If the Sheikh did restore our glory he would be a Qatar hero!

Until I see new owners and  heaps of £££s being spent on players with ability, the right attitude and a winning mentality I will not get excited by any takeover rumours.

And there is a distinct possibility that he may look to acquire Villa. I will check with my sources again on Saturday to see if there are any new developments from this side."[/i]

If it's a Chinese consortium, I can see it all going horribly Wong.

I hope we are taken over by a rich fella from Abu Dhabi, just so that I can do my Fred Flinstone impression

Abu Dhabi doooooo!

No, it's definitely a sheik from Qatar.

If it goes wrong it will be our very own Qatarmess

The Generals comment that one time still sticks in my craw, when questioned about Lerner's commitment he wrote

'Randy has a tattoo of the AVFC crest on his ankle, how many other Villa fans can say THAT?'

As if that's all you have to do to be a dedicated Villa supporter.

Beavis: Oh yeah, well I'm gonna get a tattoo of a butt, on my butt!
Butt-head: Oh yeah, well I'm gonna get a tattoo of a butt that has a butt-shaped tattoo on it. And I'm gonna get it right on my butt!
Beavis: Yeah, me too!

Not sure why some dislike the Citeh and Chelsea approach - the system that enables football to be horribly distorted, yes I hate that.

We are where we are, but given that is how it is then I want my club to benefit rather than see someone else 'buy' success.

As Mark Radcliffe, he of Radio 2 etc and a Citeh fan said: "if you now need a massive pile of case, then best have a bigger pile of cash than everyone else (especially United)."

I wished it wasn't so but I would rather see an expensively assembled Villa squad play great football and win games and trophies than what is currently served up.

Give me the choice of a genuinely level playing field and I will vote for that but until then ...

Qatar you all talking about? A buyer isn't going to come in any time soon and Sheikh this shambles up. We need a rich arab Dubai this club though, if you Saudi performance on Saturday you'd know we're going to be in trouble... just you Kuwait and see.

I don't know based on the apparent competancy displayed by Lerner and Faulkner, I'm sure they could be talked into exchanging the club for some magic beans.
Very good.

If we got taken over by two Chinese and it went tits up that would be two Wongs.

They don't make a Whyte who got it all Wong at Wangers.

Rumor has it the this Qatari billionaire is going to be at the Blackburn game, to see the club he didn't fancy and the one he's next looking at buying.
