From the BBC:
What gets me is why would anyone in their right mind want to take over a club going steadily backwards? Lets face facts, each season we climb further up the league while they are slowly dropping. We are having a new stadium built, with a casino. Most of our support is actually within the city of Birmingham, unlike their 'fairweather' supporters from the outskirts. If they do get bought out by some investor, they may well do a Chelsea and we will get left behind. One thing going for us is the support and the forward thinking board. Surely this is a good opportunity for us to stake a claim to this investor? After all, apparantly Abramovich was close to buying Spurs before he got interested in Chelsea and until he took over, Spurs were a bigger club than Chelsea. |

Not sure I agree with you there, spurs were never a bigger club than chelsea. The reason they are interested in Villa is because they are going backwards and can be picked up on the cheap! |

Also, Lord Ellis is duty bound by the Stock Exchange, not to discuss various financial activities made by Villa. This happened at their last AGM as well, he was "gagged" because of a "takeover" possibilty then. |

the original lies about take over talks were to stir up interest. This new take over appears to be for around £45m, which is less that doug had boasted about last yr, stating £75m was the minimum. the new lower figure will not provide extra cash as would be a share purchase buy out. it does not appear to be russians, but a combination of villa fans who have money, but not enough to fund new players. As previously mentioned blues could get together, at this lower figure, pay £45m, then sell villa park for say £15m, (land for redevelopment) players for £25m and sell bits of villa park to silly fans for £5m. and then have got rid of villa for good |

Vile are always 'nearly' bought out just around the time of their AGM. The sad part of this is their fans have now fell for it 3 years running. |
