[Legion]

For what it's worth, I've referred to him as TOSM plenty of times in the past.

If Oprah came on board she could at least be an Agony Aunt for the players and sort out all their problems so they could perform to their best on the pitch!

Who's Larry Ellison ? Doug's stateside cousin ?
Anyone know who he is or anything about him ?

Da Wiki!

I wish there was some sort of web site where, say, if you wanted to know something about someone, you typed their name in and it told you.

I reckon that'd be a big success,.

What an excellent idea. We could call it Goggle. Or Wickedpedia. Or Ding.

If Ellison did buy us, in terms of rich owners it would blow the Abramovich's of this world out of the water. That is surely the dream outcome - where have the rumours come from that he was there on Saturday?

According to Wikipedia he has placed most of his wealth in a Trust with the intention of giving 95% of it away to charitable causes (I'm assuming we don't count as a charity, despite our generous defending). So he might not exactly have Ambramovichian wealth to spend.

Thanks. Jesus.

I reckon Ellison has the biggest Rose Garden in Texas, and often talks about the day he invented the curve ball pitch.

Legion's Jesus now? I must've missed a Papal Bull.

Collymore mentioned on talksport that thus Ellison dude has been 'around' the club recently

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.

Selling the naming of Villa Park would probably bring in enough money to cover the remaining year of Bent's contract. If that.

He'll do. It only seems like yesterday I was checking out Lerner on Wikipedia and going "tee hee, Randy Lerner what a funny name" like Homer Simpson.

Or a full stop. Period.
