Did he really say he's offered £20 million for players but Randy has turned him down?

Tom Fox said something like that at the Ramsay grave re-dedication - Doug had offered money if it would help, but knowing Doug it was nowhere near the amount he claimed.

And it was also at 250% interest rate.

Good old Doug

I second that - still has the best interest of the team at heart.

The closest thing to Dougs heart?  ££££££££££££££

Accoring to the Beeb article on it this morning he "left £20million in for Transfers" presumably after the sale, in his own head.  Bless him.

A Prized P***k.....Hawked himself round the midlands back in his day to see what prey was lying idle....and The Villa got savaged.

I wouldn't wish ill health on him , but he sound as though his about to appear on the deathwatch thread .

He hasn't looked well for a wee while now (from what I've seen of him). It'll possibly be a case of taking the L & Y out of Deadly Doug in the not-too-distant'...

I'm sure Doug would admit to a few mistakes - but it's worth remembering we had some good times after 1987 - Twice runners up, two League Cup wins and several cracking nights at VP - eg two against Inter Milan etc..

[Witton Warrior]

At least he's not a racist like that cock Whelan from Wigan

That's all I have good to say about Mr E

Reminds me of that episode of "Are You Being Served?" when young Mr Grace offers to throw half a crown into the pot for something

Nice to see Doug donating £100,000 to the QE Neurosurgical Unit following surgery on Steve Stride's son this year.

[john e]

Please, not another Doug debate.

It kills the time

Good on the old boy.

The players concerned probably didn't know how to mow his lawn and trim his hedges.

[CT Villan]

There's no better indicator of the sale to Xia going through than Doug suddenly appearing in the media.
