Odd timing to be honest, but can't complain.

If anything this should confirm ETH remains in charge until summer

Best Christmas present ever, seemingly, amongst all the ineptitude the Glazers are quite a romantic bunch!.

I can see why they wanted to announce it before Christmas. The fans are absolutely on the floor and they know it.

Shambles it's taken this long tbh. This should have been sorted in July/August. Maybe the positivity could have had an impact on the season. Bit late now.

Good timing after another defeat tbh.

I saw on sky a few minutes ago. Seems Jim wanted it done now so he can sort out the mess of transfers last few years especially.

It is Christmas Eve, take it as a win and be happy. I will have a few beers on this announcement myself.

Great time to release that news, no real news coverage over the next few days, it’s classic pr strategy

Good timing after another defeat tbh.

At the moment it would be hard to time it to happen after any other result, to be fair.

Hopefully we'll see a 'new minority owner bounce' against Villa – we're gonna need it

posted on 24/12/23

Not surprising to any of us I’m sure, but a welcome announcement.

Let us hope this ‘upstairs’ finally starts being run properly.

Fire Ten hag, do it tomorrow, just do it.

We'll only get 25% of a bounce. It'll be like when you drop a deflated football in a puddle.

It is indeed a good Christmas present for the fans.
I know most fans don't like the owner/chairman "interfering" with the running of the football side of the business but I hope Sir Jim does. He's got plenty of nous and this doesn't appear to be just a money-making exercise for him (as if hr needs one!)
Sir Jim may seem like Santa at the moment but he is not the Christmas Fairy so things on the pitch will not magically change immediately.
But yes, Merry Christmas to all our fans.
