I have recently received some news regarding the situation at the villa. There are 4 interested parties in the club, nothing is yet finalised due to the debts the club currently have, Lerner himself is one of those villa are in debt too, the potential owners are haggling that if they buy the club Lerner's debt is to be written off, penny pincher Lerner is having none of that.
'This is also the reason he has Slashed 50 million off the club'
The new owners aren't in any rush to buy the club, knowing that the sooner they buy the sooner they spend. Expect a deal around Aigist 1st to be finalised

Bit harsh to refer to him as a penny pincher with all the money he has put into the the playing staff and training ground over the years. Not too mention his 100m loan to the club which is outstanding. Yes he has turned the tap off over the last few years but as a whole over his period at the club he has sunk a massive sum into us

Scrooge will hold out for every penny regardless of our AVFC. His purse is rusted up and needs wd40 to release it. The sooner he goes the better. I just wish we could have a whip round to get him a leaving present!

Villapuppet.

which we all Know about, and then call him a penny pincher??
A bit miffed mate.

I refer to him as a penny pincher due to the fact the club also owes him 100mil which he wanted on top of the £200 mil original asking price, now the price is £150 mil plus £100 mil debt.
Villa also have their eye on tom ince the developments. The torres rumours are actually true like Ferdinand however this is simply an initial enquiry as to availability
Roy keane will be confirmed Monday. Jason Dodd and Paul Williams from the saints academy are also expected to join by end of week to replace culverhouse and karsa

Love that someone wanting a £100m loan back is a penny pincher. i'm sure if u loaned someone £100 ud be sure to ask for it back o pretty sure Lerner well within his rights. Although I had geard ge gad written off the clubs debt to him which would be an amazing thing to do. Poor bloke lost millions on Villa. Give him a break

I will follow your info very carefully. Only hope that are not pulling our strings.

I can understand Learner wanting some money back but we can't stand up and say he was great ploughing his millions in if he wants them back!

The fact is Lerner didn't make these terms clear from the start, The debt of £100 million means Lerner still has a say, and quite a big one considering the club is for sale at only £50 million more, Lerner could potentially convert these into shares which is again proving a sticking point These are the in's and out's of what is complex due to the circumstances still expect a deal to be finalised by 1st August. A figure for transfers is £15 million, Lambert is looking for a 2 defensive midfielders expect a 3-5-2 and a 3-3-3-1 formation to be our main formations. The club will offer new deals to both vlaar and delph once the takeover has been completed
