I'm not very romantically nourished by the prospect of Pearson but I wouldn't be too angry about it. Every manager is a gamble, at least in the pot we're picking from. 

There's not many managers out there that can fight off a pack of savage dogs with a stick, so that seems as good as reason as any to go with him. At least he's got recent, relevant experience in this league and might just get us up. All depends on the takeover though really doesn't it.

Was he filming this in an abandoned Arctic research station or something?

I thought that, especially when I saw The Thing... then I realised that was just Lescott.

That was a pretty impressive sight, the majority of the Holte with banners held aloft. 

Good effort again lads, it's definitely been noticed.

I think we should field this team in the next game, possibly in a 20-20-10 formation with both mascots in goal. 

Probably still lose though. 

I'm not watching it but I guess we've been unable to keep the ball and Southampton are passing it about dangerously. Oh and at least one slip, misplaced pass or idiotic piece of defending.

Not that it matters but the team sheet:

 

 

Looking at the spine of that team... I can't find one! 

Toner's on the bench, what's happened to Adama though? 

For **** sake!! Why on earth would you put that lot out again? 

Where are your balls Black? 

We've got nothing to lose, we'll get beat anyway so why not play some kids. I don't even think it's a brave decision to do so, they wouldn't have relegation on their heads, they've got something to prove and it would make for a much more positive at atmosphere at VP. 

Not gonna happen though is it. 

At least he's acknowledged he wants to sell, if it's true that the price is reduced then surely it's just a matter of time now?

At least we know he remembers a couple of games. That's reassurance enough isn't it? 

Well actually no Randy, it's not. Actions speak louder than words, especially those words. Sell up and do one now please.

I haven't bought a 'news'paper in years, what little of it that's true is yesterday's news and the majority of football gossip is just that, gossip.

Now that the players have 'a weight off their shoulders', they owe us a brilliant performance.

I'm two minds about that; it would p*** me right off if they went out and won, playing well. Why didn't they do it before when it actually mattered?!

Then the other side of the coin, it might give some hope they really are actually footballers and if we're stuck with some of them next year there's a chance they could do ok. 

To be honest I think I'd rather we lose, leaving no uncertainty that we need rid.

I reckon relegation has pushed randy over the edge, he just wants rid now 

God I hope so! 

This is last years Birmingham rich list. Not much choice, look who's number four

Who is the richest man in birmingham?

And does he support Aston Villa ?

Apparently Lord Bamford of JCB and his family are the richest in Birmingham.

No idea who he supports though. I'd guess Wolves looking at his companies brand colours.

You'd think David Cameron might have some contacts in some high places. 

Or is he a West Ham fan now? 

Regarding the rich fans; it would be great to have people in charge that love the club but surely being a capable owner is more important? Football'a a cut-throat business that requires someone to really know what they're doing. I don't profess to know all of the ins and out of running a club but it's not going to be easy. For me the most important aspect is their ability, and their bank balance. It's not necessary that they are fans for me. Whether the combination of rich, successful business owner and villa fan exists out there though, I've no idea.

I have just emailed him by coincidence.

I hope you copied the General in...

I do recall watching one of the Villa YouTube channel's "players arriving" videos. As the Watford players walked through the corridors past the pictures of our glorious history on the wall, only Flores stopped to have a look at them. In fact he spent a bit of time taking them in. 

Ergo he's impressed by our club and will definitely want the job! 

I'm probably wrong but I thought that Lerner's holding company loaned the money to Villa, any debt could be written off by him? I'd hope that's the case anyway.

Those getting their hopes up of Dalian Wanda are going to be disappointed I fear....

It's okay we're used to being disappointed...
