Promises were made to Randy by someone unmentioned, which upset him. Says Doug.

Its amazing how little things have changed in 8 years... Were still hanging on DDs statements about an American buyer.

Anyone got a Tardis, cos if this shit happens again in 2022, I need to alert my doctor and possibly my solicitor....

Big D says that he has no idea how long it'll take to sell.

He then says he had heard that the deal is 'done' for 200m

He then says he 'doesn't know'

Less than conclusive to say the least.

Has a quick go at Randolph for breaking some promises. Then wouldn't elaborate.

I get the feeling that he knows nothing but fancies getting on the radio. He didn't mention the bicycle kick.

Doesn't sound very well either.

"I wish I knew frankly I don't. Rumours are its a done deal. The information I have received is its £200M and it's an American. It's in the laps of gods and I don't really know I have just heard. Lerner was a good man." And Doug has just sworn bleeped out.
Went on to talk about not selling the club to someone who was going to borrow money to buy it. That's why he chose Randy.
Said the club is in a good state but football wise in a worse state.
New owners will need £100M on top of award money to fund team.
Lambert has been restricted due to lack of funds.

Of course there will be no transfers or new contracts Nursey you bellend.

I could not have put it better myself.

An article written by a moron for morons who know nothing about our club. If I see the "Villa finished sixth three seasons inn a row" fact again I'm just going to go postal.

Tell us something you DONT know you so-called journalist. Its like he got his facts from his mates at Spurs and wikipedia.

For what its worth what would it cost for a Barca style public buyout ? Say 300 million to buy and refresh the squad .... Say divided by 150,000 shares priced at £2000 each .... And Randy has to give a free share to anyone who was a ST holder for the last 5 years .... Would you buy one ?

That would be like selling your house and then deciding to install a new kitchen.

Nursey should come on here. He'd fit right in the miserablist, no-nothing, self-important, hack.

That surely has got to be MON.

Yes, I promise to reduce the wage bill, to move some players on.

*nothing happens for months and months*

Can I have half a billion pounds to buy Aiden McGeady, please?

As far as the future is concerned he told us nothing we didn't already know, but it was worth it just for the Randy stories, that Dog! Doug's still got it!
