I'm a villa fan, live in Leicester, but been a season ticket holder over 30 years.
I don't normally go along with all the rumours, and gossip spreading, as it just builds hopes up, but with villa, last few years, those hopes get smashed fairly quickly!
However, I have a good friend who works in security at villa for players, and board members.
Months ago, thought he was winding me up, he told me Ellison, and arison where buying villa.
He told me as a good will gesture, down payment and to keep out press, Ellison gave Lerner £35m.
Apparently the deal will be through by august 1st.
Lambert is to remain in charge, at least until January, as both see instant massive change as detriment, they believe it will be a slow process.
All this is from a friends mouth, who I do believe and trust, but you know how gossip works!.
He also believes talk of £200m investment in playing staff, and facilities.
Hope all is true! Either way, up the villa, and all have a great summer!

If we really were going to be taken over by Ellison and invest £200m, what is with the free signings and Sanderos?

Not happening!

We all live in hope, because at the moment we can only sign frees, we can't even sign loan players as that involves a fee, which Lerner won't sanction.

So anyone on the planet who has not denied an interest as as likely as Mr Arrison?
That's a lot of "potential" buyers including you
