I have been reading Villa are in delicate negotiations for a summer takeover.
Apparently talks have been ongoing since the turn of the year, and are at an advanced stage.
On reading into it maybe something is going to happen, the people concerned are being kept a very close secret for obvious reasons.
Fingers crossed hey lads,

The Info I have been reading is on newsnow the villa pages. from 13th and 14th of this month so below is the actual read I have copied and pasted, hope that helps.
I also read but can`t find it, something about one of the founders of Microsoft worth about 17 billiion, now that would be nice !!

Aston Villa are on course for a takeover this summer after it emerged Randy Lerner is in “delicate” negotiations with an interested party.
Lerner has been discussing a potential £150million sale since the start of the year and could end his association with the club at the end of this season.
The potential buyers have signed a non-disclosure agreement and are determined to keep their identity secret but are in advanced talks with Lerner and Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
Sources close to the deal insist nothing is imminent at this stage, with Villa’s Premier League future still hanging in the balance.
But the consortium will press ahead with plans to buy the former European Cup winners when the picture is clearer over which division Villa will be operating in next season.
Even if Villa suffer relegation to the Championship, the party would remain interested but Lerner’s asking price will be severely affected.
Lerner, who bought the club for £62.6million in 2006, put Villa up for sale in May but there has been no serious interest until the party made their initial approach in the New Year.

I've read that the Microsoft founder has ruled himself out. I've also heard rumours that Mark Cuban is taking over.

So have I, but that article above is on the Newsnow site and has raised a few eyebrows.

Report in national news paper that AVFC are interested in Brazilian playmaker Diego.

I'm sure he would love trips to Rotherham and Millwall

As with all Blues fans, Mike is more interested in what Villa are doing; tragic really. Worse still, not even funny
Anyway, back to adult conversation; is this the Diego that was at Werder Bremen ?
If it's the guy I was thinking of he was (I stress was) absolute quality

It was a joke Mendex so chillout will you, great win tonight by the way i want Villa to stay up because like my own club you don't belong in the Championship plus i always enjoy the Villa-Everton games. As for Diego i do believe it's the one who used to play for Werder Breman.

Have some courtesy Mike, and if you want to make jokes on a football site, make it one about your own club.
When you don't, it comes across as antagonism
