The Takeover Thread - Recon Group - NOW WITH NEW POLL

[Villafirst]

There's over 200 people on here who've voted against Xia in the poll? I relieved Lerner is finally out of it! Good riddance to him and the General!

Almost exactly the same percentage as the 'Stay' or 'Leave' vote.

I've just watched the video with Dr Xia and RDM and they both looked quite proud when they were on the Villa Park turf.

Yep, good luck, it would be great to make Villa Park a ground feared by all...well except our own players.

Where is that video ?

[PaulWinch again]

Good luck Dr Tony do right by the club please.

Not quite. It's 200 who are not positive which is not quite the same as against. After all the years we've had I think most people are feeling a bit nervous about our future.

We're a miserable bunch

Lets just enjoy it for now, were free of Randy

It is hardly surprising of people are apprehensive.

This isn't a new landlord taking over at your local, this is important.

It is also possible to be free of Randy and much worse off, believe it or not.

Of course. I agree. Just trying to be positive. I only hope the league have been thorough

What does this Samuelson guy actually bring to a football club? It's controversy at every club he has been involved in. Is he  just an advisor who's now sitting on the board because I think Xia and Samuelson know nothing about the game. Bernstein and King still being here would of erased some of my doubt so I'll sit on the fence, be a sceptic and wait and see.

I am not nervous about the future.  When you have lived through having Lerner as owner and Eric Black as manager it somehow toughens you up.  Like soaking a conker in vinegar.

[PaulWinch again]

I'd like to see some football knowledge on the board. That was always a massive failing of Lerner. You don't need absolute fortunes, if we get back up quick the amount of money in the Premier League balances things out, what you need is good decision making.

Yes, Patrick, and your thinly veiled digs at him in all that time bored the arse off of everyone.

Maybe he's just pointing out that the new owner likes to communicate. It wasn't just Murphy who was pissed off at that. It affected all of us a lot more.

I may have missed it in thread, so apologies if I'm repeating old news, but the fact Sir Brian has stepped down as Jersey manager today bodes well for the club.

If he's staying with us, it must mean he is happy with developments, but it will also be like having a guardian angel watching over the new regime.
