Someone on twitter saying he's heard Peter Rigbys is buying us

I hope it's not true. He's worth half the amount Randy is.

Wood sum him up though that he choose him over a guy worth 35 billion

Who the fuck is Peter Rigby? confused

by Guest Mon Apr 25, 2016 8:39 pm

Wouldnt have a problem with that. Highly successful in the business world it seems. I'd take that over a trust fund baby like Randy sny day.

Where would the deal be concluded/announced , America or here .
Just wondering if I should start doing 24 hour shifts on Twitter and Ssn

Rigby Group PLC revenue : £2.041 billion

I can believe this. He is Birmingham based and has a ton of relestate development projects. I'd bet the land we own is very interesting to him.

Gone off the Dalian Wanda idea already, I want a young Tech Billionaire female owner, preferably with huge ASSETS

I think the movements from Lerner tell all, he has not been back to brum and his plane is for sale. I still think it's Ellison.

by hawk190601 Mon Apr 25, 2016 9:16 pm

So what date do people think it will be announced?

by Chrissylee1111 Mon Apr 25, 2016 9:21 pm

Hopefully by the end of the week. I still wouldn't be surprised if it was the end of the season though.

by Guest Mon Apr 25, 2016 9:25 pm

I reckon 1. April 2017

by hawk190601 Mon Apr 25, 2016 9:26 pm

So Chrissylee you are going for Ellison at end of season.

Hmm.. I think Ellison in July.

by 4BetLite Mon Apr 25, 2016 9:27 pm

I'm going for Dolly Parton, Octember 33rd 2018

by Chrissylee1111 Mon Apr 25, 2016 9:32 pm

If Ellison was announced I bet all the idiot players chatting sh!t on Twitter will change their tune.

Dolly would be great. Especially if she came with a consortium from the chicken ranch.
Is she associated with Larry in some way?

Then we'll all be romantically nourished!!

I think he uses her as an anchor on one of his yachts sometimes.

I've just realised HarryAVFC is back. If it's the same Harry I remember, someone needs to be on suicide watch as the takeover
tension mounts! Welcome back Harry, I hope you're well.

Great result for the U21's.

Won 2-1 away at Swansea.

Good shift put in from all, I believe Rushan Heb. Murphy. Played very well on his return from injury.

by DaveAV1 Mon Apr 25, 2016 10:31 pm

This Peter Rigby story does add up a bit. He is Midlands based and just the sort of bloke Holis would know well. Very successful and sounds like no fool. I doubt he'd get involved for romantic nourishment reasons. I've found nothing so far about any connections or interest in football. He's worth personally about £430 million, so I'd imagine there would be some leverage involved, but I'd say we'd be well run. However apart from swimming in the same pond as Steve Hollis, I can't really see what his motivation would be.

by Olof Mellberg Mon Apr 25, 2016 10:55 pm

Peter Rigby IMO seems far more plausible and realistic than Ellison IMO.

Though I still wont believe any takeover happens, until it does.

If it dosent happen, Boy are we screwed.

Clubs just in a holding pattern currently

if we get a good owner it would be so disappointing to appoint Pearson AVFC Takeover Thread, Rumours, Gossip and Hearsay...all goes here - Page 19 50815218

I've gotten my hopes up for over two years now about takeover rumors. I'm going to firmly deny that it will happen this summer. We're shit and stuck with Lerner.
