Fans Worried Over Villa Future

[peter w]

Jesus H Christ. The fucking Aussies weren't joking when they said that 87  was the friggin devils number.

[Sir Ashlyn Gere]

Anyone for tennis?

Everyones banging on about the money but at the moment thats a white elephant. What if we were to get £20 m given to us. By the time we can spend it come Jan, we may be in a right mess in the league. What good the money then? Who will want to join a team in the midst of a relegation battle. A few journeymen maybe, but nobody who we'd expect to see bring the club onto the next so-called level. I am worried. Still. That we shouldn't be worried by talk of a takeover. I honestly Doug should say To the bejaysus brothers, that he will sell up, but the actual date for the transfer of shares will be on the final day of this season. We need a little bit more solidity in and around the club to get us away from this mess. This really isn't the time for boardroom upheaval IMO. Manager unsure of his future, players unsure of theirs, a footbal team that appear directionless. I really do worry about this season. How long has it been since we go into nearly every game worried, or convinced that we'd lose. The Wigan result was an eye opener if ever there needed to be one. Just beat the shit, everyone should've been up. 0-2 at home is relegation standard. We're in serios trouble on the pitch and no amount of takeovers, and Irishman are going to change that this season.

From Beeb website

Aston Villa have confirmed there has been a "preliminary approach" regarding a takeover of the club.

More to follow it goes on.

Am I the only one nervous about this? Not the more to follow bit, but Irish Property consortia? I don't like it. In fact I'd say I was worried.

[peter w]

Ellis revealed: "We have had an approach, and it is interesting, there is no doubt about that. But it isn't finalised. We are still working on it. I hope to be able to let people know more within the next month."


Does this mean we have to stick with VFC until everything is signed sealed and delivered? At what point will they say thats us done? What if everyone who Ellis tries to allow to take over the club is found out to be a cad or a scoundrel? Will they say we want Doug to go, but wish to support him find the best buyer for Villa. Or will they say , you should have sold to Ray, Now with the Irish make our day, unless Doug can't keep the Russians at bay, we'd even take Peter Kaye, chonge our badge from a lion to a blue jay,but if this doesn't happen by 6pm today, Big Bad Doug will pay.....hooray.

Morning, Peter!

[peter w]

Morning legion.' cept its afternoon here. Am I the only one worried? :-k

So, if you see a bunch of demoralised England players playing in Pakistan blame a couple of girls.

61-6 at lunch says it's more than a couple, what else did they do them?

Well the missus turned down Shaun Udals offer to take her out to dinner. Despite the fact that he's married with 3 kids! Maybe he's more popular than we'll all imagined, and his rejection, and thus dejection, has affected the team more than we could poosibly of thought. Maybe its also because they've dug up the dead ex Palestinian leader and got him bowling thats thrown them too.

[peter w]

Ashley Judd seems to have gotten over his humiliation as he strides confidently to 22 not out.

Don't talk too soon.

Udal won't last soon. He's still get the rejection to get over.

[Drummond]

Looks like Shaun Udal has been trying to 'bowl a maiden over' and peter w has every right to be slightly upset.

[peter w]

I'm more upset that my miisus can only pull an ugly frigger like Shaun Udal. What does that say about me? To be fair though, they all look like they fell out of the ugly tree and smashed their faces into every branch on the way down.

[peter w]

Nothing being sent down from the VFC field, no back up from my team mates. This is going to be a long vigil. But I'll get there. 11 runs to go.
