Fans Worried Over Villa Future

[Drummond]

If Roy Keane signs for a different club then I am also sure that VFC will release a statement lambasting our club for failing to sign him.

Yeah of course they will.  Everything's brilliant now we've beaten Sunderland, isn't it Drummond?

Forgive me Risso, but VFC have issued some Press Releases before on the back of non-news so I figured it may happen again, particularly as we have heard nothing for a while.

No Risso, it isn't all brilliant either, but it's better than it was, surely even you can see that?

So where are we with the take over? I'm not sure that the hush at VP means anything in particular. I think the last statement that I read concerned the accountants looking throug what was on the table. Anything more since then? I'm trying to think back to other take overs but can't really recall if they were similar to ours. Is Doug just keeping it quiet and putting it on a back burner? I doubt that two businessmen like Comer would allow that to happen. They obviously trade on name and reputation as any business, and if they are successful in their line of work they are used to success whatever they do. So, they will not allow their name to be sullied by a 'rejection' from Villa for any reason. For the good of their reputation they would release a press statement condeming Doug. We haven't seen it, no-one involved as been in the press. Apparently, Stoke Exchange rules ensure this. So, it seems from my vantage point that everything is still ongoing. Can anyone comment?

Express and Star think it's looking less likely. The Mercury say it's still on course and will happen before christmas.

Yer pays yer money...

Just to add to the debate.

[Oscar Goldman]

Can anybody remember what it was that the fearful three were worried about?

[Red Robbo]

Falling for another kippax hoax?

[Oscar Goldman]

I thought it had something to do with Noddy Holder.

[Chris_Jephcott]

god, it's still going on.

[Drummond]

not until you posted it wasn't!

[JD]

Where's Laughing Gravity? Is he the guy that was arrested in Austria for denying that the holocaust actually happened? Is that why he hasn't posted?

Christ this is like a Boycott innings.

Has anybody heard whether Weller is in line for some sort of Brit award next year?

[Drummond]

Christ this is like a Boycott innings.

Will he bat right through and run out of partners?

[Karlos96]

No, they locals call it Parki starrrrn. I call it India. They don't like that.

As long as I've bot a bat in my hand, and a keyboard under my nose, this will just keep on ticking....unless the mods bowl me a wrong 'un. Or scuff up the thread whilst we're all looking elsewhere...Can someone PM Laughing Gravy and tell him that we're all missing him? Kind of the way he missed the holocaust I suppose? We're sorry for what we did or didn't do. Anything to get him back on. He was kind of fun. Do you know for those few pages I felt like a cat playing with a little mouse just before it intended to kill it.

I do wish people would stop bringing this thread back to the top of the board with gratuitous posts.
