The Takeover Thread - Recon Group - NOW WITH NEW POLL

[The Laughing Policeman]

Perhaps the club will provide further information as the day progresses.

I can't see the club saying anything officially until the deal is completed. Unless of course the buyer agrees to it.

[Jimbo]

We have no idea who he is. He could be the richest bloke in China, or a chancer.

What we do know is Randy is going to have to take a massive price cut to shift us, as predicted. He might have got more if he'd dropped the asking price a year ago, while we were still a Premier League team. The dolt.

I think, to be fair to lerner, that he will be doing a lot of homework on the potential owner and making sure that he isn't a Carson Yeung Mark 2. I hope so, anyway.

Fortunate that Randy has such a good track record in choosing people for key positions then.

Interesting to note ( from the BBC article ) ,that " Wyness has been seen at Villa Park on match days recently and has started to follow Villa-related social media accounts " .Hopefully he has noted the ´vox populi ´on this particular site , does not want Pulis with 50 miles of Villa Park......Godzvilla!

[Ron Manager]

60mil is within the range of a few prospective buyers. I really hope Lerner has studied this bloke's financial background with a fine tooth comb.

No money.

If what Pat Murphy says is true, I think it's only fair that we wait and see who this bloke is and what he's worth before we start suggesting that he's got no money.

[peter w]

He'll also be aware the if we're top after 5-10 games under Pulis we'll be singing his name.

[The Laughing Policeman]

Good morning Keith, I hope you've noticed that 99% of Villa fans don't like Pulis at all.

We worry if it is a consortium, we worry it is one bloke with not enough money.

[Clampy]

Where has this 'No money' guff appeared from? I may have missed it but I don't recall Murphy saying we're being bought by a homeless chinaman.

It's crazy isn't it that people are suggesting that when they have absolutely no idea who he is.

[DaveD]

It's also important whether its a cash sale or a leveraged buyout that puts all the loans on the club.

I reckon Lerner would be happy just to get shot of us and couldn't give a shit who the new owner is as long as his cash is on the table.

Likely they're the sort of people who see us winning 5-0 and tell their mates we're going to lose 5-6.
