Interesting that both Faulkner and Lambert are in the dark when Randy tells us that they talk "every day". The other comment I wonder about is the "this week I have seen such loyalty to Aston Villa". Are they connected in some way? The suspense is killing me!
Lambert said they only ever discuss the playing side and that's it

A Fulham supporting friend just texted me to ask if I'd heard that Al Fayed is apparently buying us. Anyone else heard this?

Not a chance, and I'm glad of that.

That would be very bad. Al Fayed means definitely Michael Jackson replacing McGregor in Trinity!

I still reckon his statement will be he's put us up for sale on E Bay

10day No reserve auction with no buy it now

It`s being reported elsewhere that Philip Frederick Anschutz and not Ellinson is reportedly being linked with Villa in the States, apparently co-founded the MLS. (Don`t shoot the messenger).

Ah, that means the cost would be £1 for 9 days 23 1/2 hours. :(

I really hope we are being sold we need a major overhaul of the whole club we're just drifting aimlessly along, there doesn't seem to be any plan whatsoever.  I think the next few weeks will have a big impact on our future if we aren't being sold I think next season we will go down and that team will not bounce straight back.


You have to be really really bad to go down though

I mean we apparently have the worst squad for 50 years,
we went on a 5 game losing streak right at the end of the season,
we have a clueless manager with bully boy coaches who no one likes,
pay peanuts wages for shit players,
 all are best players have long term injuries
an owner that never comes and doesn't care anymore


Yet still we stay up with games to spare

It makes you wonder how much more we can do to make ourselves any rubbisher to try and get over the line next time

No rubbisher. The thing is we could have been relegated with TSM's total or what we have now. Clubs have been relegated with more points than that. Keep getting less than 40 points and we will be relegated sooner or later.

I think the sale is on. The statement will not reveal the new owners but say a deal is close and they will do the grand reveal in a few weeks time.

A TBARer has just said that no less than Sir Graham has said the club is sold on WM. Could anyone confirm this? I hate living so far away from the Holy Land at times like this.
