Isn't the answer to this:

Why is it so surprising for someone that has £250 million at stake taking a 7 hour flight to check on his investment.

this:

I think it is more surprising that he stays away so much.

If you get my drift?

Hmmm? 21 key of the door. Key? Door? Somebody who lives in the Florida Keys will be coming through our door?  Nah.  Twentyone is an anagram of What no tent. The arabs are coming the arabs are coming. Praise the Lord. Sweep the car park.

Perhaps I am reading more into it than it merits but it is try to make sense of what is happening to our club however you can and with fragments of information or allow the silence and secrecy to drive you mad. Something's afoot. I hope.
21 Brian 21 trust me.

hes giving villa to his son on his 21st birthday. The son will no doubt fuck it up more and then sell on

Twentyone is not an anagram of what no tent. I'm taking this very seriously.

Twitter guru IncogAVFC saying today that a "colleague" of his spoke to Robin Russell and confirms that the original bid was in fact from Larry Ellison's Oracle group.

 ;D yeah.

What we need is an Arab with enough camels to fill the north stand car park - then we might stand a chance!

Would not fancy having to sweep the car park then.

Looked him up on wiki, no idea, Lovejoy!

Found Dukes of Woburn; Current one, no connection that I can see.


Unless you mean our acting CEO and CFO.
The only other members of our senior management are Randy and the General, the latter who boldly went 4 years ago.

Feeling rather like a fief in a fiefdom at the moment.

How long were Valencia waiting for their takeover? It must be close to a decade.
