  1. I want rid. I've never had an ounce of affection for Liverpool (or especially) their fans, so I was mortified by the comment. Him leading us into a relegation battle hasn't helped. I just have this feeling he will get us relegated, shrug his shoulders, and then leave thinking 'Oh well, I gave it a go.' I don't think he's got any passion for the club at all.
  2. I think the CSKA thing hasn't been forgotten yet..
  3. I'm 100% proud of the club today. & dead chuffed that Obama's finally wrapped up the nomination too. Its a good day. =]
  4. General, thanks for the work in communicating with us fans once more; i've been a bit of a lurker on this thread and haven't asked anything yet, but... I'm not sure if you can answer this, but, last year, while the negotiations were going on, it was reported in the media that there was some kind of bust up between DE and Randy, which resulted in Randy getting his jet back, and his personal spokesman saying that his interest was over. A couple of weeks later, there seemed to be an about-turn and Randy again appeared interested in buying the club, and obviously then the sale went through. The media seemed to guess at what happened, but nothing conclusive was really ever established, and I was just wondering if you were in a position, now all the dust has settled, to say what happened?
  5. Well no-one here said Angel couldn't have got 6 in 5 at Oldham Athletic either =p
  6. Can't see Barry moving into the middle, particularly as I can't see Reo Coker playing simply a holding role.
  7. I think he's almost certain to sign a DM to replace McCann. As far as I see it, his biggest priorities are a new DM, a new striker, and a new GK.
  8. Ajax are one of the biggest clubs in europe. :? But we do have the premier league which is a big attraction. Also haven't Bayern missed out on the Champions League which will dent their chances.? Ajax are a big club and do have a rich history but they also play in a poor league and have always been a selling club. We are a bigger club in that respect. I'd agree with you to some extent re Ajax being a selling club, but the thing that really gives them that reputation as I see it was the breakup of their best ever squad in the aftermath of the Bosman ruling, something largely beyond their control. That doesnt make them any less of a massive club really.
  9. Weren't you calling Defoe a waste of space a few months back?
  10. Are they Michael, Cristiano and Obafemi's brothers? I think a number of players are overhyped because they are foreign. Michael Essien, Ronaldo, Van Nistelrooy were always too good for us. As a general rule, I think we should stick with what we know. I'd much rather Darren Bent than Saviola. That's not to say that if there are gems or bargains to be found abroad, we oughtn't to go for them - we should, of course - but I just feel we ought to remember that sometimes John Smith can be just as good as Juan Federico de Ninho. John Smith just costs 3m more.
  11. Because, as I've said before and will continue to say..... It isn't just about one comment from Padfield or AV06. I've said my various reasons are in this thread and others. Its a combination of things that have made me very wary. To put it simply - I do not want someone in control of AVFC who are happy to resort to some of the comments and tactics we've seen over the past couple of days. I'm standing right beside you on this one Runetune. 8) Shoulder to shoulder Notice, I didn't stay standing right 'behind' you. Looks like your moral high ground on Padfield's xenophobia just collapsed, mind.. :? Just trying to lighten the mood icklevillan. If I've offended, Im genuinely sorry. Would have thought someone from California would have known better. Never been to Venice Beach, clearly

  14. I cant remember feeling this good about Villa. This is happening, right?
  15. Change the record ffs. To be honest, this thread is 338 pages long. Is there ANYTHING that hasn't been said a million times before by now?
  16. Aye I know. My post was badly put. I was trying to say that the motives are basically the same - they would (if we take them charitably) want to make a success out of the club, and make money, too. So why are the motives different? MN doesn't have much money, Lerner has shed loads. Lerner owns a US sporting club, Neville has no experience at all of owning a professional club. Lerner's said nothing, Neville's said plenty, but done what exactly? If Neville has anything to do with this I'd be worried. Tubthumping nationalism isn't the best criterion for making a decision. Ask the FA what they think in four years time.
  17. There is no supply. Who is going to sell at £5 when they know with certainty they will get £5.60 if they want in the next month. You would need to bid over £5.60 to tempt someone, wouldn't you, and why would you do that when you know they're only worth £5.60? The lowest anyone's willing to sell is 5.05 actually. You'd be able to pick up some shares for that, and if you're certain it wont fall back - then the easy money is yours.
  18. I don't think this is the done deal people think just yet. There's very very very low liquidity in this stock, thats usually a sign that people are uncertain. It means that those holding the stock don't want to sell just in case, but no-one wants to pump their money in as they're not sure its going to happen. If the market's as uncertain as it is (6 trades in all of yesterday), its going to take more than a few Bill Howell reports to convince me this is happening.
  19. I think we know where he got his management style from, at least
  20. Thank God Ellis wasn't running that. We'd be in the Bundesliga by now.
  21. I guess no-one wants to make a Mike Neville-esque "It'll all be over by Christmas" type prediction.
  22. Hmm, I quite like the sound of Mr. 300 8) Mr. Ellis is the real Mr. 300, surely
  23. Yep... BBC don't "understand" things usually without a good reason
