Who will buy us?

In an effort to look on the bright side of the latest debacle ( re the´ possible´ Takeover)  , I scoured  past news feeds and  this article from last August reveals that we  were almost taken over by a Swiss consortium ( owners of Herta Berlin ) , could it be they are back in again ?:...Godzvilla!

I wouldn't get your hopes up. I suspect it was said to lessen the blow of the resignations.

Karen Brady backed by O'Sullivan & Gold. Villa Park to get sold when Birmingham build a brand new stadium for the commonwealth games in 2022.

When you see West Ham in fifth and the way they managed to pick up a national stadium complete with security, transport and heated towel rails thrown in for peanuts, I would take that in a heartbeat.

Agree, but its a rip off. Brady and her tory mates have carved up a real good deal. For them

Couple of lines in the article are disappointing. "Seeking fresh funding to revive the bid" Does not sound like money is pouring out of their pockets and "Hertha Berlin" Not exactly a success story in Budesliga.

The way things are going, it will be a consortium of Carson Yeung, the Venkys and Vincent Tan!

2+2=5 I believe so with these resignations of Bernstein & King I gotta say it stinks of a Chinese takeover

[el león Benidorm]

I agree.

The high profile resignations are paving the way for a takeover.

I just hope it is someone that can...

A) run a successful business

B) make the correct director and managerial appointments

and C) get us back to where we belong in the shortest possible time.

He also needs an oil barrell full of disposable cash that he wants to put to the cause.

I really have to stop mixing my tablets with booze!

IF (and it's a very big IF) it's these Dalian Wanda lot then that will be very nice thank you, but I suspect it's people getting carried away with wishful thinking.

I posted this a week ago...maybe the author of the  article in question knew more than he was letting on ?.

What other takeover of any football club recently has seen high profile members of the board depart before the deal is complete?

[passport1]

 It makes no sense whatsoever.The takeover is a smokescreen or in Randys parlance baloney.

I agree, I think the wording of their resignation letters would be very different if it was due to an upcoming takeover.

[Villain1874]

Come on guys, it's a smoke screen, that's all it is....
We're in for a stormy ride and things are going to get worse not better...
We now know Letner is still control after yesterday's resignations and that means more bad decisions by the bucket loads...
