Judging by their numbers (well lack of them), they need it.

I hope he has a cooler mustache than either the fulham or cardiff owners.

Not seen the Fulham mustache but I have heard that they sell replicas of Vincent Tan's in the Cardiff club shop.

They used to before somebody mistook it and called in Pest control.

Eastie has a fair bit to say on that site, said nothing in here so far.

Heard/read some banal, unsubstantiated rumour about a takeover on FB last night. I assume this is simply a rehashed version as that site is blocked at work.

It's Red Bull, we're changing our name and will be RICH beyond our WILDEST DREAMS.

GO RED BULL VILLA! GO!

File under twaddle. For one thing, Randy has to want to sell and I'm not sure he does.

[ROBBO]

Well it wouldn't be a huge suprise would it, hope theres something in it simply because the club needs a fresh start from top to bottom.

Look at that 'tache!

Probably bull, but Villa at the moment feels like the end of the Ellis era when the club was being run on a shoestring in preparation for the sale of the club.

I daren't get my hopes up. Knowing our luck it'd happen and then we'd find Lambert had inherited 200m and was the new owner

What does he get from the club though? There's no money in it. No accolades. Not much recognition for things that he has done right, it's all washed over by the mistakes made in more important places. No success. No entertainment.

It baffles me more why he would want to remain owner than why he would want to sell up.
