Tony Adams Fronted Takeover

[Tokyo Sexwhale]

It's an Arsenal plot to put the dampeners on us.

[KRS]

May be someone read the idea on H&V that it could be cheaper to buy the club than to cherry pick our best players, and took the idea a little bit too far! *facepalm*

If Tony Adams gets control of Villa I will personally burn Villa Park to the ground then hand myself in to the police.

I'll bring the matches and petrol, oh and a few sarnies if we get hungry while we watch it burn.

[PaulWinch again]

I'm sorry, but any consortium wanting Adams to be the front man can fuck right off.

[brian green]

They would be hard pressed to find a worse offer. It's not Chinese April Fool's Day is it?

[Brend'Watkins]

Tony Adams.  Tony Fucking Adams.  Just when you started to have positive thoughts about the club again you hear the name Tony Adams and Aston Villa in the same sentence. 

Please someone, make it go away.

[PaulWinch again]

I just can't believe that any sensible business person would want to be involved with Tony Adams.

[ciggiesnbeer]

I for one welcome our new o..

The fuck I do.

I like this bit.

The remainder of the funding for a takeover would probably be in the form of new debt

So "doing a Glazier" then. Fuck off, fuck right off. Randy, all is forgiven.

[in exile]

Please, someone make it stop

[caustic_hollow]

Tony Admas; it would be a dafabet.

[andyaston]

Asset strippers by the sounds of it. So a big fat NO FUCKING WAY!

[not3bad]

Tony fucking Adams? Well that's the most underwhelming thing I think I've ever heard. I'd rather still have Lerner and Tom Fox, thanks.

To me it's kind of overwhelming.

Overwhelmingly daft.

[not3bad]

Could be worse, I suppose.

Could be Russell Brand!

A consortium headed by Russell Brand and David Cameron will take over.  Aston Villa will henceforth be known as West Ham.  Same colours innit?

[Steve R]

Reminds me of the day Stan Stennett threw his hat in the ring just before the 1968 takeover.   Except this is worse.

Aston Villa linked to £150m take-over bid

Aston Villa are reportedly subject of a £150million take-over bid from investors led by former Chelsea business director Paul Smith.

PUBLISHED: May 7, 2015 8:05 am LAST UPDATED: May 7, 2015 3:56 pm

It's understood that ex-Arsenal player Tony Adams would be brought in to work on football matters, should the takeover be successful.

Smith is known to current Villa owner Randy Lerner, who put the club up for sale last May.

Lerner was at Villa’s Bodymoor Heath training ground today and spoke to manager Tim Sherwood, who claims he has heard nothing about any possible takeover deal.

Sherwood said: “I haven’t heard anything. I’m working for the football club not the individuals who are here.

“It’s one of the biggest football clubs in English football. I’m happy to be here and proud to be the manager.

“I had a chat with him (Lerner) today – he’s as worried as I am about the situation because we’re still not safe, but I’ve heard nothing about (about any developments)."
