What they Said
"I think it would be shocking to see an old-established club like Villa taken over by an American syndicate.
โ I would rather see Villa brought back to their former glories by people in this country.โ
President of the Football League, Leicester City's Len Shipman.
โI admit that my Villa ambitions are not over despite the fact that I have resigned from the Shareholders Association committee. But I am a bit dubious about these new developments.
โIf the present directors had given us a clear picture of what they envisaged by making this statement [suggesting the club is for sale], I would know what attitude to take.
โBut as far as I can see things have not changed.
โThe men who would not have me on the Board when I last tried are still in the saddle, and until I know what their plans are I cannot make a move."
Harry Kartz.
