I think so but my memory of the General is warped by jumping up and down with him and kissing him on the top of his head that wonderful wonderful night when Der Hammer pulled out his big one against the knuckledraggers.

Wonderful day we threw it away and drew 2-2?

If one moment in time can be pinpointed as to where it all started to come crashing down, that was it.

Do you mean Stoke under Pubehead TV? The 2-2 against sha was before Randy.

yeh sorry I'm getting confused. When I see that score, I just have flashbacks of "that" game.

[adrenachrome]

Extending the much used analogy that RL was like Nero, fiddling while Rome burned,  I tried to start a rumour that Randy would appoint his horse  to the board like that Caligula chappy. Awful film that, but Helen Mirren was in fine form.

Get with the story. We can't afford a horse, but we've got plenty of donkeys.

First Mervin King and now Gestede appointed to the board How low have........

Never say no neigh never.

Sorry, the jumping up and down with the General was our 5-1 over the Noses in April 2008. I merged the memory accidentally with the win over the stripeyfilth when Tommy scored. Put it down to old age and my habit of posting without googling the actual facts.

It's alright Bri, Der Hammer did bring out the big gun against the rags, but it was spoiled by them getting an equaliser which is celebrated down there in the same way we celebrate winning the European Cup.

Largely on account of Hitz doing absolutely nothing else in the game other than score.

Like every time he played centre mid.

That still would make him a massive upgrade on Westwood...

[Holte L2]

I'm probably playing a broken record.  But what about Fan Ownership?

It works for Barcelona, Real Madrid, The Bundesliga and Galatasary and Fenerbache.

Could we get it to work at Aston Villa, with the backing of the AVST as a movement?

Indeed he would. I've said this before but the fact that a player as superbly shit as Westwood has managed to play over 100 league games for us just about sums up this great club's decline over the last 6 seasons. In years gone by he'd have been sussed out after a dozen or so games and shuffled off out the door to Northampton Town or MK Dons where he belonged.

Even if you had 100,000 fans signed up, we'd have to put a grand in each to be able to compete with Stoke for two or three years. So it's a "no", from me.

Not necessarily. Some section of our support are wealthier than others. Supporters would have the option of buying as many shares as they liked, with the objective of raising capital. We'd also have other sources of income via commercial revenue to invest in the playing squad.
At the end of the day, Doug ran the club for 24 years without putting his own money in and that was before big money TV deals for the most part.
In order to form a board, shareholders would stand for election for various positions. With an election for Chairman taking place every four to five years and if the fans wanted more signings beyond out self generated income levels, it would be up to them to raise the money themselves as we'd own the club and would be accountable.

A football club? I'm not mental.

I'd feel safer putting my money into a Cypriot bank.
