The Takeover Thread - Recon Group - NOW WITH NEW POLL

[Virgil Caine]

I know someone who told me tonight that the sale is done and there will be an announcement on August 1st. He's high up in what I think is called Aon insurance or something which have a sponsorship deal with the club and this is what he's heard.

Make of that what you will; could be bollocks, could be legit.

That's my birthday that is and, to continue the Twilight Zone type ambiance I will be 57 , born in 1957 so takeover and FA Cup win this season for sure.

I'd love that to be true, and don't doubt it was passed on in good faith, but the thing that bothers me is .... why?

Why would anyone wait till August 1st?

I love the synchronicity of this, MLF.
Enjoy your birthday; didn't realise you were so old!

My standards set for Aston Villa are winning the Champions League. That is the least I expect for this club.

...and so...

If you're happy to accept this state of affairs & think things are going to get better soon then fine. Keep deluding yourselves & living in denial.

Delusion

Oh and well done for dodging the freedom of speech bit.

You should consider a career in politics.

Completely ignore other points of view, don't answer the question that's asked and if in any danger of getting caught out on a point, pretend it never happened.

Is that bitter you're drinking? As in Bitter pill. Enjoy.

Just testing to see if you are still awake.

Bullshit as this may be, it's atleast about a takeover. Ooo I'm getting all excited again.

Have these idiots gone yet??

Can you make your mind up what you think I'm drinking, first it was Carlsberg piss water, now it's bitter. 
If you check the real ale thread tomorrow I'll give you the full autopsy if you're really that interested what I'm currently drinking.

I notice you still haven't answered the freedom of speech question.  Still as a beneficiary of freedom of speech, it's also your right to say nothing.

And being as I'm a friendly, helpful sort, I've even sorted you quote fail out for you.

Just noticed on the other thread.
What a waste of electrons.

[Malandro]

I hope this is true for a reason. Has anyone else noticed how tired and run down the Villa Village looks ? Paint peeling away etc etc. Opened in the late 90,s I doubt if it has had a refurb since. I am given to understand the offices could do with updating as well.

The new owners need to improve matters for the Villa Admin staff as well as the supporters.
