Who was it?


It was Naz, and try as I might I couldn't find anything wrong with what he said.


Which was??


"Sounds OK, good price, would like to know a bit more before committing, I am not so worried about the future as I was a couple of weeks ago"

Anyone notice how we've had considerably more news coverage over this than the Ranson episode, yet it appears from all reports that the process is at exactly the same stage as Ransons bid before it was rejected?

Also, I've had a few emails from mates who support other teams saying we're jammy gits for getting the "Irish Abramovich's" to buy us....  it appears that popular opinion is that we're getting a couple of rich sugar daddies...

Dave Woodhall, editor of the Heroes and Villans fanzine and speaking entirely on his own behalf, welcomed the board's careful stance.

"It is important we don't just assume anything is better than Doug Ellis," he said.

"A takeover of the club is only good for Villa if it takes the club forward. Sometimes you have got to be careful what you wish for.

"It could be the best thing for Villa since Ron Saunders came as manager. It could see us take the same road as Chelsea are on now. At the same time, it could see us take the same road as Chelsea pre-Roman Abramovich."

I note with interest that VFC are as eloquent in speech as they are in text. Nice.

That's right don't sit sit on the fence. :-D

Assuming Villa take the former route, paying their way to glory, do you really think that the Comers have anywhere near the financial clout of Abramovich?

Just who is this Dave Woodhall fellow- voice of the people, stiff upper lip and all that?  :-

Does he speak for all Villa fans, those that read fanzines, or for Prince Will only? These questions need answering you know.  O:)

Of course not, although it's not just the money we need, remember the likes of Wolves, Boro, Newcastle, Blackburn, Fulham and further a field, Real Madrid and Dinimo Moscow have all wealthy owners that have invested heavily and achieved very little or nothing in return.

Any fool can spend money but very few can spend it wisely.

Anyone with money can build a better club. It takes a good manager to build a better team.

Yes, I know that but my point is why compare the "Comers Villa" to Ambramovich's Chelsea, we'll never be on that road.
