Aston Villa fans´ groups are warning the club will be contemplating life in the Championship rather than Europe unless there is major investment sooner rather than later.

Villa Fans Combined (VFC) are sceptical about the strength of a possible takeover bid that under-fire chairman Doug Ellis and the board of directors are considering. Ellis said at Friday´s annual general meeting that he hoped to let shareholders know within a month whether initial interest from a group of potential investors will have sufficient substance to be considered viable.

VFC spokesman Jonathan Fear said: "Everyone was pleased to win the derby against Birmingham on Sunday but overall the club is going to keep on going backwards unless it receives some big investment in the near future."


So lets start from the beginning because I got lost half way through, whats da big idea!


It's like Les Dawson's piano playing, playing all the right notes but not necessarily in the right order. Either that, or Jonathan Fear is being misquoted.
I really do wish Jonathan would come on here and have a chat.

I got rather upset at the 'shall I close the thread' comment because I had just managed to read to here and wanted to post something. Imagine my horror after reading all the preceding trolling, flaming, flooding, gobbing, sucking, camping and thumping if it had indeed been locked. That woulkd surely have been spoiling?


Oh shit, now I have forgotten what my point was, I guess I'll have to re-read it all again.

Your mixing your vintage comedy quotes/comedian's to suit your own puns, Kelly.  That just won't do.

Everyone knows it was Eric Morcambe that knew all the right notes, not necessairly in the right order.   As for Dawson, he just had two left hands.

Thanks USAV.

I had a feeling it was Eric and not Les but due to tiredness, couldn't be bothered to check.

Speaking of Eric Morecombe - care to name his Villa connection?

Eric, Luton Town’s most famous fan, presented Ron Saunders with his Manager of the Year Award in 1981, Mr Preview.

I believe Mooney’s still in denial about that one.

Err...Morecambe play in the same league as Tamworth who were once managed by Paul Hendrie who is the father of Lee hendrie who occasionally plays for Villa?
