Its even more fun than new manager plane spotting in fairness.

I loved that one, that was great. You know, if we do get new owners, and ones who operate with a normal balance of openness and secrecy, I'm going to miss this desperately trying to work out what the hell Lerner's doing. Joining up very widely spaced dots gives you lots of space for any amount of line bending.

If that makes any fucking sense. Christ it's late.

Perfect sense. Anshultz is just as secretive from what i have read on him so could be fun.

It would make sense. If there is a new owner, for us not to know his name would be an extraordinary feat of surreptitiousness. The combined powers of two Lerners could keep anything quiet.

That was yesterdays news!  We won't know anything for sure until tomorrow or perhaps tonight if Randy instructs Brian Doogan to release a statement on his behalf.

don't like to say I am ITK but I heard a consortium of Harry Hill, Rowan Atkinson, Chris Barrie, & Rik Mayall  are coming in for us,
No change there then, because the last two years we have had a bunch of comedians in charge anyway !!!    :'(

I have heard that Tom Hanks is involved as the new kit advisor - he has shares in a company that produces protective underwear - apparently Bertrand has been wearing said garment this season - Tom (a confessed Villa fan)  stated that  "he was proud to be associated with saving Ryan`s Privates"

You would have thought the James Brindley would have been attractive to developers given its location, its been empty for ages.

Oh, carry on.
