Well with the takeover less than 24 hours old already we are seeing the doubters questioning the intentions of the new owner, incidentally the very same people who doubted that the takeover was even happening. Well let me tell you this, sometime back I told you all that the deal was done and the manager chosen all to be confirmed at the end of the season, so here we are less than a week after the season as finished and already an announcement made proving that my information was good, well in addition to that information I can tell you that I have been told that the new owners plans are honourable and he intends to back and finance the team and club going forward to the highest level. You can take my word for it or put it on the backburner (Ok Jam Dog) it is entirely up to yourselves but eventually you all will see for yourselves just as you did the takeover ;-)

In the world of split personalities, who are you today, apologies, i'm trying to keep up, but its like an episode of benson (for those of a certain age may remember? )

Lads it's like handbags at dawn here. Yankees heart is in the right place like the rest of us. His info was pretty accurate lol.


6.) 19 May 2016 07:34:32
People say i"ve been known to look like worzel gummidge, after going to the barbers (on a good day) but i've never posted anything about my hero (and fashion icon! ) worzel, or have i put the wrong head on again! doh.

ok ladies whatever, I see that your all on the story of 40-50 million to spend now yet half a day ago you was saying he was only here to make money, talk about split personalities you lot should take a long look at yourselves Lmao.


10.) 19 May 2016 17:54:28
As I see it we have been or are well along the road of a takeover. As yet we have no firm evidence of board members, club structure, financial intent, player recruitment, new manager/ coach, indeed nothing else other than a Chinese buyer (not American Yankee! ) of whom we know little. I will remain optimistic but cautiously so with my optimism on the back burner Yankee.

Dr. Tony Xia has bought Aston Villa,
Recon Group is a privately owned holding company that owns the controlling interest in five publicly listed companies on the Hong Kong and Chinese stock exchanges and many other private companies employing 35,000 people in 75 countries.

Dr Xia's immediate objective is to return Aston Villa to the Premier League and then to have the Club finish in the top six, bringing European football back to Villa Park. He plans to make Aston Villa the most famous football Club in China with a huge fan base.

One of his companies is 2nd biggest in the world - and yes they all Employ over 35,000 people - on those grounds i think its fair to say he is very very rich, billions not millions! I have seen an estimate of 27bn?

{Ed002's Note - The relevance of which is what?}


2.) 19 May 2016 15:37:26
What do you mean " thr relevance of which is what?! What s strange, alomost arogant question! Lol If he is worth that kind of figure and wants spend it, he could make us hugely successful is what! don't understand your question in
any way?

{Ed002's Note - No, actually what you don't understand is the game and the rules surrounding money.}


3.) 19 May 2016 15:38:25
Odd question there mate! Laughing.

{Ed002's Note - There is nothing odd about the question at all - what is odd is your lack of knowledge.}


4.) 19 May 2016 18:53:59
I have plenty of knowledge of the game and its rules surroundings financials. i'm an accountant for one! Now i understand about fair play rules and how that changes things, and i also understand that this extremely wealthy person can improve Aston Villa on the football field and commercially, in fact it could make the club huge bearing in mind his plans to introduce Villa to China and further expand our fan base and commercial attractiveness!

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.

1.) 12 May 2016 03:52:50
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.


2.) 12 May 2016 21:43:05
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.


3.) 13 May 2016 02:24:43
is your American larry ellison like me or do you think someone else. it's looking like the Chinese though.


4.) 13 May 2016 15:07:06
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.


5.) 13 May 2016 21:44:29
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.


6.) 14 May 2016 00:13:07
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".


7.) 14 May 2016 10:31:31
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!


 

 

08 May 2016 21:17:44
I do so love reading press reports, I see that the new owners were at the Villa v Newcastle game so where are the photos to back this up, I'm sure the press would of been camped at Villa Park waiting to get that all important first photo if this was the case. Once again proving that if they have no news they will create some news to sell their papers, truth is they know considerably less than I.

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. :-)

Yankee Villa Fan

1.) 03 May 2016 02:22:44
so you have been told new owners are done and will all be announced along with manager soon? is this fact or your hunch. ?


2.) 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


3.) 03 May 2016 09:18:16
More unfounded rumours. Anyone could come on here and say a deal is done. No evidence whatsoever not even a sniff.


4.) 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.


5.) 03 May 2016 15:57:36
I'll have what he's having!


6.) 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.


7.) 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.


8.) 03 May 2016 18:20:04
I to can confirm that my opinion is indeed my choice. Thank you


9.) 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?


10.) 03 May 2016 18:59:16
Glad you managed to clear that up Flakie.


11.) 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!


12.) 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.


13.) 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?


14.) 03 May 2016 20:21:08
Thank you Yankee villa fan, I am touched


15.) 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.


16.) 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

UTV.


17.) 03 May 2016 22:00:34
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


18.) 04 May 2016 05:18:33
yes but I'd also take buying the league as that's how it works mostly these days .


19.) 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.


20.) 04 May 2016 12:37:03
Or that Lerner has set fire to the place.


21.) 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)

Just a quick note on Christian Benteke who left our great club claiming that he wanted Champions League football upsetting many fans at the time, you may have been the final nail in our premiership coffin but even if Liverpool beat Sevilla in the Europa League final and thus qualify I don't think that you will be a part of the squad to compete in it. It is a lesson to him and indeed all other players in the future that not all that glitters is gold as his move to Anfield must be considered a failure.

Yankee Villa Fan

1.) 17 May 2016 19:18:16
Are we really saying we blame, and indeed think Big Ben was wrong in leaving?

Did he leave with us wanting him to fail? Not me, I feel he did all he could for us, and was honest regarding his aspirations.

The guy we should all point at, blame, and laugh at his amazing fall from grace is a certain Fabian 'I'm here for the fight' Delph.
His antics, lies and the way he put two fingers up to his fellow team mates, coaches and us is what finally destroyed us.
We had no back bone or belief after this dirty snake.


2.) 17 May 2016 20:04:58
Flackie, I actually said that he MAY of been the final nail in the coffin, that implies that there were also many more nails that contributed to our down fall, he just being the final nail. Also I don't blame him for leaving I merely said that all that glitters is not gold, meaning what sometimes looks the best option often does not turn out that way.


3.) 17 May 2016 20:17:28
I'm confused, as I thought I answered Yankie villa fans post?

{Ed007's Note - Looks like someone has forgotten to change accounts!}


4.) 17 May 2016 20:33:15
Hahahahaha another one caught out! your on the ball there flackie obviously u left the celebration early last night! Agree with your comment too.


5.) 17 May 2016 20:45:55
I agree with Flackie.
We didn't actually have to sell Benteke to Red Scouse as they did not activate the clause in his contract that would have made it impossible for us to stop him.
The club wanted to sell him; I'm sure he was happy to go, but the club allowed it to happen. His clause said anyone offering £32 million in CASH could activate his release clause. Liverpool offered that amount but it was in staged payments. In other words, the clause was never activated. We willing negotiated a deal with them.


6.) 17 May 2016 21:07:22
Hahahahhahahhahahahhahaha another one caught out why do people do this is beyond me.

It was interesting to see how quickly people were ready to condemn me so thanks for all the kind remarks. By the way I told you all some time back that the club was sold and the manager was in place to be announced at the end of the season, well it's the end of the season and lo and behold an announcement is about to be made about new owners and new manager. Was nice sharing my information with you anyway and i hope it reassured some of you during a period of much uncertainty and we can all look forward now to better days ahead.


 

 

17 May 2016 14:50:36
I see that the newspapers are reporting that Adrian Bevington as left the club, the man always stated that he never wanted to take on the position full time and that he would be leaving at the end of the season so just how the hell is this news.!

26 Apr 2016 21:55:47
To be completely honest why are we even discussing potential managers with a takeover just around the corner. Surely the way forward would be to wait until the takeover is done and dusted and then look at managers, David Moyes and Nigel Pearson can snub us all they like because after the takeover they may not be seen as even being good enough for the job, Moyes was made to look a monkey at Man Utd even though he had cash so I wouldn't trust him with a war chest of cash anyway.

If, and yes it is obviously an if, we are about to be taken over, then the new owners would be letting know who they want, and where, board members, managers and director of football.
Any appointments made now would be Lerners, would be the new owners. If there is one!


2.) 26 Apr 2016 22:57:28

3.) 27 Apr 2016 00:08:13
I agree to an extent but if the new owners still had not signed a concrete deal then I don't think any appointments would be made on their behalf in case they should pull out. Also if it was a concrete deal then surely it would already of been announced so I can only see that appointing a manager now would be Lerner's deal in which case it may not suit the new owner and would be rendered pointless.


4.) 27 Apr 2016 12:21:25
Look back to when we announced Martin o'niel.
We still had Doug as owner, and had no announcement made In the press of otherwise.
Yet it was Lerner who appointed him.
I think that's why we are seeing changes happen, the board, manager, redundancy etc. Makes sense that the new owner would want things in place for when in happens, as not their expense, or effort to sort.


5.) 27 Apr 2016 16:36:01
but didn't MON said publicly that he had a verbal conversation with randy that he was going to take over and on that basis he accepted the job?


 

 

25 Apr 2016 22:35:21
Expect an announcement regarding take over before the end of the week. :-)

Yankee Villa Fan

1.) 26 Apr 2016 02:00:15
I think a manager will be in by end of week. maybe the new owner but I'm hearing still a couple of weeks away. who out of interest do you think is taking over. I'm with ellison.


2.) 26 Apr 2016 20:57:58
something doesn't tally - either a new manager or a takeover, i can't see us getting a new manager prior to a takeover as the new owners will want their own people in place. so why is hollis is in advanced talks with pearson? no takeover for me.


3.) 26 Apr 2016 21:36:35
Ellison is what everyone over here is saying, but everyone in the know is remaining tight lipped but the word on the street is that Ellison is most definitely interested and he is already in serious talks with an announcement imminent.

I will be checking for news each day as too most Villa fans who are anticipating and long over due some excellent news. If this takeover goes which I feel it will (despite the newspapers fabricating many negatives), then maybe the relegation of the club becomes tolerable on the basis that the club have been going nowhere for the past few seasons and if this relegation was the price we had to pay in order to rebuild then so be it I can live with that.

Bang on Devlins, Birmingham Mail again, I'm not taking note of the Keith Wyness link either as that's reported in the mail and their stories are usually trash but i guess they will give us his life story along with all the negatives that he may bring to the club. The sooner St Andrews gets closed down the better, with our expanding fan base after this takeover we could use their ground as parking space.

Well said Loyal Supporter Lol, Yes the sooner the better that the takeover is announced for sure but with the transfer window not officially opening until July 1st I don't think there is any great rush just yet so no need to panic. I'm sure the powers that be will announce when they feel the time is right for all concerned.

with the real damage already done I wouldn't worry villanick, I'm already looking at next season along with most Villa fans. With a new owner on the horizon along with a new manager how can you possibly describe it as the last nail in the coffin? the club will continue through good times and bad and may well find good times sooner than many think. Yes Randy did lose his way over the last few years but he did also do the club a lot of good and that should also be remembered and with the sale of the club who can really say where we will be in five years time.
