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.

It's definitely today. My source said so, it was Kingvilla.



17 May 2016 09:28:25
It was going so well.



17 May 2016 09:45:42

Sorry lads.

It can't be today have to pass the fit and proper persons test not that it's worth the paper it's written on if it is written takes two weeks for that and avfc football club by law has to confirm they have received abid for that to start so sorry guys as much as I would love it to be today I think we looking at 2-3 weeks yet before any completion statement.



17 May 2016 11:56:06
man city did not confirm no bid until the day the takeover was done. this has all been done already. later today we will get some news.



17 May 2016 12:10:13
all the fit and proper persons rules state is that any person wanting to own over 30% of a club must take it. it does not state it has to be made public knowledge before its done. trust me it's already been completed. it was done last year to start with but randy pulled out last min.

I pray your right kingvilla, you hold the hopes and aspirations (not to mention the sanity) of many villa fans in your hands, a responsibility not to be taken lightly, there's a white paded cell with my name on if this doesn't happen, but to be honest the mrs reckons i deserve it anyways for watching that dross all season! (so i told her to jump on her broomstick and do one-under me breath naturally! )

You can only go threw fpp if you got confirmation of becoming owner/ manager of company and if that was case we would have concrete evidence of who is buying us.



17 May 2016 19:15:22
no there is no law saying they have to make it public. an offer could be made accepted and fpp done and we have not got to be told anything. they can keep the whole process under wraps until they want to tell us.



17 May 2016 20:30:43
Has your contact told you just how much these guys are worth kingy?



18 May 2016 02:50:03
state backed by Chinese government.

See the link about this Keith wyness, ex ceo of Everton, linked with the new buyers . Worked at Everton for 5 years, they say he did a great job . Rumoured to be our new director of football . Still dosent say who new owners are . Reading about Wyness, it says he has connections world wise, including the Far East . Villa forever.

Everyone noticed the Birmingham Mails little dig again in latest takeover update?
They can't help Report the story but at the same time, how Lerner wants out, and how he wants to offload the Club! Its a comical attempt to make the whole thing look negative.

when the new owners are finally in place they will Spin negativity on that too, something like, "be careful what you wish for Villa" or "doubts about funds to spend on team have appeared". i'm going to rename the paper, The Evening Obsessed!

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.
