LancsVillan

Must be nasty to have made that decision and still fancy individual games. My uncle is on the same non-Villa diet and he's had to stop himself wanting to go to specific games. Blose this season is the most obvious yet. A little vein goes in his head when it comes up in conversation. Poor bastard.

easter Sunday - big big question for me too. Long weekend away with the family, something we don't get that much chance of or seing the blose game...

^^^ Whats stopping you now?

ali - steven has documented on numerous occasions that whilst a certain person is around he won't attend VP. Hope it clears it up for you

I'm going to get my arse in gear and do one of these one day

My online mate (a 59 lock)

lost all the offline ones yet ? ;-)

I am beginning to ask serious questions about the ability of these irish brothers to run Villa. Running a football club means you generally aren't in it for a profit making exercise. These brothers aren't even interested in football. We could end up in a situation where there is no cash to buy players season in season out, just like now really.

I refer the honourable gentleman to the the post I made last night ;-)

another from the Villa mailing list

Doris and Percy had been living in the old folks' home for a while and

had got into a nice little routine. Every afternoon after lunch they would

sit under the laburnum tree and Doris would contentedly hold Percy's willie

in her hand.

One day a new lady arrived and before long Percy was spending his

afternoons with her under the tree. Doris was distraught, "What's SHE got that I

haven't?" she wailed.

"Parkinson's" said Percy.

sorry if that offended anyone but I laughed

Two men, Stephen and Norman, had been backpacking for a couple of

weeks, and they were becoming a bit irascible with each other. One morning,

Norman says, "You know, we're starting to get on each others nerves. Why don't

we go our own ways today.I'll hike north and you hike south and tonight we

can share our experiences"

Stephen agrees and hikes south whilst Norman hikes north.

That night over dinner around the campfire, Norman man relates his

story:

"I hiked into the most beautiful hidden valley. I followed along the

verdant banks of a meandering stream. I eventually cam to the most wondrous

waterfall where I sat and ate an idyllic lunch. Then I swam in the

cooling waters of a crystal clear lake. I watched silently as fallow deer

came and drank from the stream. The marginal wildflowers were covered with

butterflies and attentive falcons floated on the thermals overhead. It

was so wonderful and I now feel at peace with everything. How was your

day?"

Stephen says, "I went south and came to a railway line. I followed the

line until I came across a beautiful young woman tied to the tracks.

I tore at the knots with my teeth and made my fingers bleed in my

urgency to remove the ropes before a train came. Eventually I gently lifted her

off the tracks and made love with her in every possible position for the whole

afternoon. Then blissfully I lay in her arms and slipped into a

peaceful sleep. Several hours later I awoke, kissed her gently on the moist nape

of her neck and and without disturbing her crawled exhaustedly back here."

"Bugger me !!" cried Norman, "I Thought my day was great but yours was so

much better than mine. Tell me, man-to-man, did you manage to get a blow

job?"

"No," says Stephen, "I couldn't find her head."

Not said much on this but I think that the Comers are in it for money and also the land. Here is my thoughts on it, it is quite possibly covered on one of the other 42 pages but hey ho.

Buy Villa for £64m or whatever having worked out that to run them for a year is not a problem. Sell the land to Comer Homes for 'market value', which given the planning permission has gone will be less as only actual house builders (what do Comer homes do!) will be interested. Giving the club say £10m for players as promised, well sort of.

Develop the land and make a profit, house building is like that you see.

Then sell off Villa to any number of purchasers who are interested (of that we are sure) in selling but are not able to deal with Ellis for whatever reason. (Senility on one side being one). For let's say £64m which given that with £10m of 'extra' playing staff the club will be about worth.

So I think that makes them money.... AVFC will still be here and in the hands of someone who wants a FOOTBALL club not a business with some land.....

Ali - it's Villa so I never think anything is going to happen until it has been completed.

Will someone wake me up when it either happens or its off, until then I'll just be dozing in the corner

no doubt with the meter running

espically the portsmouth part

Portsmouth aren't a PLC & it's not a takeover, it's more like a cash injection that might eventually become a takeover in the future.

Jon didn't say it was a takeover, he stated a major investment and has been mis-quoted.

I know he knows the difference as we discussed it on Tuesday when I posted about it on about page 10 of this thread too....

about time, what with you and IainG posting recently it's bizarre....

tricella it's completely different due to numerous things, PLC being one, but also because Mandaric isn't selling up as I see it more accepting investment, something else the Ellis hasn't ever looked for

anyone suspiciuos about how long the due dilligence is taking?

nope it's a long laborious process at the best of times in like minded companies, when one is new to the game they will want to see and know more before following it through.

I think the difference between aston villa PLC and *another club* private takeover is different over one reason

HDE

depends which 'other' club.

Chelsea - nope that was London

Pompey - nope that is a partnership

ManUre - yep agreed he is holding out for a sell-off when the buyer isn't prepared to launch themselves like the Glasers (unfortunately) into a hostile bid

is it not done then... ?

looked - err - blurred Rev.. ;-)

guess that 704 is good then

who is the guy in the background running into somewhere and by the look of it nicking summat and running away - Risso?

Its gonna be a great atmosphere against Everton surely. Come on lets get a full house to celebrate.

good atmos - probably

full house - I expect not, due to stupid bloody sky and a 5.15 kickoff.

Love the boxing day games but they can forget it at that time, as we host a Xmas party on Boxing Day...........

and before you ask..... no :-)

Thats excellent Al

Cheers Ian - I try

 Free Aston Villa 

Free, Free, Free, Aston Villa 

Free Aston Villa  

Twenty-three years in captivity 

Our ambition too small to fit our club 

Our body abused but our mind still free 

He was so blind that he could not see 


I say Free Aston Villa  

I'm begging you 

Free Aston Villa 


We pleaded the causes of the VFC

Only a few in a large army 

Yet so blind that they would not see 

And still so deaf they refused to support the plea 


Free Aston Villa

I'm begging you Free Aston Villa


Twenty-three years in captivity 

Making some blind that they could not see 

Talking in rhymes that we cannot hear 

Still so dumb they will not speak 


I say Free Aston Villa

I'm begging you 

Oh free Aston Villa, free 

Aston Villa I'm begging you 

begging you Please free Aston Villa

free Aston Villa


I'm telling you, you've got to free Aston Villa

Oh the weather outside is frightful

But the fire is so delightful

And since we've been waiting so

Let Him Go! Let Him Go! Let Him Go!

It really showed signs of stopping

But the Comers are still shopping

The fans were feeling way down low

Let Him Go! Let Him Go! Let Him Go!

When he finally says goodbye

How I'll love going out in my shirt

But if you'll really hold me tight

At last we'll be rid of that shite

The ellis years, slowly dying

And, my dear, we're still goodbying

But as long as I'm a Villan

Let Him Go! Let Him Go! Let Him Go!

bloody ear worms :-)
