Who will buy us?

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Now that Cleveland law firm Squire Patton Boggs are handling the sale (Lerner used them when buying us), I'm guessing Asia is the target. They also were used by Sheff. Weds and Fulham.

What other takeover of any football club recently has seen high profile members of the board depart before the deal is complete?

got to agree

the resignation letters say it all. they wanted to make changes, someone else didnt and so they left

talk of a take over is just that - talk

just relegated with a loss of 27 million and the majority of players not good enough/not giving a shit hardly makes us an attractive proposition

still at least we have a new badge

If he is selling cheap then it is a good medium term investment. Get us back up and you have a far more valuable asset on your hands.

But thats the unknown. What will it cost to do that, and will the increase in the asset offset that cost, particularly given the state of the financial accounts. Horrific

There was interest at £150m. If we are now going for half, it shouldn't take £75m to get us promoted.

I think Lidl will buy us at a basement bargain price.

I would be extremely dubious about anyone who waited for us to drop out of the top flight before completing a purchase.

We would be in Mandaric or the nutter at Leeds territory.

Mind you, Lerner could well eclipse that pair.  Appointing himself DoF and King Penguin simultaneously.

Your thinking is right but it hasn't worked that way at other clubs who've dropped.

What was the state of the Board right before Ellis sold to Cockface?

[HolmesyVilla]

2+2=5 I believe so with these resignations of Bernstein & King I gotta say it stinks of a Chinese takeover

Yea baby there was a definite (ping) pong of something
Villa are back ello ello
