Someone who is not cowardly enough to shun his or her responsibilities and deal, quickly and decisively with any mistakes they make. Not hide like a scared child, pretending it isn't happening the other side of the world.

Echoing the above post, someone who creates a culture of responsibility at all levels in the club. No one seems to be accountable, barring one loudmouth manager.

What we need from a new owner, in no particular order: 1)Top class football industry contacts 2)Hunger and ambition to grow Villa to its full potential and the genuine desire to make the Club a major trophy winning force 3) A plan drawn up by people who know what they are doing and 4) The finances to implement said plan at every single stage.

Would you mind awfully doing the capital letters and punctuation thing please? It is only polite.
it takes too long and I keep fucking up, im a one finger typer

Well, if you don't feel too out of place on a forum where 99% of posters make the effort and take the time to communicate effectively then all I can say is, thank you for your response.
I hope this is a wind up , but if not I will be watching youre(whoops) posts like a hawk.
Fuck me, the club is going to hell in a handcart and people are getting pissy over grammar on here and typos. I post mainly from my phone so FFS this is all a bit unnecessary isn't it? Direct your ire at that yank twat Lerner.

I have said elsewhere, but I'll repeat it here. There's no need to use nationality as an insult, or for that matter endless sweary words.

Sweary is cathartic at times, and Christ knows following villa the last few years requires either therapy, or cathartic release. Regardless of nationality Lerner is one stupid, useless motherf*cker, in the parlance of his native land.

That's as maybe, but it doesn't have to be repetitive .

An owner that makes good decisions and especially appointments.

An owner that understands what is required to run a PL football club. Doesn't need to be a football man because there are lots of very good owners and chairman without specific football knowledge. Ultimately be a good leader by employing excellent people in key positions required for the business. This isn't a football comment but a requisite of all successful businesses.

I don't want to cause an endless quotathon but please note that I am not getting "pissy" (indeed, I am being polite and jovial) about grammar or typos. I was asking a poster if he could make the effort to write using proper punctuation (which is a very different thing).

As for the relative importance of my request compared to the 0-6 annihilation of Aston Villa Football Club today, please be advised that I am a competent multi-tasker and am keeping my Randy Lerner wrath-o-meter on full power while posting on this subject. I can also post correctly from my phone.
I missed the joviality, quite possibly due to my dark mood after yesterdays result. My Randy Wrath-o-meter, overloaded and melted down yesterday some time around 7, so I apologise for the short tone of my post.

(Be careful what you wish for )  ;)




Genius.

A couple I disagree with there.

Sullivan and Gold: If you put aside their association with the Blues (and even then I would argue that they left them in a far better state than they bought them), we could do with is owner/s who have the contacts and chutzpah to pull off deals that benefit the club, like the one for the Olympic Stadium.

Pete Winkelman: I can't stand what the MK Dons stand for, but you have to admire the entrepreneurship of someone who has built a stable, moderately successful club where previously there was nothing.
