Aston Villa Rumours Archive January 09 2014

A few days ago I posted the rumour about AVFC being readied for a sale, well a follow up to that is apparently the RedBull offer was 180 million and not 150 million like first thought and and the asking price is nearer to 225 million not 250 million.
Randy is apparently here for a few weeks so I make that two apparentlys which could mean a change of ownership soon or nothing at all.
I think if Lambert is not given any money this window then it's pretty clear Randys not too keen on the Villa anymore. Oh and those saying we will buy on the last day of the window remember Lambert likes to get them in early.

Where are you getting this from?. I'm not sure if all the IF'S came in what sort of stature Red Bull would want the club to be heading for, making profit? European places? Title contenders? Either way a change at the top would seem to suit the fans, it's so frustrating seeing players available or looking for loan moves and our name not being linked with them, Ince, Zaha etc
UTV

Most of its from twitter and other social media. the bit about the stocks movement was from a trader again he tweeted this last week and which has since been confirmed on certain Villa forums.
the Redbull connection was from their press about buying an English team to invest in which could compete (advertise Redbull) in the champions league. lazy London media automatically presuming it will be a London club, and the current champions league teams are far too expensive.
the rest is my own research into potential buyers and sellers and common connection I. e. gerrard houlier connecton. nothing is from reliable sources as our chairman is very quite.

Yeh to be honest if welcome that (reputable company doing well in other sports) over a cut-throat businessman looking for a toy, my friend is an avid Leeds fan, he's been talking a lot about red bull buying them out, and apparently they needed to own the stadium for it to go through, new guy has bought a bigger stake to own stadium so they might be going for them, I'd assume it's cheaper, although I suppose we can be classed as a sleeping giant? More attractive to take-overs I presume. Come on lescott sign already haha

The leeds option was looked at last summer but they were too high risk as its champions league that's the target and this was felt is too far off i. e. signing new players to get to the premier league then adding new players to progress further whilst still balancing the last lot. with villa a big name manager and high wages would achieve the same much sooner i. e. Man city. add to this the training facilities are top knotch, then Randy has converted 90 mill debt into shares which balances the books.

I don't believe anything regarding this redbull takeover bid

Sleeping Giant? ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Blimey, I know we are great, but let's not play fantasy football eh?

Tom Ince, Paul Ince and Paul Faulkner spotted at a restaurant in birmingham last night.

No that was someone who just looked Faulkner, not the real one.

The guy was Swansea's Player Liaison Officer Huw Lake.

Not going to happen, too much hype around him to him to come to us

The restaurant was mcdonalds

Interesting post. Also read elsewhere that they were seen in a McDonalds somewhere in Wales, near Swansea.
Wonder where they actually were?

Anyone heard of nakhi wells?
the bradford player who scored agains us?
Dont want it to be true!
not the player I want or need!

Think it was a service station mate

What you mean Nahki Wells who scored against villa in the league cup semi last year!

What you mean the Nakhi Wells that's just signed for huddersfield?!
