    I can envisage takeover meetings going on in December, under candle light!

    All desperate times, I just hope RD uses his stupid brain and bloody sells the club, otherwise the purse strings get worse and could be in adminstration by then.

    Can people stop worrying about this please - we cannot go into administration, as Roland would lose even more than he is potentially losing in this sale. The club only owes money to Staprix (Roland's company). If he sent us into admin, the administrators would be able to sell the club to the highest bidder, which would be a lot less than the purported £40m that the Aussies are spending. Roland would potentially be throwing away twenty or thirty million quid by such action, so it is not going to happen. He may be daft but he's not stupid!
    There's an element of tongue-in-cheek remark at this but some business people have weird minds. It's been said before about Blackpool or Leyton Orient.
    I dont see RD burning his money and losing everything.
    His losses with us I imagine are offset against profits he makes with his other businesses.

    Perhaps this may explain why he has taken so long with the sale.

    Have the old director loans been sorted yet?

    Belgian stand in FD says yes, Aussies say no.

    Interesting that Villa's new investors have come form nowhere and passed the EFL test and have been announced by the club. Meanwhile, we're no further on in 12 months with the Aussies.

    That's the Sands of Time for you..
    Please tell them to stop with these puns, mummy!

    Maybe Murray can update him on the imaginary British consortium.

    The meeting between Lee Bowyer and Richard Murray has just broken up, and it has been decided (unlike the dreadful fans forum farrago) to release the minutes.
    I have copied them for all fans below.

    Hmmmmm. Out of interest, has anybody spoken to Reg about the current situation and attempt to gather his thoughts?

    A few people on here know him enough to actually ask the question.

    He does appear to be remarkably quiet for such a well known fan.

    So Murray gave an half hour update on the takeover to who he thought was Bowyer, only to find out he was in the meeting room alone. Should have taken a candle.

    I understand Murray turned up in a corked hat, carrying a digeridoo, throwing witchety grubs on a portable bar-b... Lee had to point out that No! We did not get taken over in May.

    Perhaps when he said the takeover was going to go through, he intended to say wasn't.

    maybe Murray advised Bowyer to gain his class A licence ...As it stands at the moment this time next year we will be without Bowyer as well.

    You sure it was not Murray that called the meeting to ask Lee if he had heard anything? :wink:

    I heard today that the price has been agreed, but they are now arguing over whether it includes the light bulbs or not.
