Don't judge all people with the money to buy a club by Randy's standards.

As you say, if any potential buyers see these chants they are going to have second thoughts about which club to buy. They will see a big difference between chants wanting him out and chants wanting him to die.

I've picked up Imbula as I'm number one on this waiver in our league. Was tempted by Adebayor and Doumbia but i'm happy with my forwards and if they're too good for Villa then I'm too good for them lol. What is the highest points total in your league for one round?

Don't completely rule South America out due to work permits. Quite a lot of the players there have dual nationalities with EU countries and don't need a permit.

I think they would complain more that they were given this season's Villa shirts.

This was the plan but the board wouldn't sanction spending 20p on a pack of matches.

I don't believe this rumour at all. At the very least the club would have sold the shirts to a company that would re-use them in some way. Either recycling the material into another form of textiles or more likely have them rag-bagged and sold to manufacturing companies who would use them to clean up grease. There will have been some way of using that amount of material to make a commercial gain and some firm would have bought them off us. With his 'liquidator background' he would have had us look for a way to make money off them; even if it was only a few hundred quid.

Man Utd are supposedly bringing the green and gold scarfs protest back tonight; is there something similar that we could do?

For the majority of games this season I think people should attend and support Remi and the players with the hope that somehow we do stay up. However, we should look to hit the board where possible and I would do this by displaying as many banners as possible with messages supporting the team but laying into the board. Along the lines of: "Support the team! Not the regime!" I would also suggest people cut back on buying for hospitality whilst at the game as this will damage the board. However as a 'media statement'. The game on the 14th againt Liverpool is being shown live on Sky. This is an oppurtunity to make a show that we are unhappy with the board. I would suggest that the players are cheered on as loudly and passionately as possible to show that we support them and then at kick-off a mass walkout is arranged showing empty stands filled to the brim with banners like the ones I mentioned above.

Raid the big teams in Brazil and Argentina. They have lots of high potential young players who can be picked up quite cheap.

Is it even worth opening a thread for the summer window?

Leeds Utd isn't dead but working in Leeds the fans generally seem to be dead inside when talking about the club.

Banners using the slogan that Newcastle and Charlton use could be good for this.

I think we could have convinced Afobe to join and he would have scored goals, helped us get promoted back up if we did go down and I think his value is only going to increase.

Being a pedant the window didnt open until the 2nd. But we should've had a striker agreed before then so that they could have joined up asap. How many more points would we have right now if we had a decent striker the last month? How many games did we play well but have no end result? How many more players could we have then signed later in the window? We could've at least tried to stay up or start preparing for a promotion run next season. Doing nothing the whole window is unforgivable.

The club appears to prefer tall strikers who can't run.

Copy and paste? I think you missed one or two threads though.

Ask Trigger from 'Only Fools and Horses' (quite an apt name for our Boardroom btw).

Man City are letting Bruno Zucculini out on loan again. I think he would be a great DM for us in the summer. Granted I only know him from FM.

Only way they're down is if it is too many signings and they can't get them to settle. But I reckon thye should have enough to overtake one of the three teams above them. They're only four points off 15th and have signed some decent players.

Bbc announced that Seydou Doumbia to Newcastle has now been confirmed.

If we can get £10m for him I will know that football is well and truly broken.

Apparently he wants £80k a week plus bonuses. Can't see us paying that.

With his positioning I wouldn't be surprised to see him on the pitch at the Stadium of Light even if we don't sell him.

Was watching the Championship Show on Channel 5 this morning (first time ever and in prep for next season) and they highlighted a banner displayed by the Charlton fans that I thought could also be aimed at Villa. 'Support the team! Not the regime!'
