[caster troy]

I just had a Twitter notification that Mat Kendrick and Stan Collymore just started following that Larry Ellison guy.

Maybe they are both looking to buy some PC software?

Ellison is also one of the people tipped to buy the LA Clippers

Deal is done, Lambert knows it. Job done, he cut the spend and kept us up. Only doing what the boss wanted, anything more was a bonus.
We all move forward separately.

One of the key groups looking at them is also led by Magic Johnson who has close links to LA off course. I think he'll get it.

I reckon Randy might sell the name of the stadium to finance the player purchases. The purse will be opened and Lambert will be backed. I hope this isn't the case though as I want a new everything. Can't help thinking that Lambert has already got deals lined up. We'll soon see.

Things will move pretty fast after the Spurs match I think, as they did two years ago. The club has been sold to a new owner. I don't think things look good for Lambert as it's clear Lerner hasn't bothered to consult with him much over his intentions, so i think the new owners will bring in their own manager.

What difference would it make if he had consulted Lambert?

It would have given Lambert the chance to pitch for his job with the new owners?

So the hull game may have been the last game Villa park is officially known as villa park ? I know it will always be Villa Park but you know what I mean .

There won't be any news coming from that Twitter account, 46.6k followers but only one tweet, in 2012.

Dang! Must have been a good tweet!

Why decorate your house when someone else wants to buy it and decorate it to their own taste once they move in? Just cut the fuckin grass and fix the front gate.

This is my wife's excuse for not ripping out the yellow and green 1970's Villeroy & Boch bathroom. I have to close my eyes while I am having a piss

Our vendors treated us to a bathroom in peach (including his 'n hers wash basins) with floral, washable wallpaper. Every visit was a re-run of that bad trip I never had. Still, it was a great excuse for us to design and budget for a total remake  (with a triple over-spend that was worth every penny once we reminded ourselves of out predecessors taste).

What price an Alan Hutton makeover? Priceless.

Larry? Not sure about being owned by a bloke called Larry.

I voted the 3rd option above, I reckon it will be an inane statement about wage levels being manageable and renewed investment giving Lambert the opportunity to go again, acknowledging the proud history of the club and marching onwards to a erm.... bright future.

No worse than being owned by a bloke called Randy?

Erm, I think you win that one mate! I concede!

He would need an interpreter that can speak mumble.
They will have done the research including working out the Fans opinion from this and other sites.
New owners and he is toast.
