Randy Lerner

[Risso]

Surely someone would want to buy though there are less clubs than us that have buyers wanting them , fuck with Blues have people interested.If no one does want the club then we really are in trouble

Yes, but just look at the sort of people being linked with Small Heath.
Or do you fancy a bit of Venky's?
Things are bad now, but believe me, they could be a whole lot worse.

We're doing a Venky's, just a bit more slowly.  Hard to say who knows the least about football, that silly bint from Venky's who said she knew about football because she watched the World Cup, or Lerner.

He needs to dip his hand in his pocket.

He needs to dip his hand in his pocket.

Trouble is, he's got short arms and deep pockets...

The Villa have a fantastic heritage, one of the genuine institutions of English football, both Football League and Premier league founders, have a strong fan base averaging 40k recently, great ground and facilities and have experienced success at the highest levels.

And still we have not really fulfilled our 'potential' as a club.

They'll be plenty interested the day Randy decides to sell up - but it's his asking price that'll be the key.

He should sell for less than he bought it for. He has no interest in us at all, same as the Browns, sell now lerner and get the fuck out of our club. Just my tattoed, loving the club, fed up point of view.Not Lamberts fault by the way, Lerner and Faulkener can go fuck my stick. UTV.

The sad thing is if Lerner had given all that money to the right manager instead of MON we'd have at least the potential to be bigger than Citeh are now. The mistake we made was thinking Lerner would or could go again after Attempt No.1 failed. Dare i say it, if he'd been a bit more ruthless like Citeh or chelsea and chopped MON after 2 seasons we may have made it.

So Randy has made us cut our costs, and assuming we avoid relegation,  the amount of revenue from the tv deals increases significantly,  therefore meaning more profitability. Lower wages and more income. Why would he sell now? Without doing anything the AVFC franchise will be worth more than ever before.

Deloitte top 20 baby!

The only way we'll avoid relegation is by being brave and getting quality players in now. Failure to this and everything else gies out of the window.

As long as Qatar remain without an English club, then there's a potential buyer for us. Like Abu Dhabi, they won't want to buy the finished article, because there's little challenge there. As a club and as a city, there is huge potential here, never mind what the national media tells you. And it would delight the likes of Qatar no end to acquire something with real pedigree and history (which they crave in the Gulf) and turn it into something that will put others' noses out of joint - just like Abu Dhabi did with Man City. Would we lose our soul? Yes. Is it better than what we've got? I'll leave that one up to you to answer.

More chance of the state of Iran buying in.

So the response from our owner and Chairman to the recent disasters ?

Thats right nothing, no new signings, nothing zilch f all. So we go into the most important game of the season with the same squad that are without doubt not good enough for this league.
