The Takeover Thread - Recon Group - NOW WITH NEW POLL

[BoskoDjembaSalifou]

I just really, really, really want to see us win a cup. Any cup.

I'm excited about Lerner's announcement but I can't help feeling it's all gonna be one big anticlimax.

Rest easy boys. Cups are on the way. Get the polish on order and the cabinet hinges oiled. Wembley 2015  Manchester City 0 Aston Villa 1 (Bowery 88) (Guzan saved pen 93)

Great! I'll get the London hotel booked straight away. Can't wait!

Sorry - should check before I do - will this be the FA Cup or the League Cup?

I'd love a cup final even if it aint what it used to be when the Banana Splits and Cup Final It's a Knockout used to start the day followed by meet the players' wives...

Good article that. You can tell from the tone of the recent press articles that he's off. Mat in particular has really stepped up his analysis of the club. I'm sure most journos know names, but have probably agreed to hold fire. I reckon we will see a leak this week.

I hope Man City's £50m fine and handicap in next season's CL doesn't put anybody off. Thanks UEFA for trying so hard to pull up the drawbridge.

As much as I'd like us to win 10 CL titles back to back I'd forgo that for 10 years of total domestic domination at his moment in time.

Exactly what I thought. Leaving an ex-Juventus player in charge of "Fair Play" is like leaving King Herod in charge of an orphanage.

I already have 'FA Cup winners 2015' now tattooed on my forehead.

So long as it's the right way round

Well I have cunningly not included Aston Villa anywhere. Genius.

A good article that.  It's written as if he knows thge identity of the new owner.
It's also good to be reminded of the many good things that Randy has done.  Too easily forgotten.

This. I read that and thought 'aw he was alright our Randy', I wasn't exactly thinking like that last week. If he doesn't pass us on though I'll quickly switch. Fickle fans ay.

If Kendrick knew we were being taken over and also had the identity of the new owner, then he would be cashing in on the biggest story of his career.
