There appears to be a lot of speculation once again about the potential new owners of Aston Villa with many fans reading various stories and then joining the dots. let's just put things into perspective before we all jump on the bandwagon with media mania. Up until a few hours ago didn't every single newspaper have Nigel Pearson pencilled in as the new manager then suddenly out of the blue they are all now certain that it's to be Roberto Di Matteo who will now take the reins, this just emphasises just how little they actually do know and they all just keep feeding off each others guess work. The Birmingham Mail have just spent the last two days informing us about the life and times of David Freeman and what he might or might not bring to the club but after today's news they probably won't utter his name again. So here we are again, is it the Chinese, American or even the Swiss, the truth is I don't believe any of them have the slightest clue themselves so they react to the first piece of information that's pushed their way, Just imagine what would happen if someone happened to spot Bill Gates with Randy Lerner at some charity function, the papers would be full of it within hours. Anyway one things is for sure that being the club will very soon have new owners and a new manager but in the meantime be prepared for an hatfull of names to be thrown into the mix before the real truth is revealed.

Hi Yankee Villa fan I know you said your guy did not give you a name but just out of interest who do you believe will be the new owner my guy in China it's starting to convince me that it's maybe the Chinese group that I have mentioned but just thought I would say but I I thought it would be Larry Ellison all along.

To be perfectly honest with so many twists and turns I'm no longer sure myself, I will just be happy when its done and dusted like most fans. I will stick with an American take over but I won't be surprised if it's Chinese.

I wasn't given a name when I received my information but if it was to be an American who takes over my money would be on Larry Ellison too kingvilla, but that is purely a guess on my behalf and not related to anything that I have been told. As usual it appears to be turning into quite a saga but that is mainly because of the rubbish that the press are printing which does nothing but create confusion but I feel it is now nearing the end and hopefully real news should only be days away.

I agree with you yankyvilla, its hilarious how the press just copy rivals news stories, then add bits on! Those guys actually get paid for guess work and copycat nonsense. The Birmingham evening mail have got it down to a fine art - they report evergthing Aston Villa and each story nearly always ends with a crafty little dig " that we aren't supposed to notice " because we are thick" or a negative slant to dampen our moods further - very clearly written at st andrews " Carry on writing Evening Mail but unfortunately for you i think this takeover will happen -VTID.

Your so right Develins, The Birmingham Mail is the worst of the worst and have to put a downer on every story it's so blatantly obvious. If Larry Ellison does happen to buy Villa all that the Mail would have to say is that Ellison now plans to change the name of the club to "Larry's Lions" they are so anti Villa and always looking to call us down or cause the fans grief, well I think they should change their own name to the "St. Andrews Times".

Yankee villa -I noticed an article that popped up in the afternoon yesterday By the Evening Mail, it read " do you beleive in omens" and highlighted the last time Villa were close to a sale and how it fell apart. So just as we were all about to get excited they slam a low dig to the ribs! Embarrissingly for them and very mysteriosly the article then disapeared from the internet - clearly of no interest to anyone! The Evening Mail writers underline what we already know - its called OBSESSED WITH THE VILLA!
