£750m sponsorship deal? Ridiculous.

Aston Villa owner Randy Lerner, after trying to offload the club, is said to be energised about taking the team forward having brought in former Arsenal commercial director Tom Fox as CEO.
Nevertheless, there is speculation billionaire Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, the richest owner in the NFL whose Seattle Seahawks have reached back-to-back Superbowls, could be interested in buying Villa.
Allen, who was in talks to buy Southampton in 2007, part-owns MLS side Seattle Sounders. Villa are sceptical about any bid but a source involved with Allen’s investment vehicle Vulcan said: ‘This is Americans talking to Americans.



Maybe if Allen takes over we can go from spotting Randy's jet at BHX to the whereabouts of the Starship Enterprise. It would certainly widen our scouting network. Take that Wenger you prick with your African academies. We'll have schools on Adelphous IV and Kronos.

Presumably Wolves were scouting Kronos when they signed Joleon Lescott.

I haven't seen a great deal to suggest that Randy is energised again. The fact he seems oblivious to Lambert's terrible reign is evidence of this.

If this is Randy being "energised", god help us when he gets detached.

I think "energised" is just another Star Trek reference, and a commentary on how Randy travels these days. It's probably why Lambert is the only person who sees him around Villa Park and Bodymoor and nobody else does because he can beam down as and when he pleases.

Can Paul Allen get a move on, then we can make Seattle Sounders our nursery club.

Paul Allen can make a start by putting this on Ebay:



"Allen snapped it up for $200 million in 2003 and it costs $20 million a year to run."

TV you could be close to the mother lode of punnery. The thought of our beloved owner being beamed down by Scottie made me laugh and that is a rare occurrence these days.

I think there's a much stronger chance of Randy having his Villa tattoo removed on the pitch at half time, and having another one of a Shunammite woman done on his arse.
