Understand that the Middle East group have lodged a two-stage offer. First for majority control, then a potential takeover in the future. Up to Tony Xia now, it seems. #avfc

If that’s right and the stuff about Xia needing to keep some involvement because of debt to his backers, then this latest rumour seems to answer those problems, doesn’t it?

It will probably turn out to be true but then will most likely turn out to measured in Iranian Rial. 9Billion Iranian Rial = £158876, enough to pay Richards for 3 weeks or so.

[Toronto Villa]

Club renamed Al Aston Villa?

We always do this when there is anybody linked in buying us they have Billions we are going to be the next Man City but the truth is we end up in the shite so as for the next Mansour taking us over or whatever it is I will just watch this space of emptyness.

Its like England in the World Cup, we all knew it wouldn't happen but we all dreamt it would for a few weeks. Same with this.

Club renamed Al Aston Villa?

I've always referred to Villa Park as Mecca. When I say always I mean once or twice.

Even if this crowd were oil-rich with a bottomless pit of money and willing to splurge it all on a struggling football club, they wouldn't be able to. So it's a moot point.

What we really want, as others have said, is a consortium of very good business-people to come in and run the club in the vein of a - for example - Tottenham Hotspur.

They could "splurge" to their hearts content.  Take the punishment, and carry on.

That's great except the punishments now include points deductions, so how does that behaviour serve the club exactly?

Don’t be so bloody miserable. 😉
When we are winning the European cup again we won’t care about the punishments.
