The deal is done, the manager is chosen and you will get your announcement after the season is completed. A new beginning is about to be born with enthusiastic owners with ambitions, with the funds to back up those ambitions and a new manager to take us forward. But remember that success does not come over night and a fresh new squad will need to be assembled and this will all take time but rest assured Villa will be returning to the glory days that many of our younger fans would not yet of seen. Gone are the days of an instant squad the likes that Man City and Chelsea benefited from so our rise will be more gradual so we must show patience with both team and manager and remember that even Fergie was not an instant success so let's give our great club our full support as always during this period of transition. :-)

so you have been told new owners are done and will all be announced along with manager soon? is this fact or your hunch. ?
03 May 2016 09:01:36
'Kingvilla' what sort of question is that? U have been telling us for weeks now that the takeover is done and for weeks you haven't been able to show us any proof to back up your claims. Personally I do believe that a deal is done or is almost done. Waiting till the end of the season also sounds like the rite thing to do in my opinion but it needs to happen literally straight away cus this squad needs sorting out at the earliest opportunity. UTV

More unfounded rumours. Anyone could come on here and say a deal is done. No evidence whatsoever not even a sniff.
03 May 2016 09:44:43
I do believe the deal is done and have been told this by someone I trust close to villa. I was just asking where his info is from or if it was just his opinion. we will definitely be under new ownership very soon.
03 May 2016 15:57:36
I'll have what he's having!
03 May 2016 17:42:17
When the press publish a story what actual evidence do they produce, neither Aston Villa nor the new owners are hardly going to post me a copy of the takeover and managerial contracts are they. So all I can tell you is that my information is sufficient to convince me of it's authenticity, nothing is every 100% until it actually happens but I have been convinced that it is as close to 100% as it can be without being announced based on the information that I have received from an undisclosed source, you are all welcome to your own opinions concerning the matter that is indeed your prerogative and you are quite welcome to throw it on the back-burner if you so wish but I can tell you that I myself have no doubts your opinions are your own choice.
03 May 2016 18:13:19
I've been told it's already done by my source. will not be announced until after last game of season but the manager ie Pearson is already in place and working on what he needs for next season. I am certain we will be happy fans very soon and on the up.
03 May 2016 18:20:04
I to can confirm that my opinion is indeed my choice. Thank you
03 May 2016 18:29:08
Yankee villa fan do you know who has brought us or do you just know of the takeover? Anyone with ambition and deep pockets I'm hoping for. hopefully Larry Ellison or the villa fans?
03 May 2016 18:59:16
Glad you managed to clear that up Flakie.
03 May 2016 19:10:02
Haha I can confirm that we have been relegated and that Randy Lerner is still the owner. I have this from a source which I can't disclose but is 100% reliable. Kingvilla you are hilarious, earlier you were obviously desperately asking Yankee Villa Fan if he had any information. Why? Because you don't have a clue!
03 May 2016 19:33:27
I apologise if I have offended you Flakie by taking some of your limelight but you really must understand that although you frequent this site more often than most it does not mean that the site belongs to you and that input from other users is also important and of interest to many others. I have absolutely no doubt that there are many users who find your posts unbelievable and your attitude obnoxious but yet you still remain a useful character for the site to have if only for amusement purposes however others must also be given the chance to post too. Enough said my point as been made so I won’t be replying to any future posts from you in regard to this post but feel free to voice your opinion, I’m sure you will if only to grab back some lost limelight.
03 May 2016 20:02:06
I don't believe for a minute that any deal is currently in place. Either for owner or manager. If the likes of bayern Munich, Manchester City and pep guardiola can name their futures 6 months in advance I don't think for one minute the likes of villa, Pearson and any new owner would see any benefit in not announcing a deal until the end of the season . Can anybody tell me a benefit of waiting? Or is it just that it suits 'rumours' better for now?
03 May 2016 20:21:08
Thank you Yankee villa fan, I am touched
03 May 2016 20:30:05
I'm putting my opinions on the back burner for now because that is what I am choosing to do. Forgive my scepticism all but how can people who could not run a bath for the last 5 seasons pluck a billionaire owner ready to pledge his/ their allegiance to our club. All of this since Bernstein and King stood down. More than a little smoke and mirrors from Randy Pandy in my opinion oops no they're on the back burner.
03 May 2016 20:37:26
I can't get my head around Villa laying off up to 500 staff or closing The North Stand if a takeover is imminent? Surely that would be up to a new owner? I'd say with few exceptions that our away end is going to be filled because it's a day out for the smaller teams fans, more than a few Midlands derbies, lots of people to serve food to, steward, etc. Don't think our support is going to drop that much, probs have the biggest attendances for the division if the Barcodes don't go down? The people who've been linked to us could buy us with their loose change so why haven't they done it by now? More questions than answers. Hope some of you fellas get to say 'I told you so' though

It's all speculation why don't we wait until it's official everybody talks about these new investors but surely we want a club that is built around passion and desire like our East Midlands rivals have just done, not buying the premier League
04 May 2016 05:18:33
yes but I'd also take buying the league as that's how it works mostly these days .
04 May 2016 09:15:12
ITS all very quiet, when we see the white smoke from the chimneys in Aston, then we will know, we have a new Pope.
04 May 2016 12:37:03
Or that Lerner has set fire to the place.
05 May 2016 10:40:47
Lerner would never do that!
He would.
1) have to be in brum
2) spent money on buying matches! (One thing we can be sure of, this season proves, if nothing else, he doesn't buy matches)
