The Takeover Thread - Recon Group - NOW WITH NEW POLL

[Ian.]

10th of May, I was told quite bluntly, that the club would be sold and that a new manager would be in place before the 31st May, regardless of sell off, as this was some sort of contingency plan.
Can someone tell me, now that it's May 31st,
Who the manager is going to be???
What the contingency plan was/is??
Which year the May 31st was supposed to be?

Also, can someone tell me when the club has to notify the FA/League of its retained players list?

Ask your contact?

What contact?
The posters who told me that it deffo was gonna be all done and dusted, were Clampy, Villa in Denmark and Gordoncowansisthegreatest.

See the Brian Little speaks thread.

All very unreliable, especially Clampy.

Fancy believing that shower.

Take it from me, my skills in the art of foresight are second to none. The new owner and manager will be announced in June.

Thank God for that!   Hang on though...which year?

Oh that would be telling, I can't reveal everything. I would need my palm crossing with silver first.

I'm a bad bad man.

What!  the Lone Rangers horse? You must have big hands.

[Ian.]

Massive.

When will your lies stop Clampy? When? The lies! LIES!!!

Hang your head in shame.

[Richard E]

Massive.

As massive as jungle?

A journo named Charles Sale in the Daily mail.co.uk  reports....

 
All the signs point to the Premier League and Football League turning down Aston Villa’s £60million takeover by Dr Tony Xia’s Chinese consortium, on the grounds that they haven’t the funds to do so.

Well-placed sources claim that American Randy Lerner, who is trying to offload the club at a knockdown price, has already been told that Xia will not pass the necessary financial tests

There's a story on the Daily Mail site about Xia failing the fit and proper person test. It's only a few lines but it's still worrying.

I guess we'll know soon enough. I'm assuming Di Matteo wouldn't take the job if there's no certainty of who he'll be working for, so either The Heil or The Scum are wrong.

It may be RDM has been told he's the man whether it goes through or not.

If it turns out to be true that he's been blocked as the buyer then that's a good thing. If there's any doubt about his financial bona fides, I'd rather find out now than when we're emulating Portsmouth as a result of it.
