Randy sells American Birmingham City for $1 billion

[cdbearsfan]

Randy Lerner has completed the sale of the Atrocious Browns for $1 billion. More good work from the man who got £20 million for Stewart Downing!

We will not see cent of it though.

what's with the title? They weren't the Amercan Birmingham City when he owned them, and if you look at their history pre-NFL, a bit like ours pre-Sky it's highly decorated. Birmingham City they ain't.

How do you know ? Perhaps he'll go on another spending spree ??

That would be fantastic but i don't think it will happen.
Maybe a few quid in January but not much else.

The old Cleveland had a decent history but they buggered off to Baltimore.

The new Browns have been consistently useless. Even allowing for expansion teams always being poor, they've been beyond shocking.

I hope he puts 50 million into a new Witton End.   He'll get the money back when/if he sells the club.

Coulde not link the Holte with a new Witton and then a new North Stand leaving the Trinity on its own ? Would give a great atmosphere inside the ground.

The history books say Cleveland Browns. Only the players and management left. The name and history remain in Cleveland.

I assumed that the sale had gone through when it was announced in the summer. I guess there is loads of red tape involved in these things though.

Not sure we need to build more seats at the moment to be honest.

I can't quite see the logic in buidling a new Witton lane?

Congratulations Mr L.  Have a nice retirement.  Oh and lucky that divorce went through before the value was known.  Nice work.

Fill in the gap between the Holte and the Witton then redevelop the North Stand to meet up with the Witton.

I believe that Faulkner has already stated that selling the shitbrowns will not make one iota of difference to Villa.
