Villa Park will always be Villa Park, but i'm still against it in principle.

The money wouldn't make a lot of difference anyway.  We'd be nowhere near the £100m Arsenal got from Emirates, never mind the £400m that Citeh are getting.  We'd be lucky to get £50m, which we'd then piss up the wall on middling, average players.

correct.  I would only run with this if it was club changing (100m+) otherwise its a high price...

I wouldn't have the slightest problem with. Someone gives us a few quid, we still call it Villa Park.

"Warren Buffett Field at Villa Park" has a nice ring to it

He has also said amongst other things "Some guy called Paul McGrath has sent 100 copies of his new CD to the offices at the Villain's Soccer Bowl. Will make good ashtrays" and "Heading off to Wembley Soccer Bowl to watch the Aston Villain's players represent the England team against Waleshire".

How likely do you think it is that it's a genuine account?

I think you've just performed the equivalent of an internet dead arm and can rightly proclaim "owned".

Its always good to keep the traditional name of the stadium, however if this means we get some quality players in, so be it, and if we do have to then the Jaguar Stadium sounds good, I assume after the great British Jaguar car, if your going to do it, do it right.

If Jaguar develop their next model and call it The Villa Park series instead of XJ, XF or whatever then they can throw all the ground sponsorship money they like at us.

Difficult to answer the question.  Not accepting implies that altenative action would be taken.

Thinking about it I don't know many outside the media  that call it Villa Park anyway.  Me, I go down the Villa

PS Nothing wrong with Lidl tinned tomatoes
