Re: Takeover thread. What will happen now. ?

If he knew a mystery man was there he'd be leading with the story not waiting until the end of the story and he mentions randy immediately after - nothing in this at all .

Just his poor attempt at a joke

[Dions_Bald_Head]

It's one thing to say that someone was there who looked like a certain billionaire & another to say, without room for doubt, that a billionaire was attending. I'd say he knows but isn't allowed to say...

PS I don't think he's making a snide reference to Lerner.

I'm positive he is - hence the investing rather than buying term .

me too, 100% I think hes on about lerner.  I texted my mate to say what KTC said and he said straight away hes on about lerner, when I read it again it convinced me he's talking about lerner.

If you keep spoiling our fun by trying to get FACTS then I'm not playing anymore...

What I also find very interesting is the mystery guy we've speculated is Arison wasn't pictured up close, but lots of other close shots of Lerner and his kids. I'm guessing photos were taken but for whatever reason not published in the paper. Now why is that? Could simply be as they/he were just innocent guests of Lerner and afforded some privacy OR Doogan has asked for those close up shots not to be released thus adding extra fuel to the fire (he was aware of the speculation as he responded to me and a few others on twitter)

So in closing could the mystery billionaire be the man pictured with RL? and the man Kendrick is on about? If so is it Arison? If not, who the hell is he?? Somebody find out..

if as expected he is, its dissapointing, he should know that this is one topic fans are hurting over and desperatly want hope of good news, its not a joking matter

You don't really get a mystery billionaire someone would of known whom it was very concerted dig at randolph that was by matt the investing in villa line gave that away

[My Old Man]

Ps play along please

I agree totally.

All Doogan has to do is promise the mail an exclusive if anything comes of the negotiations, and they are going to play ball. The last thing Kendrick and the mail want, is being blamed for any deal falling through. This has legs,im sure of it.

Could be courting favour with Lambert, trying to get back into his good books before the season starts. But he says mysterious billionaire when it would be easier to say Lerner. A dig is a dig despite how its worded, so im not sure it is that.

Referring to lerners lack of appearance at games I think

We need to find out for definate who that bloody bloke was with Lerner in Dallas, then we might have answers. I reckon it is Arison.

Well its down to personal interpretation, and there may well be a hint of that.

In a way,i dont want to know in case it ruins any future deal!

[Dansvilla75]

Have to say either I'm looking at the wrong picture or there some major straw clutching going on. I think the picture shows three males who are all too young to be Arison and he has been seriously OD ing on Just for men if that's him.

[Dansvilla75]

Shit looked at the other pictures and can confirm I believe that is Arison, ill just get me straws!!!!  

[Olof Mellberg]

Sooner Kendrick tweets he meant Lerner or not the better...

He better hurry the fuck up because I'm loosing respect for him by the minute.

I tweeted Mat K the following:

@MatKendrick Mystery billionaire? Your attempt at a poor Lerner reference? or was it the portly white haired fella? Or no comment?

His response:

@TheEgo74 All, none, or some of the above... ;-)

So that's conclusive then haha! I don't think he was on about Lerner. Just my take

[TheLeftSide]

Needs to be a closed question, I feel the silence will be deafening then though, which in itself would tell a story - answer question without a proper answer, ignore closed question.
My take is he was referring to Lerner cleverly getting the mail out the crap about the photos as they have been too silent about the rumours since photogate

I think an unfollow is coming his way on Twatter.

I take it as he can't say too much, so the next best thing is a reply like that. He said the other day there's going to be a new reporter for villa, but again in a slightly cryptic way. Just his way. I like Mat

[Green Villan]

It's all this cryptic bollocks that is making our moods worse, he needs a slap because he is acting the same as Lerner and Lambert needs to grow some balls and take some accurate criticism.

Maybe he's saying as much as he's allowed too? He's employed and had bills to pay too. So maybe he's saying as much as he can without getting into trouble? I don't know? He has never struck me as one to stir it. He's a villa fan after all so wants the best for our club too. I gave him a pretty tongue in cheek tweet to reply too in fairness. Someone ask him outright. I'm guessing he wouldn't be able to say.

[Villa_Dan]

He's a journo, unless there's something in it for him he won't give away a fucking thing. Same as the rest of them.

I think it was an attempt at a poor joke that has backfired somewhat
