Villa Takeover

[brentastonb6]

Well there’s lots out there about FFP , Tony going awol , the issuing of new share capital and Jack going to
anybody except us. What about who is likely to be putting in enough cash to take a majority stake in us ? If rumours are to be believed this could be for as little as £40m now we aren’t a premier league cash cow..
Not a bad sum for a club of our size,history and potential, especially with  plenty of young up and coming talent.
 Howard Hodgson was certainly interested in the past, has links both with board and the supporters through his work with the Supporters Trust  and he knows how to run a business .He might not be a billionaire but I think with FFP that isn’t what is required or ‘allowed ‘ now.
I’m hoping he alone or with a consortium is the one to take us on.

I think i'd rather go bust than have him anywhere near owning the club.

Howard Hodgson makes Ellis look humble. Howards I prefer include Jones, Keel and Stableford.

Why on earth would anyone with brains want to invest with him still having a controlling interest.  It has to be a straight sale.

[cdbearsfan]

He's got a boat, you know.

[PeterWithesShin]

He's got a boat, you know.

How do you know, he's never mentioned it.

[cdbearsfan]

He must have let it slip into conversation accidentally while standing next to the helicopter that David Gold doesn't like to talk about.

David Gold has a chopper?!? Snigger

[N'ZMAV]

David Gold is a chopper.

[adrenachrome]

He's a prick with ears.

Is this takeover thread going to be as long as the last one.
I really hope not. It’ll consist of:

Various consortiums of not fantastically wealthy vultures

Considerably richer than yow local businessman

American rich folks who own/part own other sport franchises

Fantastically rich businessman who’s not even remotely interested

Then we are purchased by someone who we’ve never heard of and can’t be googled.

Am I imagining it, or is HH in the funeral business? If so, he may be able to help out with the loan of a few props to add a bit of pathos to the protests against him.

I think that's HH senior.
