Hi all first time post, life long villa fan forever :)I too find myself trawling the net for any kind of rumours over potential takeover but I've realised 1 thing tonight does it matter really, BEN will go once liverpool sell sterling i think and i'm glad he will go TBH as don't want a gone off belgium waffle to start season off, too long has BEN and agent held villa at ransome so thx for saving our a** last few seasons "goodluck". Although i was a bit angry over Delph you can see what he has done, he could of left for nothing but signed new contract at least we'll get 10 mil, Vlaar i would rip up contract offer be on your way "move to a bigger club" thanks but no thanks i don't hear of any intrest yet but see ya, If no take over as long as lerner puts the 42.5mil back into the club we can buy at least 5/6 quality players. I like the players we are being linked with and seems TS looks like he is really trying to get some great potential players.If there is a takeover imminent i would be well happy but if not its not so bad like i said if Lerner does not pocket the money. Thx :)

There is NO-ONE in exclusivity! it was rumoured there were 3 bids.
1. HH and Ian Taylor with Chinese backing
2. Very rich mystery US buyer
3. Paul Smith consortium.
Paul Smith lot can only raise half the asking price and plan on putting the rest as loans against the club, so we can rule them out.
The mystery US bidder I think is a con by Lerner and Fox to get the real bid get a move on. The reason no one knows who they are is because maybe they don't exist.
That leaves HH and the China Equity Group, this bid has hit a major stumbling block with the Chinese government red tape. its looking like another season with Lerner in charge.

it was well publicised that exclusivity was granted around June 8th. I am sure if that group were no longer interested then Randy would want it in the public domain so that other interested parties would be aware. remember he doesn't want to go into this season as owner so why would he lie ? until they announce something or the 6 weeks is up we are just a bunch of mushrooms.

Bunch of mushrooms! Funniest saying I've heard in a long time, brynner I do agree!

Now you really are chatting rubbish, the club will be sold but it's not like buying a pack of smokes from your local shop, things can get complicated and so take time. Your story is complete rubbish and truth is you know nothing about the buyout.

Agree4 Disagree0

09 Jul 2015 20:07:04
I agree with the joker it's pure noncence he ain't got a clue just guess work

Agree4 Disagree0

09 Jul 2015 21:58:00
The club will be sold randy sold is house in Kingsbury and also they sign agreement not to name buyer so we can all keep guessing but nobody knows who the buyer is until it I finalised by randy so it all bullshit Gordon groves you no fuck all mate like the rest of us

Agree2 Disagree0

08 Jul 2015 19:48:11
Just got back from work an checked all villa sites no meeting wot aload of crap i do think it will happen but just wish rlerner would come out an tell us who the buyer is an stop making it a secret that be best iam getting impatient because its 30 days til season starts an are teams going to b a shambles no big ben or delph or vlaar an yet again no quality replacements wot a joke villa are getting left behind because of all this another dogfight on the horizon oh well could be worse we all could be crappy blue noses the takeover could happen to late that's my thoughts anyone agree

Believable1 Unbelievable3

08 Jul 2015 19:59:57
It's a joke we should kno by now atleast who is going to buy us so we can get money an start buyin decent players agen not these shit ones from championship sides or is the takeover just all paper talk

Agree1 Disagree1

08 Jul 2015 20:00:57
None of the players mentioned have gone yet mate let's just be patient and trust Timmy boy

Agree1 Disagree0

08 Jul 2015 20:19:10
Did you really expect that after today's supposed meeting there would be a national press conference called with the worlds media there to give us the details straight away. Be patient, it may take until tomorrow until anything is released. And none of the players you mentioned are gone yet. Stop being so depressing for the sake of it. How many massive signings have other bottom half premier league teams made so far? I can't recall any. I think us getting Richards is the best of the summer so far.

Agree4 Disagree1

08 Jul 2015 20:27:20
I agree, I've had enough reading posts based solely on individuals guess work, I don't think any of them actually know anything that is fact about the takeover same too with Benteke it's just all becoming a bit boring now. Wake me u with some proper news and not until Zzzzzzz Zzzzzzzz Zzzzzzz

Agree2 Disagree0

08 Jul 2015 20:33:24
It was a staff meeting no one said it had anything to do with the takeover it was only mentioned because it was out of the ordinary. If they wanted everyone to know what went on it would have being a announcement not a meeting

Agree2 Disagree0

08 Jul 2015 20:35:06
You can't get disappointed because some of the nonsense written on here proves to be exactly that; nonsense.
You are setting yourself up for a fall if you take anything you read on here with anything other than a large pinch of salt.
Unless I say it of course; then it's bound to be kosher!

A tabloid paper has claimed it was Tom fox giving everyone a rallying cry for the season a head

Agree1 Disagree0

08 Jul 2015 21:05:15
Agreed Mendax, but you would expect your own fans to be a bit more truthful with their posts or at least state that it is based on a guess. Some of the people on here should change their display names to something more fitting like "Coco The Clown" At least I call myself Joker.

Agree2 Disagree1

08 Jul 2015 21:42:38
Can't argue with that Joker
I know it's called a Rumour site but you would hope people would not use that title as a basis for basically just making stuff up
Not holding my breath though.

Agree1 Disagree1

09 Jul 2015 09:22:09
Hmm - If you were going to hold a rallying cry to get staff up for the season ahead, wouldn't you do it a little closer to the start of the season, Maybe the week before rather than 4 weeks before?

However, I can't believe any meeting would have been about the takeover because they would have to inform the press at the same time or immediately afterwards to ensure the 'right' message was published.

It was probably something else like "How do we maximise season ticket sales in the current climate of uncertainty?", or "Have we got the right number of support staff in place for a club of this size?"

Agree1 Disagree1

08 Jul 2015 19:16:09
Not sure if old news but just heard Given could be off to Stoke City, mmm now why would they need keeper cover??? May be some one coming our way as part exchange??

Believable1 Unbelievable1

08 Jul 2015 19:27:39
We cancelled Given's contract so no

Agree2 Disagree0

08 Jul 2015 19:28:37
Givens been released he's free to go wherever

Agree2 Disagree0

08 Jul 2015 19:31:12
Na he's off to Chelsea, happy to sit in the bench rather that play regularly with us

Agree1 Disagree0

08 Jul 2015 20:17:52
Need to keep up lol

Agree1 Disagree0

08 Jul 2015 14:57:49
Hi guys new to this site, great banter and rumours.

Just ashes fever

08 Jul 2015 17:24:23
Another load of crap there is no meeting no takeover happening benteke to be sold an Delph randy Lerner to keep the money an sign free players c we will be playing Birmingham again soon

Agree3 Disagree3

08 Jul 2015 18:01:48
Crokey1991 however much i hate disagreeing with people but has mr lerner said that him self?nope stop being so negative and hope for the bet

Agree3 Disagree0

08 Jul 2015 18:27:31
so there going to have a meeting then announce the take over straight after don't think so .

Agree2 Disagree0

08 Jul 2015 18:34:41
Randy IS selling (as it has been stated everywhere) the meeting today if there is one could be about anything,just have to sit tight and wait for any news on the sale of the club.we are all in the same boat, wishing for a multi billionaire to buy us.fingers crossed!

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Jul 2015 18:35:22
Something must be happening we aren't just signing free agents we are bidding 9 mills here and there for good players. I also am frustrated at a lack of information at the moment but bottom line is will it stop you from supporting this wonderful club if we didn't get taken over?? I know it wouldn't stop me. Sherwood is already changing mentalities in the dressing room. Getting rid of dead weight and expensive wages. No matter what the outcome I see us improving next season and that will be good enough for me as a start.

Agree3 Disagree0

08 Jul 2015 18:05:35
Being negative is one thing but don't post if your going to talk b******s.

Agree1 Disagree1

08 Jul 2015 20:00:00
Something must be happening or in the near future because I don't think Wilkins would of come on board unless something positive was about to happen, why would he join a club destined for relegation and spoil his own reputation.

Agree0 Disagree1

08 Jul 2015 20:20:34
Very frustrating and surely with 30 days left there must be some news soon. As a villan since 1970's am used to waiting game shouldn't expect any less!

Agree1 Disagree0

08 Jul 2015 10:26:09
Rumours a new chairman will be appointed soon. In this case a takeover must be way off

Believable1 Unbelievable5

08 Jul 2015 11:41:37
If that's the case m8 takeover would be off and randy will be staying.

Agree2 Disagree2

08 Jul 2015 14:33:41
Maybe a new owner wants his man in place before the takeover is signed, sealed, and delivered? Either way an appointment would let us know if there is a take over or not.

Agree0 Disagree1

08 Jul 2015 01:27:03
Well It's Wednesday and supposingly the day of the meeting, I have not read anywhere else other than on this site about a meeting but I hope that there is one and that news of the takeover is finally revealed so we at least all have an idea on where the club is going, I have read so many rumours of late that it will just be a relief to know the truth. So here's hoping for good day for the club and all Villa fans alike, may we get the news that we are all hoping for and may glory days return to Villa Park. :-)

I've just red a post on the meeting. But am in your boat mate this is the only site. people are saying its a takeover. I pray people are right an not just chatting s****te.

Hi All
I'm new to posting on here but have been actively watching for a while.
I am very dubious about posting as I don't like getting things wrong but I have some information that might be interesting to you all.
I have a friend that works as a technician at Villa Park and I spoke to him yesterday afternoon.
He did not confirm to me about a meeting taking place, avoided to answer when I spoke to him but he did tell me it is mayhem at Villa Park at the moment as everyone has been told to make the place spotless, as if royalty was coming!
Make of that what you will but I am hoping something soon will happen regarding the takeover.
Looking at the fact Vlaar has still not made a decision on his contract offer and not signed for anyone else as a free agent, £9m being spent on 1 player before the sale of Benteke I honestly believe a takeover is imminent.

Agree1 Disagree1

08 Jul 2015 15:05:47
All very quiet. What time is this meeting happening? Everyone heard anything yet???

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Jul 2015 18:36:15
Hi all, our accountant used to work at villa park as an accountant and says one deal fell through and don't think it will happen for quite a while according to friends he knew there
