phil.

Unbelievable. 221 minutes played and we already want him gone. Angel was much worse than him when he first joined and he ended up scoring 23 goals in one season. Ayew is 23, playing in a side that hasn't created many chances this season and he's also came from a League that's a lot slower than the PL. I'll judge him when he's got 25 games under his belt and even that and even that's probably too soon.

We sign a highly rated winger from the Champions of Europe and still some fans manage to have a moan.

Only place I've seen this mentioned was in The Telegraph rumours page yesterday. The Liverpool Echo confirmed that Liverpool aren't interested in him.

The guy who posted that it was a done deal on TBAR also said that the takeover was "signed, sealed, delivered". Think it's fair to say he's full of the brown stuff.

No group has been granted exclusivity. Two group's have put bid's in, American one being the front-runner but neither have been granted exclusivity and both have done preliminary due diligence. Can't see the takeover being completed before the end of the month at the very least.

'Rocket polisher' and 'Pisswater Ron', we really do possess some of the most idiotic fans in the country.

Fuse is definitely Micky Quinn!!

To be fair to Wiz he does have a point, Norwich are a monster of a club, great history with a massive 2 major trophies in their 109 year history, huge fanbase with a stunning, modern stadium. Why on earth would Lambert wanna come to a shoddy, tinpot club like Villa?!

Randy's plane is going to Kristiansund which is where OGS lives, apart from that i think the rest has just been blown out of proportion

I put a tenner on @ 33/1 but i wish i'd stuck £20 on now. To be honest though i never truly believed this one was gonna happen but its looking more and more likely!

Molde have scored 79 goals in 35 games with him in charge so they sound fairly attacking

100% not gonna be Mick McCarthy

General, Do you think Randy will still be the owner of our club in five years time?

Hi General, I know that you, Randy and Paul Faulkner all have the best interests of the club at heart. Randy has spent huge amounts of money on the club since he joined and his commitment cannot be doubted. My worry is, with the amount of money he has spent we seem to have gone nowhere and are back to square one again. If any other club had spent as much money as he had i believe they would be challenging for the Champions League. My point being, do you think that it would be of benefit to the club to appoint somebody with a bit more experience in handling situations like the current one we find ourselves in? Personally if we are in for the likes of Alex Mcleish then somebody at Villa isnt doing their job properly and all the money that Randy has spent is going to go down the drain because we are either going to stand still or go backwards with somebody like Mcleish in charge. I cling onto the hope that the club is working on somebody considerably better than Mcleish but at the moment it really doesnt look like it.

I agree with all of this. Blues are woeful and any manager would have struggled to keep them up. He, like most managers made a few mistakes when he was at Blues but i dont think he would do a bad job at Villa. We could get a lot better and it is dissapointing but the board just dont seem to share the same ambition as the fans do.
