Statement just released.On behalf of Aston Villa Football Club, I would like to offer my sincere condolences to the family and friends of David Bowie following his tragic passing earlier today. I just wanted to place on record my appreciation for the joy he bought to myself personally, the shunamites with whom I now dwell and his global army of fans.In keeping with the great values and traditions of this great sports franchise, a minutes applause will be held before tomorrow's game at home to Crystal Pallisades.In the meantime I would ask all supporters to get behind the players and manager Remi from whom I have had unstinting support as we look to battle to reach 19th place and have a chance of staying in the Premier League. Up the Villa.
Is the timescale for the statement the same as the new Chairman's announcement?
