He could be going after some new backroom staff, lets not forget

Whatever happens this summer let’s stay positive: Lerner has put the club up for sale which the majority of fans want Lambert’s three most expensive signings were not available for most of last season. Kozak and Okore should both be available from the start Lambert has proven he can keep us in the Premiership on a shoestring. I accept the last few weeks/months was relegation form but the season is not decided in a few weeks Bent, Hutton and N’Zogbia are back. I don’t rate any of them but at their best, everyone has to admit they are better than what we have. Certainly midtable quality. Effectively 3 new signings right there. Indications are that Lambert will have up to £15 million to spend. These are all rumours but even so, let’s wait and see. He may have more if he reduces the wage bill further, who knows Lambert doesn’t need a full squad (in his opinion at least) like he has the last two seasons. I expect fewer signings and far higher quality. Lambert has given an indication he will be looking for proven quality in his signings Benteke is forced to stay this summer Back on topic – Nobody knows what Lerner is thinking. We have seen lots of opinions thrown around several hundred pages of puns. Personally, I don’t think Lerner will want to sell unless he feels the person is right for Villa. He’s not exactly broke and he’s not exactly investing a lot of time into Villa these days. He can sit back and wait for the right person. I’ve no backup or source, that’s my opinion. The speculation on this thread is comical. Some dodgy ITKs and some excellent detective work. In the end nobody knows for sure what the current status is, at least nobody on this website (and certainly not TBAR). I do believe we (read: this forum and/or the press) will hear about the takeover before it becomes official. We heard about Lerner taking over before a statement was released by the club and months before it was official (did the FA need to approve or perhaps the delay was on the stock market) TLDR: Chill, I don’t think we will be relegated. It might be a boring summer for transfers but we have the World Cup to enjoy.

Players who can retain the ball...

Surely worth a 1 year extension? He may still leave for the extra money but he really could be a quality impact player. Consider the crossing with Kozak and Benteke on the pitch

Is it just me? Or is no-one actually worrying, we're just discussing speculation, theories and possible (no matter how slight) ITK Live and let live, and all that. I haven't slept in hours

Why, is something absolutely wonderful about to happen? BREAKING - Holt signed on permanent deal

Tell me when you will be mine... Tell me Kwando Kwando Kwando We can share ITK info Please don't make me wait again.... - Engelbert Humperdinck

Irregardless is wrong anyway

Ellison bought Villa? No proof or backup? I know for a fact you're wrong cause Ronald McDonald is buying Villa. I just can't tell you how I know.

Pretty sure they don't want to hear something along the lines of "I know something but ain't telling" Maybe they do, I'll let everyone else decide.

I'm sure you're a fan and I'm sure you're as ITK as everyone else here. That'll be the problem. I'll tell you I wrote Lerner's statement. After he releases it. Edit: Actually, it would be great if you can stop suggesting you have insider info. Feel free to contribute either with facts or speculation, but don't tell people you know something and don't want to tell them. That's just annoying.

Its not Klinsmann Lambert to go at the end of the season. Lerner to stay. Culverhouse and Karsa to be appointed caretakers on three year contracts. No money to spend until they find a suitable candidate, at the end of the three years. Edit: Decided to change my avatar to something more appropriate

Teenagers Bullshitting About Randy

My target is Scarlett Johansson. I'll score with her quicker than Hernandez scoring for Villa. Bullshit.

Can confirm he is tall

Well, that settles it

Your point?

Based on one performance? No. It is good to have him in the squad for now though

When did you last see us play?

And SSN know more??

I agree. A player that doesn't even exist shouldn't be our captain. I can only assume he meant Rob Vlaar of the Niagara Christian Hockey League http://hometeamsonline.com/teams/default.asp?u=CNCHL_HOCKEY&t=c&s=hockey&p=profile&playerID=63385

Barcelona

These things take time - Bent only left last week. Next week I would expect everyone to be busy, hopefully us too. On a side note, can we please stop suggesting stupid targets like DeBruyne? Lerner is a billionaire, so yeah, I'm sure we have the resources to sign him but he started the first game for Chelsea and was on the bench against us. He is nothing like our historical signings under Lambert, i.e. Premiership player who costs £10m+ and would require significant wages.

Difficult position for Lambert since Clark didn't really do anything wrong but neither did Okore...
