Aston Villa takeover begins to look unlikely
The club issued a statement last night saying it has not been provided with any detailed financial plans by Brian and Luke Comer, the millionaire builders backing the bid.
“As per our announcement dated October 31, 2005, the board has held discussions with Aston Villa Investments Limited (AVIL) in the context of AVIL having provided Aston Villa with an indicative proposal to acquire the company, which if converted into a firm offer, the board of Aston Villa would recommend to shareholders,” the club said in a statement to the London Stock Exchange.
