Morning red top again stating that there could be three groups looking at buying AVFC.
C'mon Lerner make my day, sell quickly and let someone invest money on players.

Would a takeover really make any difference? Obviously it would offer more stability for the future but in terms of investment I can't see a massive improvement due to FFP regulations. Fans need to be realistic it's literally impossible to plough money into the club like Chelsea and City now.

FFP will be relaxed this summer according to Platini

Well in that case FFP is completely pointless and should just be scrapped.

FFP was introduced following consultation with the top clubs in every league, this meant that they successfully stopped other clubs from spending the owners money once the agreement was concluded.
This is where Lerner defended his lack of funds, 48.6m in the last 4 years.
Platini has realised that the teams that had already spent big money were restricting "smaller" clubs from buying bigger names.
Could be interesting if FFP is relaxed!

FFP 'in principal' is a good idea but has been poorly executed. The result is the 'big' clubs remain 'big' and no other teams can speculatively invest in order to catch up. Will be interesting to see what they come up with to allow clubs to invest speculatively without ruining themselves. If they can nail that, it will be excellent for football in general.
