  1. Its just a distraction for a lot of very 'worried' supporters, though, Mike. Nobody is under any illusion as to the clubs predicament, but if we all sink into the same suicidal gloom we might as well log out and phone the Samaritans. I'm not taking any of the ITK stuff all that seriously, but at some point one of them are going to hit the nail right on the head, however fortuitously, so I'll just go along with it. I was on the phone to the Samaritans last night. When I mentioned that I was going to throw myself under a bus because no one on VT had any positive news on the Villa takeover the girl on the phone ( also a Villa fan) offered to come & join me & told me a number 7 bus was due in 5 minutes. Good job the National Express buses never run on time around here isn't it? Or is it?
  2. I can't believe how many VT members have been suckered in by Mendi. Keith Harris is the guy trying to broker a deal which means that Mendi is probably Orville. If it looks like bullshit. Smells like bullshit. Tastes like bullshit then it must surely be
  3. I notta speakja da englaterra butta I a tella you thatta Randy he a sella soon. I ama notta whatta you would a saya in a the knowa!
  4. Any chance you can get me Mendi's autograph before you bump start his car?
  5. What is the real value of Aston Villa FC though? Many City analysts are claiming that £200 M is a fair price based purely on the fact that Ellis sold his shareholding for £65M & Randy paid £110M all in to buy out all the other shareholders. In other words Villa was sold off too cheaply first time around. More importantly. What price on the potential of Aston Villa? eg say the Quatar group who were allegedly interested in buying Man Utd for £2B suddenly became interested in buying us instead. They could easlly purchase us for £250M without batting an eye lid & that would save them £1.75 B on the purchase cost of a Premier league club which they could then potentially invest into building us into a major force once more. If Randy plays his cards right £200 M should be easily attainable & that's not taking into account that there are many Billionaire's out there with massive ego's just waiting to be massaged.
  6. I believe this too. Since it is reported that there is currently a 6 week time scale with Merrill Lynch to find a buyer that will take us up to Monday 23rd June 2014 at the latest. If we are still in limbo by that date with nothing concrete in the pipeline, then I really will start to become worried for the future of our beloved club.
  7. Please come back tomorrow Mendi you are a star. Your posts are literally unbelievable.
  8. I think he posts on here now under the name of Mendi.
  9. Question - how many times would you need to see (say) Paul Mcgrath play, before you noticed "actually he's bloody brilliant". I'm not saying Okore is in the same class, very very few were or are, but sometimes you can just tell, surely? it's harder withduff signings, as some come good after a time to settle - Bouma, for example. For me Okore looked classy, Kozak terrible, if I'm honest. Now I don't ever "give off stink" to people who hold a different view, and most people don't. So what I'm saying is if you take people at face value, and their views the same, there's less need to seemingly put other motives onot people who hold different views. Agree with some of that, as certain players are obviously very easy to brand exceptional talents in 20 minutes. Cristiano Ronaldo comes to mind when he debuted against Bolton all those years ago, Eden Hazard after a few games, Wayne Rooney, Ross Barkley at the start of this season when I started paying attention to him and so on. It's also easy to see who is never going to make it, like Brett Holman and his 9th division rapist touch. However, putting Okore in the former category is futile. He has played in the Danish division where he has never been matched with top players, he played for Nordsjælland in the Champions League where they let in 22 goals in six games and he played a few minutes for us before he got injured. He looked ok, it looked like he could manage the level - but it's not like he shut the shop and performed wonderfully in those games. Does he have the ability to become better than Baker and Clark? Certainly. But to mention anything else right now is pointless, nobody here knows how good he is and the most important thing is to get over this injury. MANY players struggle to become half the player they could have been after such an injury, especially when it happens at the stage in your career where you are still developing. I do have high hopes for him though, I sincerely wish he will rehabilitate and become a solid defender in the Premier League. One of Okore's biggest assets is his ability to play out from the back. When you have a player like Nathan Baker filling in what option do you have other than telling him to hoof it? How many times has he been guilty of misplaced passes & conceding possession through poor concentration & judgement last season? The evolution of Lambert's passing game has suffered largely because of Okore's absence. Okore has a wonderful passing range & is totally comfortable on the ball. This is why I wished other Villa fans here on VT would go a little bit easier in apportioning blame on Paul Lambert not just in his results but in what I believe to be a necessary playing style due to circumstance. Paradoxically I believe they should be praising Lambo for his adaptability.
  10. Randy Lerner - " Are you sure you wouldn't prefer the chop instead? "
  11. They are assuming that potential new owners will be at the restaurant. Imagine the disappointment if the potential new owners are in fact at the restaurant because it is the actual restaurant it self that they are buying & nothing else.
  12. I think Paul Lambert would represent Moses. I can just imagine him seeking major investment, turning to Randy & saying: "Let my people go again."
  13. I think the expected issue is that Lamberts preparation for a new season - will conflict with Lerners cost cutting - so a parting of the waves is highly likley based on that. Surely that means Moses will be there too then? Apparently not. Something to do with him being a bit of a basket case I think.
  14. Yes - but weve been starring down the relegation Barrell in a couple of Jan windows - and Lerners has provided nothing to protect his investment. What I really fear and I sense we are moving towards is that Lerner has to appoint another manager whilst we are still up for sale. Or he could promote Sid and Shay. - We really aren't in a good place. All possibilities being covered then Lambert's short term demise would surely result in just that, immediate internal promotion of Cowans & Given. In a worst case scenario of no take over & limited funds being made available then I would have every sympathy for whom ever was in the managerial hot seat but I truly hope Lambert remains in such circumstances because he has brought Vlaar, Benteke, Okore & Kozak into the Club & he is currently the best person to assess our needs going forward. I just hope this situation doesn't drag on unresolved for weeks/months on end as it will totally destabilise the whole club.
  15. I bet it will be like a scene out of reservoir dog's at the restaurant with clandestine names like Mr Pink & Mr Orange squabbling over the virtues of tipping the waitress. If Mr Orange confirms that he never tips ever then I can reveal Mr Orange to be Doug Ellis. Who is Mr Pink though? Surely that is the most intriquing? & what about Mr White & Mr Blue?
  16. Lerner Faulkner Lambert Messi Ronaldo Suarez Bill Gates BJ10
  17. Love the way Mat Kendrick waits till Lambo is out of the country before knifing him in the back. Hopefully the scheduled meeting of the Villa triumverate (Lambert, Lerner, Faulkner) is completely comprehensive & covers all bases & all possibilities. The situation needs to be resolved as quickly as possible as Villa being in limbo for just one second is one second too long as far as I am concerned.
  18. Exactly... long ball fatigue has well and truly set in. Sitting on the pot fatique has set in.

  20. Let's hope it's smellier than the football. What could be smellier than sweet success?
  21. No shit Sherlock. We'd have 3 - 4 players capable of passing the ball to each other while the others watch in amazement. On a positive note, if Lambert does get another season then his bluff has been called. He has to drastically improve and despite some of the bleating on here there is no evidence of this happening - not even green shoots. I don't care about his restraints I want to see a clear footballing philosophy on the pitch. Not this antiquated crap he's served up so far. Time to shit or get off the pot. That pot's sure gonna stink next season.
  22. Just awful, I say, well, laugh, and they don't laugh with me. Let alone the time I gave the receptionist a peach. She fell into the bog of stench and now works at Lidls. I don't think they laugh with you but most probably at you. You should have given the receptionist your cherry seeing as it was in Bournemouth. I never knew your mom worked in Lidls? I'm going to get banned for this aren't I. Over to you limpid. Nothing wrong with not watching Labyrinth, but you should be shot if you have not seen Fraggle Rock. Omariqy - fair enough, I don't know Howard, he is a little bit competive in forums and very keen to educate the world on his business dealings, and perceives the average villa fan as pond scum that needs telling about the real world, and basically never approaches a fellow man as an equal, but all that aside, yes, it probably is his parents fault, and they are repeating their mistakes with him but couldn't care less because they haven't the ability to care about their fellow man. NOT THEIR FAULT. So how much do you owe him on his business dealings? Did he leave you to pick up the tab at that Curry House? Is that what this is all about? Do you need to wear a bullet proof jacket if you've not seen Fraggle Rock? I think you need to spend a little more time on the bench presses.
  23. Which justs underlines that anybody who has ever met HH knows he is a genuine Villa fan. He also has a great sense of humour too. Not sure about Omariqy though?
