Aston Villa deal imminent

A deal to sell Aston Villa to a consortium for around £150m is thought to be imminent.  Due diligence has been in progress and the purchasers are just waiting to ensure that the club’s Premiership place is secure.

Because of the impending deal Villa have not made any arrangements for a pre-season tour.   Randy Lerner will make a rare visit to a Villa match when he attends the FA Cup semi-final on Sunday.

It remains to be seen whether new owners can realise the potential of this sleeping giant.
