Just read the post and he seems genuine enough. Aside from calling in his debt I cant see what Lerner could do that's going to 'fuck us over' that much

A ITK on VillaTalk is saying the sh*t is about to hit the fan at Villa Park, he claims first hand knowledge from "The highest possible source" that Lerner is about to f*ck over Aston Villa in a very big way, that staff at VP all despise him, and all the Lerner apologists will be turned on their heads this summer...

Anyone on here hearing similar murmurings?

Fire sale, fire the current executives, maybe pull the strings and sell it off.. what else could there be?

I'll take that with a pinch of salt.

Really?

I thought he'd already done it?

I'd question that 'The staff at Villa Park despise him' statement.

That's unlikely, considering he's hardly ever there.

Don't really believe it but we should keep an eye on it at the end of the season. Nothing would surprise me with Lerner at the moment.

I just looked up the original post on VT. Posted at 1:38 in the morning and erratic in style to say the least.

Lerners just waived a £20m payment hasn't be? Hardly the action of a man about to do dastardly things to the club .

Could he be about to rip off a rubber mask and his suit and reveal himself as jasper carrot in a blues kit?

Quite.

Why don't people stop and think before either writing or believing this stuff? Screw the club by calling in the debts? After writing off the interest? And, out of interest, where is the money (in a company he owns) going to be found to pay back the loans (which are owed to him)?

The money isn't there. I guess he could theoretically load the club with loans from elsewhere to pay him back, but if he's that determined to screw us, why would he just have waived 20m the club owed him?

Also, any post made which matches these criteria:

1. Made in early hours of morning
2. Made on VillaTalk

immediately looks less credible.

Never mind, that Canadian zillionaire will be in charge by then and save us all.

Why does someone go to the trouble of registering here just to post this nonsense?

I'd also suggest a look at some of the previous posts that bloke made.

In one, he's claiming that the only reason Lerner wrote off the 20m interest was "because it makes it easier to sell up", which kind of misses the point.

I'm waiting for the blokes who run that curry house in Sutton Qataris to complete their takeover.
