Cue the 'Armchair Fan' debate, yet again.

Yes mate it was rather cold out this morning.

No mate, I'm glad you don't attend.

We could do with less miserable tossers at Villa park.

Morpheus, when did you last attend Villa park?

Bluenose in disguise.

When did we allow all these closet noses on the board?

Hilarious the lot of them!

Qatar Petroleum anyone? Hand on heart...

It's very feasible imo. Before Randy Lerner bought AVFC, Arabs were very interested but I cant remember if it was Kuwaiti's or Qatari's. The rumours linking them with Blackburn really doesn't sound feasible. Would the country holding the 2022 World Cup want to own one of the smallest Premier League Clubs?

Villa's historic pedigree in terms of past honours and being league founders would undoubtedly satisfy the ego of the Arabs.

Whether we agree or not with being the plaything on an even bigger Billionaire, there is little doubt that Villa could be massive again with Arab money.

Interesting, I think I share your opinion, a poll is needed me thinks.

I'd take it. World class players, a new North stand / Witton Lane and I'd be extremely happy.

Hi General, just wondering if the club will ever put the footage of previous season (pre 09 season) back on avtv?

It's one of the things that made it worth paying for, for me anyway.

General, could you give us a rough estimate of when Lerner hopes to have the club sold?

blow me

ill come back when you put ur jim jams on and youve gone to bed

I reckon this geezers way too cool for Villatalk.

What was funny? I tuned in and he said Mark Hughes and then went to the bladdy Speedway!!

Some bloke called Dennis rang up. Kept saying Lerner as if it was spelt like Learner.

Said Lerner is destroying the club and hasn't done anything for us. The host went on to say he's spent over 100m on transfers and club development and the guy refused to believe it. He then said we're just selling all the time and Randy is putting no money in.

Then when asked who he wanted as manager he said Gary McAlister who apparently saved our season

People with the name Dennis should be slapped, smacked and then given to Rihanna as a sex slave.

P.S, it wasn't me!

Did I mention my name was Dennis?

I have definitely not called him racist, I have corrected him and suggested he is anti foreign but to class that as calling somebody racist is picky and very Daily Mail.

Fair enough, suppose I shouldn't have quoted you. It still stands for the person saying he's embarrassed that the poster is a Villa fan.

Bit over the top.

I don't wanna win with the help of any Italian managers, assistants, doctors etc.

I want it to be a 100% English victory.

You don't see the Spanish asking some English people to help them win.

If the manager aint English, we may as well get foreign players as well and then it would just be club football.

Everyone stop being sheep/pc.

You know I speak the truth.

And I'm not racist either.

The Spanish are way more racist anyway - they would never appoint a foreigner yet alone a black manager - yet no one has a go at them.

I know that deep down, you agree with me.

Personally, I think you're argument is full of holes and you ARE a racist. I am ashamed that you are associated to Aston Villa, albeit via a internet message board, in any way. Villa have foreign players, black players, English players etc. They are most welcome. England are managed by an Italian. Get over it. Your views are your own, I appreciate that, but you most certainly do not speak the truth. I'm fairly sure that, if you look back far enough in your family history, you won't be English either.

How am I racist because I'd prefer a British Villa manager?

So if I preferred we look to the continent for a Villa manager would that also make me racist?

Go look up what racism means and also link that with the things you have said and suggested over the past week.

It is you who should look up what racism means. As I said earlier, he's xenophobic if anything - but even then, hardly.

I'm ashamed this student liberal bollocks is being spouted on here.

Some people think England should be managed by an Englishman, you get over it. It's not the end of the world, the whole idea of international football is that it's just that. One nation vs another. Some people like the pure idea of it all.

I'm not one of them, but I certainly don't think people who do are 'racist'for crying out loud.

Can we get back to the next Villa manager topic and stop this pathetic shit.

erm no

he said

"if I preferred we look to the continent for a Villa manager would that also make me racist?"

So, he should go and look up what racism is, right?

I'm rolling my eyes.

Tbh, I don't care. He's being accused of racism, perhaps not by you but others and it's pretty **** stupid. And ruining a good thread.

I wonder if Martin O'Neill was a racist, he preferred British players too, where is that rolling eyes smiley?

I'd say telling somebody they couldn't have a job because they were from the wrong country would constitute as racist, im sure as hell thats what the police would be telling me if I turned somebody down for a job because they were foreign.

/exaggerated hypothetical

xenophobic is the word you're looking for :winkold:

General, I believe at the time Houllier was the best man - and the right appointment.

However, we are serious relegation candidates right now. We need to either spend big, or bring in Martin Jol - who is available now.

I stress you have done the best job you could have done so far, but something needs to be done.

He's the same height as scholes, which amazed me. If he bulks up a bit, he could well make it. Very good left foot.

Get the **** in. Relief.

Play our only experienced striker when we have a big game on Sunday? he took a risk, it didn't work. Give it a rest.

Fine, this I accept. The idea that this game shows him as a tactician just seem ridiculous to me.

It was a bit tongue in cheek. Brining on two players in the quality of Downing and Heskey against Burnley clearly isn't the sign of a tactical genius.

Both of Houlliers subs have scored, do we have a manager who knows what to do these days

By not playing any strikers?

Apart from that of course, anyone with any brain would have played super Gabby and amazing John.

Injured strikers win games.

Maybe play the striker who came on and scored? Or even our young prospect? May as well be Scotland with that amazing 4-6-0 formation

It's also quite clear that Young was playing up front. Super Martin!!1, signed him as a striker remember.

If we win, it's all down to Friedel.

Downing!

Absolutely unacceptable.

bad management if you ask me,not starting at home with a proper striker ffs..

I'm sure you'd do a lot better.

Villa 'fans', always backing the team. No wonder we're called fickle by everyone else.

well id play a proper **** striker..

Yeah - Gabby. Oh, he's injured. Alright - Carew! Oh, he's pulled out 5 minutes before the game. Heskey? He can't manage 2 games in a week.

God knows what's happening with Delfouneso, but McDonald and now Houllier haven't played him, must be a reason.

Absolutely unacceptable.
