Mac, I did caveat my comments with "if it was true".


And this is what pisses me off by Mooney's coments.  Rather than answer my points he just ploughs on with complete and utter fucking rubbish.

The share price just keeps on falling.......


Which is indicative of what?


Well it could either be that any possible takeover is now very unlikely, or if there is a takeober bid, that it isn't going to be for as much as people thought.

Bearing in mind that Doug probably isn't going to sell for what he sees as a low price, I know which is the most likely.


As far as I'm aware the details of the takeover, if there is one, haven't been made public. So any trading, and I'm guessing it's small volumes as most of the available shares seem to have been snapped up, is still based on speculation.

I'm still sceptical about the whole thing but I wouldn't dismiss it just on the basis of the share price.

How much has it fallen?

Mooney said they'd been deleted, when they had not.  And they certainly hadn't been un-stickied to drop down the order.  In fact the reverse was true!

He was a man kind enough to share with his slow drift into madness. He was a long time poster who went away for a bit, presumably for some sort of therapy, then came back and stated telling us about the gay mafia who converted children, denying the holocaust and had some sort of obsession with Fatima Whitbread that I could never quite fathom.


Wow, i bet the VFC are really happy having such a nice individual argue their case.

Actually, they've been unstickied so that they fall back into the pack. Be a good boy and find them for us!


Dave seemed to think that they'd been deleted, Chris seemed to think they'd been unstickied, where was the "moved" note to say where they'd ended up?

I wasn't aware that they'd been moved.

I did lock the thread - delete the replies and make it an announcement.

And add 1 little change.  :smt002

From over a fiver a share a week or two ago, down to £4.27.  That's a pretty big drop, and it's getting steadily lower.  Not what you'd normally expect to happen prior to a takeover at all.

Just read the previous 10 pages to catch up!

LG is a bit of a wally! but he had a good point if it is true that the site rules were unstickied (is that a word), that was a bit of a PR cock-up!

My personal view is that VFC & ST are completely and utterly useless. Money runs football, and fans are inconsequential.

Ellis will not leave Villa because some obsessives, who should really be doing something more productive with their time keep shouting and stamping their feet. He has correctly stated put up the money or shup the F*ck up, and now it looks like someone may be about to do the former, and we will find out once and for all, whether this is a good thing or not for Aston Villa Football Club.


Well I for one disagree with your personal view.  For all their faults at least they've had a try.  They don't have the money that's required but they've used what skills they've had whether rightly or wrongly to put a message/their message across and some people do actually believe in some of what they have to say.  Maybe if they got more to believe and every supporter stumped up £500 as proposed by Hodgson at the first meeting things might have been different.  It's now moved on to a different level and a bit repetative and therefore loses it's impact.  If I were part of VFC (and I'm not) I wouldn't bother preaching on this site because even if it was a gem it would be ripped apart, dissected and pilloried for every minor discrepency and not just because of the content but because of the personalities involved.

Don't think so.  The shares don't look like they're being sold in enough quantities.

...I asked questions regarding VFC possibly having to change tactics as the current one wasn't working. I asked about campaign direction. I asked about a campaign coordinater. I asked whether VFC could see that they had lost support of many Villa fans who initially welcomed them because of a failure to address that maybe, just maybe, their current campaign had run its course. None of these- which are more related to the topic in question- received a reply.....


I think I answered those points, somewhere back about 30 pages ago. Admittedly, as is often the way on all kinds of threads, the answer may have got lost in all the, er, "non-related" postings.

Am I the only person who doesn't give a toss what Jon Fear is referred to as in the media?

My life more or less carries on as normal, regardless...


Can I join your clique please. And while we're in a confessional (bloody Mooney) I occasionally have a look at VillaTalk too. Like to see different views and (I can't believe I'm admitting this) sometimes agree with points made over there. Which is why I disagree with...

Because if you've evolved to a level where you can see beyond any personal, purile or irrelevant utterances, you are left with some good points, worthy questions and a wider view. Far better than sticking to people who tell you you're great all the time. There lies the path to head and back distortion.
