Hi all first time post, life long villa fan forever :)I too find myself trawling the net for any kind of rumours over potential takeover but I've realised 1 thing tonight does it matter really, BEN will go once liverpool sell sterling i think and i'm glad he will go TBH as don't want a gone off belgium waffle to start season off, too long has BEN and agent held villa at ransome so thx for saving our a** last few seasons "goodluck". Although i was a bit angry over Delph you can see what he has done, he could of left for nothing but signed new contract at least we'll get 10 mil, Vlaar i would rip up contract offer be on your way "move to a bigger club" thanks but no thanks i don't hear of any intrest yet but see ya, If no take over as long as lerner puts the 42.5mil back into the club we can buy at least 5/6 quality players. I like the players we are being linked with and seems TS looks like he is really trying to get some great potential players.If there is a takeover imminent i would be well happy but if not its not so bad like i said if Lerner does not pocket the money. Thx :)

There is NO-ONE in exclusivity! it was rumoured there were 3 bids.
1. HH and Ian Taylor with Chinese backing
2. Very rich mystery US buyer
3. Paul Smith consortium.
Paul Smith lot can only raise half the asking price and plan on putting the rest as loans against the club, so we can rule them out.
The mystery US bidder I think is a con by Lerner and Fox to get the real bid get a move on. The reason no one knows who they are is because maybe they don't exist.
That leaves HH and the China Equity Group, this bid has hit a major stumbling block with the Chinese government red tape. its looking like another season with Lerner in charge.

it was well publicised that exclusivity was granted around June 8th. I am sure if that group were no longer interested then Randy would want it in the public domain so that other interested parties would be aware. remember he doesn't want to go into this season as owner so why would he lie ? until they announce something or the 6 weeks is up we are just a bunch of mushrooms.

Now you really are chatting rubbish, the club will be sold but it's not like buying a pack of smokes from your local shop, things can get complicated and so take time. Your story is complete rubbish and truth is you know nothing about the buyout.
