Admin been to Barbados? His luck must have changed for the better since he last PMd me. November whatever year makes sense because the upcoming window gives the opportunity for change we desperately need.

time to cheer up. Admin is back from Barbados and has news of a new name in the frame for fellow TBAR acolytes. But he's not revealing it just yet, because he has a lot of post to catch up on, and it needs ratifying by another source first. Who needs London Boy!

Has he really put that?

You won't be laughing when dan confirms it.

They are miles off the pace. Kamp an Ollie G were last weeks TITKBARS prediction. They chartered a Bell helicopter to fly in and booked a hotel at Belbroughton. The meeting was to be in secret at famous midlands golf club but the name of it slips my mind.

Well he got his last two 'announcements' spectacularly wrong, so maybe he's going for the hat-trick.

I've just found out that the new owner will have at least one leg and probably at least one arm.

We should all chip in and buy it, however we'd get through a lot of managers
This is a brilliant idea. I'll email BOA Merrill Lynch immediately with our offer of a flag and scarf for life.
Randy would have the satisfaction of knowing the club is safe in the hands of 40 odd thousand custodians.
The takeover could be complete in a couple of days as there would be no need for due diligence because we all know Aston Villa is priceless.
We have enough people on here with the expertise to run the club. the initial make up of the board and staff would be along these lines.
 Chairman. Mr. D. Woodhall.
CEO. Legion.
Manager. Ads.
Club Chaplain. Archbishop Cockthrottle.
Kit Design. Marshall.
DOF. We'd all take it in turns.
If you have any objections to any of the above names please make them known along with your alternative, similarly if you have any suggestions for other positions.
Important things that need to be done immediately are 1. Rename the the Doug Ellis stand the 26 May 1982 stand.
2.Make it a rule for away fans to kneel and offer thanks at the foot of the McGregor statue before they are admitted to the shrine.
3. Sir Alex, Jose Mourinho and 'arry Redknapp to sit in the Holte End when their clubs visit us.
4. The supporters of Aston Villa no longer to be referred to by the Club as customers.
5. Decent local ales on sale inside the ground.
6. The club to be run as a Utopian Cooperative with every supporter regardless of age, sex, race, religion, taste in music or political persuasion to have an equal say in the running of the club.
