Haven't been on the site for a long time but found this interesting bit of news today. You all may have read it but fingers crossed!!!

Cheers Chico and welcome to the site We've been tracking Mr Arison and even traced his boat movements last year (I kid you not ha) We have kept an eye on his stock selling and we were convinced he was pictured with Lerner last pre-season in the US (the pictures were in the Mail, only to be removed) so you may well be onto something with our Micky. He and Larry Ellison are running jokes on this forum, would be great if either were to own Villa

Anyway, welcome and keep posting, good to have you!!

Welcome to TBAR Chico, as GM has said Arison is a favourite of ours. We've spent many hours happily sleuthing the guy and his travels. I suspect our new owner will be American, but that still leaves many names in the frame.

Coffee and a chat with Tom Fox at VP. Some very exciting developments at our club in the coming months. #UTV

whatever that means :?:

You've missed the most important part of that tweet mate in my opinion....the accompanying picture of the North Stand.....my guess is that the North Stand redevelopment will be announced over the next few months!

He tweeted again at 15:11: Infrastructure Infrastructure Infrastructure

Think he has deleted that tweet now though!

Being a ST holder in the North Stand, I wonder would we get first dibs after any refurb?


Edit: Seems our man Stan deleted another tweet at 15:15 :

Not physical infrastructure. Investment in talent. People.

Well well, a new north stand means more seats right? Why would you need more seats?

To make sure we keep in tow with the Paul McGrath song...

yeah (see above)...he deleted another before that too

My guess Tom Fox has told him about new management/commercial appointments. you wouldn't refer to players as "infrastructure".

This could well be in reference to Randy's Plan B..ie. he steps down and appoints a new chairman....meaning no buyer!

Yes, you're right I was busy at the time so didn't read much into it, explains why he said DEVELOPMENTS, I did see the picture, maybe it's just going to be a big clean-up, but hope it's more.

[Dgrizzle7]

something must be very close now imo, more people sharing info

[jvilla]

Can't see stan getting excited about new management structures. I think his tweet basically said we'll be buying lots of talented players but then he thought bugger, Fox asked me not to disclose this much so I better delete it.

Who refers to players as infrastructure though? and the '.' between' talent' and 'people'....it's an investment in 'people'.

This is not player related in my opinion....I think Tom Fox has divulged Randy's Plan B!!

[jvilla]

Well apart from a new chairmen, pretty much every other position at the club is filled. Seems pretty clear to me but each to their own.

Erm..the chairman role is filled aswell!....every position that exists at the club, is filled.....new positions open, departments expand etc etc

We never had a CCO until a few months ago!

Does anyone seriously think that Tom Fox said to Stan "Now this is confidential news so please don't tell anybody"!

[jvilla]

You were reffering to a situation where lerner steps down as chairman and is replaced - hence the chairman's position would be the only one filled with Randy gone. Anyway, you run with it, seems to make a lot of sense to you.

Well if Fox is talking openly to Collymore then we're probably close to an announcement.

I guess telling Stan something is cheaper and more effective than hiring billboards.

[Villa_Dan]

I wouldn't tell Stan anything "confidential"!!

[hawk190601]

Wasn't redevelopment of North Stand rumoured to be a parting gift? Looking on the positive side!

I'm guessing you're gonna be one of these really really really angry internet types if this doesn't pan out the way you want it to!
