The Takeover Thread - Recon Group - NOW WITH NEW POLL

[Chris Jameson]

Has anybody ever seen 'LondonBoy' and 'Admin' in the same room?

They both seemed so convincing. I'm heartbroken.

[ozzjim]

Was there any more info on those two planes that trees spotted a week or so ago and everyone was getting excited about ?

Someone was trying to convince me on here that one belonged to the new owners and the other the lawyers, to good a coincidence not to be true that they were both there at the same time

I remained unconvinced

One left after three days, the one belonging to the law firm left at 7.50 this morning.

Does that make it more, or less interesting a rumour? Was this the Rich fella called Rob Jnr? That said he would never buy a premier league club?

I have just had to google this bloke on the basis that I could barely have thought this sounded more made up if his middle initial was D.

Interview at the bottom. I don't see it being this guy unless he is fronting a few rich blokes all putting in to have the club.

I don't know enough about this, but desperate for info. I have been tracking this flight and according to flight aware it's still at BHX

edit. Just checked again. That link for BHX movements show it's scheduled to leave Monday at 7:50am

But why would any potential buyer fly to Brum complete with his lawyers when the bloke selling is in New York?
It don't make sense.

It don't make sense.

If the lawyers are doing the due dilligence, then I'd expect them to be in Bham, because I'd guess all the books etc. they have to check concerning Aston Villa are in B6 or VP. I'm not saying it's certainly Rich and his possible consortium, but he said it couple years ago that he's not interested in PL...it is possible that he has changed his mind since then.

I don't get it why people in here are so adamant that there's no deal in place or being done, god, Villa fans are even more miserable pessimistic basta...geezers than we finns are, and that really takes some doing .

If they're looking at the books I would expect them to be wherever their offices are, with the books in electronic form in front of them.

Exactly. This notion that anything would be done at B6 is very old world. Buying a business accountants and solicitors work from their offices with the electronic details.

Unable to colour code as yet as I'm suffering from insomnia tonight and can't contact two sources to confirm I've just made this bollocks up.
