New CEO in the offing.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/aston-villa/11044183/Arsenals-Tom-Fox-close-to-being-appointed-Aston-Villa-chief-executive.html

While he looks a good choice the obvious question must be - why would he move to a club that's up for sale?

Can someone nip over to TBAR and answer this for us?

I suspect it means there is nothing doing on that front in the foreseeable future. This bloke looks useful, mind.

Well, we've narrowed it down to this being a sign that a takeover is either imminent or miles off, and that's good enough for me.

I was over on TBAR about half an hour or so ago reading the takeover thread.  There were 74 pages at that stage, the latest discussing who they would like as CEO, manager and speculating who the new owner is likely to be.  Suddenly, the last seven pages disappeared, would this coincide with the timing of the Telegraph article?  None of them had Tom Fox as an option.

The key criteria was that he knows nothing about football.
