duffman, transfers WILL be made before this transfer window closes, O`Niell has said so.

buying a company is not as simple as buying a pack of polos from a corner shop. first the bid must be formally made, then finances must be checked and its then up to the current shareholders to sell. anyone who thinks a sale will happen this tuesday is out of there mind.

Lerner to step up Villa takeover bid By William Gray (Filed: 07/08/2006) In pics: Summer moves Your View: Premiership message boards American billionaire Randy Lerner, the favourite among four parties bidding to take control at Aston Villa, is set to make a formal offer to club chairman Doug Ellis. Lerner is already working in close contact with Martin O'Neill, installed as Villa's new manager on Friday. When he came to England a fortnight ago to hold talks with Ellis, Lerner also spent two evenings with the former Celtic manager, who was his top choice to succeed David O'Leary. That is why O'Neill was believed to be stunned when it appeared the deal had fallen through 10 days ago, Lerner flying back to the United States after the apparent collapse of negotiations with Ellis. But talks are again proceeding and, if all goes to plan, Lerner is expected to be formally installed as Villa's new owner by early September now that Ellis has intimated he is ready to sell. The owner of NFL side Cleveland Browns has the kind of ample funds O'Neill will require to transform Villa into a major force. O'Neill will spend the next week assessing the current players at his disposal during Villa's two matches in Holland on their pre-season tour. He watched his charges in action for the first time on Saturday, when they fought out a goalless draw with Hanover 96 in Germany. The new manager was accompanied by his tried and trusted lieutenants, new assistant manager John Robertson and coach Steve Walford, who were also with him at Leicester and Celtic. He is aware he has to move fast, with a daunting Premiership opener against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium only 13 days away. Villa have not brought in any players over the summer after avoiding relegation last season. Press here baby, thats it there, there, more more....oooh baby

say Lerner pays £64million for the club, lays out £50million for decent players and we quilify for the champs league for a few seasons, Lerner will recoup his outlay in a few years, and we can become a proffit making club that pays its own way in transfers

Glenn Roeder Newcastle United manager Martin is one of the most intelligent football managers around and his return will certainly make the Premiership interesting this season. I love listening to Martin talk intelligently on football and he is going to make things seem a lot more colourful in the months ahead. It feels like he's been away far too long but Martin left management in extremely worrying circumstances relating to his wife's illness. I'm really pleased he's back and I am hoping Geraldine is going to be ok now." why is that clearing in the woods sticking his nose in

im willing to Bet that MON will not buy anyone untill the takeover goes through

nothing much, just that Mike Neville wants to join forces with the AV06 consortium and make a joint bid for the club. Meaning he hasn't really got the money ? i think Neville panicked when he heard Lerner was making a bid and played his card to fast, i think he has some funds in place but is looking to strengthen it with padfield.

Ill give my comments on all suggested G.Neville - To much like beckham, not much passion on the pitch and not very vocal, a model proffesional yes and a good players but isnt a natural leader. Terry - the complete opposite to Neville, a proper English player, wears his heart on his sleeve and has the armband at one of the best clubs in the world at the moment, would provide the fire we need from a captain that we havnt had since the days of Terry Butcher Gerrard - no where near as good for England as he is for Liverpool, drifts out of games far to often to be effective as a captain, like beckham. Lampard - Like Gerrard, he isnt as good for England as he is for his club, doesnt strike me as someone who would get you motivated Michael Owen - Far to quiet. Rooney - Far the young, the passion is there yes, but there no temperament, what sort of an example would he set the other players, he is supposed to remain calm and sort things out, instead he kicks people in the bollocks. ever seen "Mike Bassett- England Manager"? it would be like having wacko as captain. Terry is the ONLY choice. if its not Terry i will be pissed

Terry - he is a natural leader

obviously not if he wants to leave

i booked a few weeks off work when this story first broke 6-7 days ago, it better be finished by next friday, but knowing my luck the deal will go through the second i set foot on the scaffolding

WoW has to be one of the most pointless games ever, why sit at a computer for hours trying to get a goblin to beat up a pixie?

yeah, neville has made a bid of £64million, but its not like buying a bag of crisps. first the bid must be looked at, see if the funds are in place, look at what the long term stratergy is etc, if doug decided the bid is acceptable, he then recomends it to other shareholders.

i would have brought a season ticket last year but i couldnt afford one, same goes for this year, regardless of our position etc i would still go to games, i still plan on going to 5-10 games this season regardless of whether ellis/lerner/neville/ are in charge.

i dont get it?

Robs bread maker isnt as techniquely advanced as he made it out to be

After the ball comes over Richards garden one to many times, he gets his own back

Richards reaction to his neighbours buying a trampoline

Rob does his shopping before setting off to the sex theme park
