Manager sacking and buying should only be allowed in the transfer window.

Much more fun.

I'd go further.

No changing of management or squad members after the first game of the season has kicked off.

You've made your bed, now lie on it.

Wouldn't have made any difference to us, but it would have seen Norwich stay up at the expense of either Sunderland or Swansea.

He's buying Aston Villa not a paper shop

 I wish someone had've told that to Randy before he took the plunge...

Yes. Choose your leaders and place your trust.

I reckon you must have some sort of bat signal.

Probably a red, white and blue disc appears in the sky.

I think Hollis wanted to let the fans know what was happening in relation to the takeover and may have been a little hurried with the original 'they own five companies' error on the initial statement. I suspect the whole saga normally takes this long, that there is nothing wrong with the deal, that the financial details were handed in last Monday but it takes time to talk between different countries and cultures. In the meantime, Tony chats excitedly but because it's doesn't happen within a week, one twat of a talk sport journo takes a punt and tells us that there are obstacles and tries to gain some exposure. I think the deal WILL go through, that RDM will be appointed in the next week.

It was amazing how he went from on the rocks, to ok but obstacles, to assured of the finance etc. Basically I think the league are looking hard at Banfil and Samuelson, and rightly so.
