasn't Randy. Or kd lang, who would also be good. Or Kathy Reichs.
-
Its Neil Young...and our team can walk out to "Keep on rocking in the Championship".
-
Supposed to be David Thomson isn't it? Canada's richest man worth 22 billion, you'd think he could run to a decent syrup with that kind of loot
-
Rather have

At least we would be keeping it in the Commonwealth this time Dave!!
-
Just in case there is any substance to the rumours, I want to be the first to say, THOMSON OUT!
-
A billion Canadian dollars? What is that like 200 US$ ?
:D
-
Fuck me, can my people not keep any secrets?
-

You might want to start reading stuff that isn't dated 1998. That statement is rather behind the times.
-
Rumbled, Toronto.
-
Are you Captain Kirk Toronto? and if so is Uhuru a Villa fan too ?
-
Why would anyone buy a business now when in 12 weeks value could dramatically change??
Utter bullshit
-
Thomson Reuters.
-
Nothing good will come of it. If the Canadians are interested it is only because there is oil shale under B6 and they want to frack us.

Both Katz and Thompson have been mention from that list.

Isn't Michael J Fox Canadian? From 'Proud History Bright Future' scarves to 'Back To The Future' ones.

All the way back to 1981 and 82 for me :)

We cannae take any more Captain.

It's not so bad. We've been fracked a few times before.
Talking of which, anyone remember the rumours that were once rife about Doug selling Bodymoor Heath because there is a fortune's worth of gravel underneath it waiting to be quarried?
You could be on to something there, Brian.
-
'We were asked to advise Aston Villa.'
Prize of pride to the person who can tell me who made that quote.
-
Its bollocks. The rumour started when mounties were spotted outside Villa Park, my insider said Lerner is cutting back on police costs.
-

Humble folk without temptation

Someone google "Canadian Billionaire"
Surely there'll only be 1-2 come up, then we'll know for sure who it is.
;D

The food stalls at the Villa all need to have a chef like Chef from South Park running them. "I'm gonna make love to you woman!"
-
Or Mike Myers?
Yeah baby!
-
This seems to have all come from that thing posted on that rubbish Facebook "banter" (*vomits*) page, doesn't it?
-
If its David Thomson, he's another one who inherited his wealth from his father. It is 22bn though so in a different league to RL.
-
I predict it's all a load of BS were not that lucky.
-
Or Mike Miles?
Yeah baby!
Myers

Devon Miles?

Word on the street is that cultural luminaries Leonard Cohen and David Cronenberg are behind the Canadian initiative.
Cohen has been deeply moved by the factory of sadness leitmotif while Cronenberg is interested in aspects of the relentless horror.
-

Myers
Also a Liverpool supporter.

Who's that arsehole on Dragons' Den? Kevin O'Leary?
It's either him or Don Cherry's UK subsidary, Mark Carney's 20% share or Peter Mansbridge.

Surely The Sultan of Brunei is bored?

What about the voice of Geddy Lee?
How did it get so high?
I wonder if he speaks like an ordinary guy?
(i know him and he does!)
and you're my fact-checkin' cuz
*Pavement on internal jukebox*
-
It's Justin Bieber. Negotiations overran last night, that's why he was late for his gig.
-
Surely The Sultan of Brunei is bored?
He is being entertained by the Sultans of Swing.
-
"Give him a ball and a yard of grass and he'll give you the move for the perfect pass".
"He's a nice young man, he's got a lovely smile" (apparently about Nigel Clough but whenever I see him interviewed after a Derby County game he looks more miserable than his aul'fella ever did).
Anyway, they were Stanley Victor's favourite band in 1993. The Sultans of Ping, that is.
-
It's hard to believe there's anyone else left out there who is both rich enough and daft enough to buy a football club.

A decent pair up front?
Or more boobs on the field to make Ciaran Clark happier.

It was the lead singer Ronnie Van Zandt and guitarist/vocalist Steve Gaines who died, amongst others. The lead guitarists Gary Rossington and Allen Collins survived.
-
There was this belief that Skynyrd were just the sorts of rednecks that Young was railing against, simply because they defended the place where they lived, not that they believed in the values that Young hated.
It was good publicity all round. They were planning on playing a gig together, but this being the early 70s they were all too stoned and/or wired to get it together.
Anyone who liked them should try Drive-By Truckers, particularly Southern Rock Opera, which is based around Skynyrd and theirs views on race, life, Neil Young and the plane crash. It's very good.
