All these people in a rush to have a non-league club. Patience people, we'll get there in due course.

How much does the yank want for the club? Would it be possible to set up a trust/vehicle/forum, with subscribing members to get the finance together to buy the club? A football club, owned by the members.

A club for people who walk away from something they love when the going gets tough?
No that doesn't appeal to me thanks.

Precisely.

It seems to me that the only people interested in seeing the club be successful, are the only ones that have no say. It is the very opposite of the definition of a club. This is the problem with having an owner, he who pays the piper, calls the tune.

For many I bet it's not just about Villa though, it's about professional football/Premier League football in general.

As is says in the words of the song..."I'm Villa 'til I die".  And by that I mean Aston Villa FC founded 1874.

FC United came across the Pennines a couple of weeks' ago and got stuffed 5-0 by the mighty Harrogate Town.
