Sunday Times:
Doug Ellis's Aston Villa are on the brink of a £64.4m takeover by
£1bn property company the Comer Homes Group, owned by Irish
brothers Brian and Luke Comer. The deal is said to be in advanced
stages and could be sealed as early as Wednesday. The the new
owners have pledged to plough 20% of the group's yearly profits
into the Birmingham club's squad and stadium. That should give
Villa a minimum of £20m a season. The frontman for the consortium
is Michael Neville, a Solihull-based businessman and lifelong Villa
supporter, who will be responsible for the day-to-day running as
executive chairman, with octogenarian Ellis staying on in a
non-executive capacity.
