Meeting in the Holte Suite at 4pm Wednesday apparently - 1 hour meeting with refreshments afterwards.

NOBODY SAID THERE WERE GOING TO BE "REFRESHMENTS"!!!

that's a clue surely. Refreshed ownership. Must be Randy's plan B then. there's no other explanation.

Has our tame plane spotter seen any rather large private jets landing at BHX?

So all we need to do is keep an eye out for the catering delivery and the clues will be easy to unpick:

Dim sum: rich Chinese owners
Halal pork: rich Arab owners
Mini burgers and pork sliders: rich American owners
Past their sell by date nibbles from the Aston Lane Tesco: Doug's back

Wouldn't most companies have a meeting like this once in a while?

I would advise against inviting any practising muslims around yours for dinner.

Is this Pork ?

Yeah don't worry about it though, it's Halal, so it is all good!

I would think so. The reason I've been trying to establish if there is a meeting or not is because somebody told me there is a press conference and an announcement, but I couldn't get a straight answer out of anybody on here.

It's Ramadan right now anyway. They ain't eating so there would be loads of literally everything on the menu for everyone else! The Arab owners will have to make do with digesting their sacrifice until the sun goes down.

The rich Arabs would be too busy doing coke off western hookers, while quaffing some vintage whiskey to be bothered about nibbles and haram pork.

Is there a "post your racist and other generally offensive comments" thread on the site? Perhaps it's just me but it's getting tedious now. We may be about to get new owners, they might come from the middle or far east. Do we really need to trot out every 1970s racial stereotype?

Agtreed. It's a bit monotonous.

It's plain stupid and spoils the thread. We are Villa fans, whoever takes over, we support. Cut the racism please fellow Villans. We are better than that.
