Staff meetings at BMH this morning, statement at 3pm according to talksport

According to Alan Brazil (yes I know), statement at 3PM today to say club not for sale

We'll see, but if it isn't for sale then there needs to be a drastic change in direction, and not just in terms of spending money. Randy and PF need advice from experienced football people, and I don't mean Joe fucking Kinnear.

wouldn't object to Randy staying if he's considerably more hands on, recognises he has to invest and make substantial management changes

A statement to say club not for sale.  Why would anybody bother making that statement?

I don't know whether we're being taken over or not or what the statement is going to say, but I would be suprised if it did say we're not for sale, as surely he would have said that a few weeks ago?

What an anti climax that would be if he was to announce he was staying. He's made a pigs ear of Aston Villa and the sooner he sells up the better.

And wait until the day after the end of the season to make it. Stranger things have happened though!

[saunders_heroes]

It's not looking good for a sale though. Surely the press would have got a sniff if we had been sold by now?

[DB]

Alan Brazil said this??? Ah OK then.

[Jimbo]

So Alan Brazil knows, does he? Everything that has happened thus far points to a sale, or at least the club being put up for sale. If he's right, and the club isn't for sale, you really have to scratch your head and wonder what the fuck has been going on.

[ozzjim]

And so it begins.... People have got way too carried away.

There will be loads of rumours but I would not trust Alan Brazil

There hasn't been really any evidence of a sale at any point. Indication that Lerner wants to sell, yes, but having a buyer, no.

[ROBBO]

Surely the info will be out as soon as the staff meeting is over, why would they call a staff meeting to say nothings changed?

[kippaxvilla2]

Be surprised if there's an announcement an hour after the World Cup squad is announced unless it really is no sale.

How do we know there has been a staff meeting?

The only place I have read that is on VillaTalk where the guy openly admits that a friend's wife's friend is married to the kitman.
