if u look at the reasons it does make sense.

If true i would love it , blowing man city and utd out of the water and getting the top world stars in claret and blue would be marvellous after so many barren years , we may even tempt greg down to the ground , bring it on -enjoy it while it lasts mancini coz jose mourinho s claret and blues are coming to get you!

Now where did put that other bottle?

I have been following this "The man that can" and i have to tell myself it cannot be possibly true. Cause if it did not happen i would be even more depressed than i am already ..........PS. People who say they would not like Villa to end up like Man CIty get real. My mate of 20yrs who is a Man City fan has never been so happy he even goes up the bar on a regular basis now !!!!!!!

we are quite like the old city at the moment mid table not going any were i seem to remember city being in that positon
look at these reasons
1. Randy has scrapped plans to re-develop the North Stand.
2. The wage bill has been cut by nearly £500k p/w
3. 17 players left in last summers window.
4. Randy not being as present at Villa Park as he used to

No problem seeing why randy would sell, but why would they want to buy us ? Hope it happens though

That all has the distinct air of utter bollocks. But god damn you I still got a little bit excited.

Having said that, after Mystery Man's rumours over the summer I'm going to exit this thread and believe it when I see it.

Hasn't Lerner expressly denied the selling on rumours?

I think if someone's coming on here to plug another site they could at least ask us first.

Espanyol and Villareal could get Cuellar this month according to one of today's tabloids ... probably rubbish then, but just passing it on! The same rag has us chasing a player from AZ in Holland called Brett Holman, an Aussie. Yeah, right!
