If any potential new owner does their research, let's hope they look and realise that even if they invest, on average, £40m a season as Randy has - they'll still be jeered at the Villa.

2/10 must do better.

I've heard it all now.  We've appointed Keith feckin Harris to manage the sale.  He's a feckin ventriloquist!

Better a jeered owner than a jailed one.

Slapdown, as I believe the kids say.

It still wouldn't be like your lot did when they turned on the Porno Dwarf's son.  Very brave that, picking on children whoever their father may be.

Or wrecking your own ground when relegated.

That's a bit harsh. They caused twenty quid's worth of improvements.

If we are starting from zero base as suggested then I think there's a lot of risk here.

We could very easily not get a takeover done until July. Then we get a manager in. Then he needs to get new players in. It doesn't feel like the right way to start out - but we so desperately need players that I think we'd have to get some.

And that's thinking we get a good owner.

Now now lads,anyway these people wanting to buy villa should look across the city and see a right bargain in my great club that carry s the name of this fantastic city,they could pick us up for £23 million,no debt like villa,premiership fixture and fittings already in place and the only club with a bit of silverware lately around here...they could treble there money in 3 years with only a little investment,you know it makes sense..

They can just wait until you're in administration and buy you for fuck all, like what usually happens.

Premier league fixtures and fittings, apart from the team, 25% of the ground, and the fanbase to rival Huddersfield Town.
