I for one welcome our Communist overlords.

I'd welcome Satan himself if he made this never ending rubbishness go away.

Trevor Francis?

Steve Hodge?

[Fred Crump]

If he's a rational man if he's anything like most Villa fans he'll constantly be sacking managers

Well I know for a fact he can sack managers as I worked for him 20 years ago and he sacked me. If he comes within 100 yards of VP I will be off to support Walsall for the duration. There's no way he is getting a penny of my money, Villa or no Villa. Not that I'm bitter or anything.... !

Steve Hodge?

Now now, there's no need for that sort of language.

When I read consortium, I interpret that as "Group of individuals not rich enough to own the club themselves but sufficiently rich to have egos which are likely to rub up against each other" therefore avoid.

Unfortunately some will see buying us as a money making opportunity even if we ultimately finish up bankrupt. These people have no scruples  or conscience they just worship money and to he'll with everyone else.

Yup. With a lot of the chancers who pick up clubs you'd almost hope that they were looking to launder, rather than make, money.

[PeterWithe]

Isn't the point of laundering money to make at least part of it available to spend in the future, buying a football club with dirty money invariably means you never see any of it again.

The West Ham owners made their wealth from "Pregnant Asian Babes" and similar filth.  I would call that dirty money.

Their reward has been to be given a new taxpayer funded stadium and the proceeds of the sale of Upton Park and in 10 years time West Ham itself.  What an incredible illustration of contemporary values.

Who is this  Damian Comolli ? Sounds like a baddie in a DC comic
