I wonder how true the mark Cuban rumours were at the time. That went quiet quickly.

Just got a little prematurely excited on the way home as I listened to the sport news on TS. They finished with an American billionaire exclusive but it turned out to be Donald Trump running for President

He's announced? What a sugarbag that bloke is.

The good thing about villa is that they either spill the beans early or just after lunch, I swear when it's announced I am hitting the pub (obviously not in the morning) .....actually it depends who owns us. It's nice to feel a slight buzz, it's like Christmas as a kid, I just hope we get the GI Joe with the Kung fu grip and not a sh*t selection box

Very quiet on here today, hopefully the calm before the storm.

Indeed, it will all come out of the blue and cause a massive melt down on all sites when it does eventually happen. I don't 'think' we will have to wait too long, end of June, first week in July I've always said, I'm sticking with that. Scarf Waving

I think there's a lot of misinformation in the public domain Keyser (so don't see this as aimed at you, just my tuppence worth on it and to add to the discussion) Just like this figure for the fee. Nobody knows that, they think they do, but they don't!! It's classified and subject to NDA's So unless you're on the bidding or selling team it's not feasible to know. This 150m + 27m overdraft is nonsense, or 150m and a gift of 30m for new players from RL haha!! So by that logic he'd risk relegation by NOT spending and then gift the club 30m to buy players or take 120m which is effectively what it is, but said in a way to say "hey look I have details, so must be legit" All hearsay, rumour and downright fiction in some cases!!

Light bulb moment.....

With the talk on here of the proposed takeover involving former players, I was thinking.....Andy Townsend ended his 15 years of broadcasting on Sunday.....I don't suppose he may be moving into the boardroom?.....just a thought!

by Davidvilla73 Tue Jun 16, 2015 8:36 pm

Turn that light bulb off! I reckon it's Ian Taylor who's involved.

yeah agree, makes most sense...but you never know, could be several "football men" on the board.

China is key to the takeover in my opinion. Tom Fox has knowledge of Asia, the new sponsors are looking to grow in China and in Europe. Whether the owners are Chinese or not I dont know, but we have been gearing ourselves to that market

Wouldn't disagree with that, but most of Europe's top clubs are doing the same.

Hasn't Ian Taylor been doing alot of business in China with his headphones?

Anyone shed any light on the Twitter rumour the bid has collapsed having failed Due Dilligance, bidders were from Hong Kong.

by Keyser Soze Tue Jun 16, 2015 10:55 pm

If no deal is completed before period of exclusivity ends for whatever reason then does anyone think Lerner will stay for another year or grant exclusivity to one of the other parties knowing that it will affect our summer transfer dealings time wise.

Takeover has collapsed according to a dubious Twitter source!

Yes, easily. I've also been testing some my company are sourcing and rebranding (which is what I do, sort of) which are amazing.
