The Takeover Thread - Recon Group - NOW WITH NEW POLL

[AV82EC]

I repeat my comment from earlier it's Charlie fucking Sale of the Daily Heil. Bullshit merchant of the highest order.

"A representative for Tony Xia tells CNN reports his takeover has fallen through are 'absolute nonsense.' Expects FL/PL response in 10 days+."

I would take the BEEB's (Murphy's) word over the Mail's anyday.

I'm no huge fan of Pat Murphy because of how he has reported on us over the years but in terms of credibility and accuracy he's very reliable. And if suggests the deal has fallen through then it might well time to get concerned. Not when Charlie Sale suggests it. And certainly not coming out of Ray Wilkins' useless fat gob.

Ray also said this morning on Talksport, that if Tim Sherwood, bless his soul (not kidding), had been able to pick his players, Villa would not have been relegated. (More Richards/Lescots would have done us a world of good). Clown

It certainly would be remarkable if the ex-regional chairman of a firm of auditors with extensive experience working in the far east had the wool pulled over his eyes on this one.

The same firm that has been signing off FIFA's accounts for over a decade...

Hahaha. Yeah, I guess it depends who the client is ... Arthur Anderson were once quite big too.

What has Murphy said then?

Nothing definitely attributable to him. It was a BBC 5Live report saying that the BBC understands that the deal is still on course. When it comes to us 'the BBC understands' usually means Pat Murphy understands.

@garyavfchorton @Robbb182 @ @AVFCOfficial Believe RDM is next m'gr & don't see the delay in PL/FL sanctioning sale as worrying

That was a couple of days ago

So we have another 10 days+ to keep this thread going. Perhaps Randy will make another statement to cheer us all up!

Providing we've got a manager in place I couldn't care less if it's another 10 days.

And Pat Murphy speaks:

"Aston Villa: Dr Tony Xia's takeover of Midlands club not in doubt!"

I have been trying to keep quiet but am getting thoroughly pissed off by the race to the bottom on this thread. "Who can be most pessimistic?", "who is the angriest?", "who can do the most made up and miserable post,".

It's been shit for a few years. I get that. But fucking hell some people are piss the bed drama queens.

Piss the bed drama queens is a great phrase!

[not3bad]

The latest from the Meaning Evil, basically also saying the rumours that the sale has fallen through are nonsense.

And the other thing is if Pat Murphy has come out so definitively on this, then he is starting to get access to the club and key information again. Or more should we say which was it appeared one of his biggest gripes with Lerner.
