'Larry D Lamb Investments close to takeover of Aston Villa.'

Larry the Lamb?

Is Mr. P.N. Gwin part of the consortium also?

Looks a bit of a Leisure Suit Larry to me (one for you classic gamers out there).

If this is true, let's hope he's got some 'New Tricks' up his sleeve.

I played when I was 10. The sole aim was to shag prostitutes from my sketchy memory??

I always thought Larry Lamb was a kit stealer, maybe he's done a reverse Dave and confused them with us.

That's about the extent of what I can remember as well, but seemed very risky in a pre-internet or GTA age.

A few days after a possible takeover is revealed, it's always three bidders in the running.
Weird, almost like the press is guessing.

Having read the US media article about RL on another thread, I think Lerner is likely to cock up the sale even if there is anyone interested.

The only link to Larry d Lamb investments on Google is this one.

They're more commonly referred to by their preferred acronym LIDL. The teams they buy end up playing in blue. Careful what you wish for.
I've been had. What a fucking dope.

The press? Guessing about what's going on at The Villa? Who'd have thought eh...?!
