Aston Villa are still set for a August takeover The Roy Keane deal has hit a snag due the takeover, Roy is seeking assurances that there will still be a job once the takeover is complete. Paul Lambert is currently being given at least 12 months after the takeover to turn things around. We are also are in discussions with Tottenham Hotspur over Lewis Holtby and Nacer Chadli for £13millon once our takeover is complete.
Holtby admires Lambert and has been quoted as saying he learnt a lot from watching him. Lambert has also made no secret of the fact
of admiring chadli previously and more recently saying Holtby is the kind of players he wants in. Ryan Bertand is somebody else who when the takeover is completed could sign permanently expect a £5 million deal. There will be another £22 million to spend expect this to be spent on 2 players of 'experienced youth' unsure yet of names but will keep you all posted
1.) Actually makes sense. fingers crossed.
2.) Here's hoping be happy with all the above UTV
3.) Who is meant to be buying Villa in August?
4.) Are we trying to get as many awful left backs as possible.
5.) I can see this happening to be honest thought from day 1 when we were put up for sale that the deal would be sorted before the start of the season. Them signings would make sense as well if the takeover was to be complete. I think it will happen.
6.) Micky Arison is currently negotiating the fine print on the takeover, the reason for the completion being August is due to pre season being in July. Lambert (and hopefully keane) will be able to assess the team at there disposal, Lambert has already met with Arison when he went to America he made his points on the club and Arison was extremely impressed with the case he put across for his vision of Aston Villa which in all fairness I myself believe in, he has had to put up with championship funds whilst trying to manage a team the size of Villa, a lesser manage would of left by now.
The bomb squad will be asked to pull their finger out during pre season, but if they haven't and nobody has came forward to buy them they will have their contracts brought out.
Clark and potentially Baker are expected to be sent out on loan for 6 months initially with Okore, Vlaar and Senderos providing enough cover. Vlaar has also in prinicipal agreed a new 4 year contract which will be signed when he returns to Villa Park.
Fabian Delph is also expected to sign a new 4 year deal this is to be signed once the takeover is complete.
Agbonlahor is expected to agree a new deal also (not very exciting) he will also be told that next season he is a guaranteed starter.
7.) Vlaar going to Manchester United senderos got his squad number on sky.
8.) How can new deals be agreed when a block as been put in place till sale of club as gone though? and I would think vlaar will be gone once he returns from WC.
9.) Squad numbers not decided yet
10.) The deals have all been agreed with Arison's approval, knowing that Delph, Vlaar and Gabby are not only huge fan favourites they are also valuable assets, however until the ink is dry on the takeover nobody can actually sign anything. Vlaar quite clearly stated at the end of last season he wants to win trophies with Villa that isn't something that he would come out and say if he had other plans which he will of no doubt discussed with LVG, who
has been his national coach for a fair amount of time, 1 or 2 games will not make him suddenly re consider Vlaar for Man Utd.
11.) TV reporting ki deal with Swansea almost done only problem being swans want him to stay in yaki dah land with the rest of the population who wish they were born english
12.) Gabb y's missed the boat on what he could have achieved in the game inconsistency never got him past the he has got pace tag

Latest on the take over front, there are 3 new potential owners, one of whom is Micky Arison he had previously planned to buy the club as a partnership with Larry Ellison. It now appears Ellison has cold feet, Arison however is continuing ahead, in 2014 he has sold close to £200 million of assets and still has approximately £35 million worth of shares still for sale. The deal is expected to be completed around 1st Aug this gives Lambert and Keane, who will take the no. 2 role in the next week, this will allow time to properly assess the squad with a month left in which to bring in players. Miami Heat play their last game 16/06/2014 once the season ends and his current interests are dealt with Arison will make a bid.
I did post the same thing 3 days ago however it was taken down?
Villa puppet on twitter.
1.) Karen brady for the boardroom as a free from west ham? great signing will raise our profile a lot!

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
1.) 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
2.) 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!
3.) Villapuppet.
Why would you say that learner has slashed 50mil of the price for Villa.
which we all Know about, and then call him a penny pincher??
A bit miffed mate.
Villadave
4.) 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
5.) 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
6.) I will follow your info very carefully. Only hope that are not pulling our strings.
7.) 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!
8.) 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

Further on from my earlier post Micky Arison has showed his hand after selling £200 million of shares from Feb to todays date, he has another £35 million of shares still open for sale. There's no smoke without fire but I stand by my word 1st August, that means for the new owner its just before the start of the premiership season and a month before the transfer window closes, this will give Lambert and Keane the chance to evaluation the squad at their disposal before buying this is why the bomb squad are now involved
1.) If that was the case I think Micky Arison would get rid of those two would you trust then to spend your money
2.) If this micky arison needs to sell stuff to buy aston villa he ent the right guy we need a chairman wit cash at the ready stinks of birmingham city carsen young
3.) Good point mike12345678 I don't want no sh*t kicker coming in just for the thrill this arison can't be as mint as all think as why would he be off loading all his bits n bobs for a small price really considering how much he is suppostoo be we need deep pockets
avfc4life
4.) I don't think Arison will have enough cash, I think he is trying to find someone to invest with because Ellision isn't to saw about it now.
5.) Forbes list him as having a net worth of $6. 3 billion
Or, in other words, about 6 times Lerner's net worth
I think it's safe to assume the bloke can afford us without a problem
The fact that he would choose to do it by freeing funds from a toxic investment would also suggest he isn't an person.
Not in any way convinced he's buying us but if he was it would be good news
6.) Hi mendax fair point mate but the only time ill be convinced is when its a done deal and all is well again at the villa avfc4life
7.) I'm with you on that avfc4life
Cortese is not exactly a football man, he is a business man more notably a swiss banker, but this is very interesting as it signal the beginning of a takeover. With money now being spent this week on cissokho and possibly the colombian DM Sanchez this could indicate Lerner sticking to his word of spending £10-15 mil then leaving around the kick off of the new season.
The deals have all been agreed with Arison's approval, knowing that Delph, Vlaar and Gabby are not only huge fan favourites they are also valuable assets, however until the ink is dry on the takeover nobody can actually sign anything.
