I think if I woke up tomorrow and had become a billionaire overnight, i'd seriously think about buying Villa and immediately closing it down purely so it could never, ever make me unhappy again.
Why not buy small Heath, a jerry can full of unleaded and a box of swan vestas
You'd get change from £20m and have a bloody good bonfire

Hope the opening poster, willywombat, doesn't mind, but I have renamed this thread to more fully reflect the topic.












and in the desperate hope it in someway contributes to making it actually happen, obvs

If I wake up tomorrow and discover I'm a billionaire, the first thing I'll do is have a fried egg on toast, and then I'll go to Wickes and get a new cordless drill. A really good one, with a spare battery.

That's how I roll

I've spent today decorating. As decorators do, I had TalkSport on most of the day.

Their advertisers clearly know how to spot their market. Wickes, tool hire companies, van insurance, fleet management software, and Jacomo, the clothes company for fat blokes.

I've got all those going around my head this evening.

I think you missed a great opportunity to rename it The Thread To Talk About The Takeover Thread and induce a mushroom cloud somewhere near the Pyrenees.

I swear, I just read this post, and a Wickes advert started playing on telly (during 'World War II: The Last Heroes' on the 'Yesterday' Channel, mind, not Wifebeater Sports 3 or wherever they usually advertise).

When will the new owners (whoever) build a North Stand with a rolling cover over the pitch?
It's about time.
God knows, we have suffered long enough, etc etc.
