Greavsie, its not the General you need to ask that question to, its the FA. Their rules prevent it and as much as I'd like to see Terracing in some shape or form theres nothing the General and Mr Lerner can do about it

Agreed, the FA are big headed clearings in the woods and wont even let us have a star, let alone terracing.

Welcome General to this great footballing institution that is Aston Villa.

The passion and business acumen being shown by our board will be of great benefit to us and as I had anticipated you cite the knowledge and expertise of Bob Kain as being invaluable! Lets roll!

Imagine Beckham whipping in crosses for Juampi to stick his head on?

might need the crossbar changed every day.

O'Neill made it pretty clear to see that he didn't fancy signing Beckham and wouldn't be swayed by marketing benefits! After all, look at West Spam!

Would rather have Russell Harty

I think that Darren Bent will prove to be a one season wonder, if we are gonna spend big dough I would go for Ashton, hopefully events at West Ham will help it but looks like they will need him more than ever.

I reckon Joey Barton would be a good signing, what does everyone else think? A proper person to challenge Gav.

probably around 5m

No thanks, he is a rocket polisher who would affect team spirit and his brother is a murderer!

Oh yeah, he ain't all that great either!

Has Kevin Nolan been mentioned ??

Great game today, young and runs forever, surely the perfrct MON player and flexible in any midfield position

Seconded! Wouldn't mind Papa Bouba Diop either.

Charlton may have to rebuild their team in order to survive and so will need cash. He's their only valuable player and they may have to cash in.

As for those sure Klose wouldnt come. Milan Baros left a team that had just won the CL after being the glden boot winner at Euro 2004 and turned down clubs in the CL to come to Villa. Not only Villa but DOL's 10th placed Villa.

Who would have thought that Carlos Tevez and Mascherano would show up at West Ham? You just cant say it wont happen any more. Well, you can. But it doesnt mean it wont. Klose may go elsewhere but it doesnt mean we shouldnt be trying to persude him to come here. Him or any other class player who MON thinks would be right for us.

If we can match the fee and the wages required, which we can, and we dont think it's a rip-off, which we don't know yet, then Klose would be here. Fact!

If we have a statue it has to be of Sir Dennis holding the European Cup proudly aloft, it will still be relevant in 50 years because it was filmed.

I don't think we should have a star on the jersey.

It's 25 years ago and the club isn't amongst the top clubs anymore. Imagine

Nottingham Forest doing the same, it wouldn't be right. And on the other side;

wouldn't other fans and clubs just laugh at us?

People often act like they find something funny when in actaul fact they are jealous!

I'm not sure about it to be honest. It's a bit like Englands one star, the teams we really should be competing with, ie the Liverpools and Manchester Uniteds of this world, have more than us. This is a new era for Villa and focusing on one European Cup victory 24 years ago doesn't mean a lot when we aspire to be better than teams who could have 5 or 6 such stars.

ManUre only have two stars, if we don't have a star we have missed an opportunity for marketing, full stop. We are trying to break into new markets, when foreigners see the star they will ask 'whats that for?' in the same way that we look at itailian shirts and say what they got 2 stars for?

Eg in the States they wont have a clue if we have won anything, how many of you know how many times the Oakland A's have won the world series or San Francisco 49ers the Superbowl, wouldn't you be more likely to know if all of their merchandise had that many amount of stars above the logo?

Ellis could never have got naming rights to the ground sold for real money because we were seen as club that was going no where, if anywhere backwards, and what company would want to put their name to that. Also the reason that we have a shit shirt sponson worth 2p a week.

I think Lerner will first need to spend some big money before large companies take us seriously, like all those haters who keep saying ''you cant do anything 'til January!' dont the tossers realise we have been waiting long enough and cant wait for the late Christmas presents that Randy will bring us!

Our tradition would remain, but in all honesty it aint been the same since Doug pulled down the Trinity Road stand, he should have gone to prison for that! Incidentlt Notts County play at the Aaron Scargill Stadium but everyone calls it Meadow Lane.

Agree could never rename the famous Holte End!

Dont mind if we change the name because everyone will always call it Villa Park, the only people who will give us stick will be nosers and they already call it Vile Park so bollocks to them! Would rather see the Cadburys Villa Park in European Cup semi final than Villa Park half way up the league.
