Does any know when he will get the all clear to become the "official" Aston Villa owner?

Surely it cannot be too much longer to wait

Won't happen until at least next week, the football league need to pass him and they won't do it until we're officially relegated on Tuesday.  However the Premier League checks might come back sooner and once they clear him it will just be a box ticking exercise for the football league.

Well we wait, I wonder what's in this deal for the doc, it's looking like the section of last season ,when we really hoped we could turn it around. I really hate to be negative, but I'm a brummie, it comes with the turf. The recent Forbes article comparing this sale to the one atAC Milan really makes you think.
That Forbes article was a pretty appalling space filler..a side were once bought and it went tits up, that could happen to Villa...that was about it. For all the facts it had in it (none) it could equally have said, Villa could be the next Man City if bought....

In all fairness I don't think it was meant to be investigative journalism, rather an opinion piece.

Like an opinion a bloke in the pub has.
Opinions are like a***holes, everybody has one.
Move on, nothing to see here.

Apparently he worked at MIT as a cleaner and solved mathematical equations left on blackboards.

Brilliant
