Bronze statue of a lion going up somewhere?

Usually one each side of the drive on a modest semi-detached and some off coloured double glazing.

For those not on twitter can someone summarise what this news is.

They’re putting up a bronze lion statue somewhere around the ground. It’s a teaser trailer so you don’t see the whole thing - it says coming soon.

It's basically footage of some welders (which initially raises hopes of a North Stand redevelopment) quickly followed by an artistic lady looking thoughtful, and moulding clay into something that looks like a lion's mane. It's not worth joining X for.

It's your typical Chris Heck era Villa social media post.

Made out to be a big announcement so you think it might be about redevelopment or something big but it turns out to be a a load of fuss over very little. probably to be erected on top of the old North Stand as the headstone for the dead redevelopment.

Future post predictions:

- the head is too big
- the paws are way too small
- it looks like a slightly camp stray cat
- it's facing the wrong way
- it doesn't look scary at all
- it should be rearing up at a different angle
- the colour is all wrong

They'll blame Trump for that.

- I don’t understand why it’s got a swastika on its chest

- Why can I hear it talking to me but nobody else can?

- It should have been of Ron Saunders

A bare-chested Ron Saunders riding on top of a slightly camp lion.

A bit like that photo of Vladimir Putin on a horse, but with Saunders looking way more manly.

My prediction is a lion with the face of Eamonn Holmes.

A bare chested, manly, Ron Saunders riding a satanic Ozzy, huge batwings outstretched. Clutching McGregor's letter in one talon and the European cup in the other.

Don't tell me that wouldn't tick all the boxes.
