I thought 'crocodile shoes' was a pretty good hit

I remember us playing Arsenal a few days after he got sent to prison, and us singing "Are you watching from your cell?"

Tony's the footballing equivalent of Leonard Sachs, using an arcane and verbose mode of speech to harp on about the good old days. Plus he's an ugly cnut.

I remember "what a waste of carrots" when he returned.

Mr Adams and Mr Smith interested in establishing an international network that would create "a long supply chain of playing talent", a source said.

So we are a going to be a device for making lots of money for these guys through player sales?

It just shows how seriously underpriced we are at 150 mill, especially with the increase in Sky cash coming along. They are the kind of conditions that led ManU to be saddled with the Glazers. The only defence we have is that we are 100% privately owned and as long as the owner chooses not to sell to this prick we are safe.

Pat Murphy on 5Live has just reported that this consortium is the leading contender for Villa in front of the Chinese. He didn't mention anything about they still had to raise the £150m, but Smith knows Lerner evidently and Smith used to be Chelsea's director of football who sued them for wrongful dismissal. Definitely sounding like a get rich quick merchant.

Is this something that Pat Murphy "understands" or does he have it from Lerner or Fox?

Tony fucking Adams? Well that's the most underwhelming thing I think I've ever heard. I'd rather still have Lerner and Tom Fox, thanks.

If our new owners are moronic enough to think that having their bid fronted by a gargantuan fuckwit like Tony Adams gives it credibility, then God help us.
