Tony Adams Fronted Takeover

[Marlon's Hairy Wood]

It'd be so Villa to get taken over after being kept up, and then the new regime sack Sherwood and get some turd in

Is this not just something to unsettle us before the final against Tony Adams favourite team....? Well it won't work!

That's the way I see it. It's pathetic and sad. They are running scared.

[Des Little]

Who in their right mind would choose Tony Adams to front a serious consortium? He's as mad as a March hare. Tell 'em bollocks Randy.

Tony Adams is the English equivalent of Roy Keane. Great players but completely unsuited to any managerial role. Both are absolute morons

[Billy Walker]

If I was working for a year on getting a Villa takeover put together I would be looking to get an ex-Villa player in to be its "face".  The fact that this ex-Chelsea spiv, Smith, thinks its a great idea to use Tony "F*cking" Adams to be his football link-man shows us everything we need to know about the depth and strength of this bid.  Like Ray Ranson ten years ago, this screams of a chancer trying to make a lot of money out of Aston Villa.

To release this news at this stage of the season is also incredibly mischievous.  Are they trying to unsettle the club, the staff and the supporters in order to get a cheaper deal? Hopefully this is all bullshit and genuine, legitimate blue-chip people are working with Tom Fox behind the scenes.

The more I read about this, the more uneasy I feel.  It could badly destabilize things just when it appears it was calming down again.

If TS keeps us up and wins the FA Cup I think it would be fair to say any new owner would become immediately very unpopular with the fans. I'd say his job is and should be very secure if he achieves either one of those.

...who would have thought it...another negatively spun story about the Villa written by yours truly.

Just seen this thread.

This HAS to be a joke right?  This HAS to be a joke.

The blokes a complete tool.

Suddenly Ol' Randy don't look so bad eh?

[Louzie0]

It's reflected in the election at the moment. Greed and opportunism rules. If you can, just buy anything on a promise and asset strip to your heart's content. Build for the future when you can get rich now? And, looking after the vulnerable? ' Well, nobody helped me'. No recognition of NHS, equal wages, controlled public rents, Local Authority schools and standards. Apparently, No contest.

Whoever gets the Villa can do whatever they like, if Randy sells. ''Twas ever thus.

He does know you can't pay in carrots?

Above all else I am shocked at the timing of this announcement- I would have thought Lerner would insist on rigid NDA's given the potential effect on Sherwood and subsequently the team. I cannot see any advantage in releasing it now, what value or gain comes from it?

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

I just think of this. Apologies if previously posted, I'm tired.

What is the announcement? Isn't it just yet more speculation at the moment?

[Virgil Caine]

Fair point WV but discussions ,if they have been held ,have been leaked to the press and I thought there has been time enough for Villa to issue a press statement denying or confirming talks.
