CrackpotForeigner Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 But we still haven't arrived, so nobody piss in their pants just yet now you tell me. THANKS A LOT. Wring your pants out and drink it if you're feeling thirsty. It'll be semi-filtered, I think. Don't say I don't look out for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrackpotForeigner Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) I was wondering when someone would ask that question. It's become traditional when a transfer happens during a period of high transfer rumour actvity. In fact I've had a four pack of Guiness in the fridge ready for Transfer Bingo, and it seems the first one has come in. Cheers! (not that it wouldn't be good to know the answer to the question) Edited July 3, 2015 by CrackpotForeigner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 With Praet being linked I am clutching I don't care something is definitely afoot. To be honest, if we continue to go for players of that quality and we land a few in the process, I don't actually care if we are taken over or not. I like Fox as a CEO, I'm happy with the manager, if they are a little more ambitious with regards the squad to go with that, what is there not to like? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you forgotten the last 4 years with Lerner as owner. Regardless of what happens a takeover must occur. I believe it will so am not concerned. But finding out there is no takeover would pretty much ruin my Summer as far as football is concerned.

Qwpzxjor1 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I think the recent two signings/rumours are more likely using Benteke money to rebuild the team. I hope it's a new owner splashing some cash though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if he's no longer desperate to sell the club? What if he's happy to sit back, appoint a chairman and let him/her and the CEO decide the vision, setting a realistic budget within FFP parameters? After that, I just want to see good football. Winning football. I don't really care much for "visions" in the end, I'm more an XI vs XI of a Saturday kinda guy, though I appreciate I'm probably an outlier in the modern game Edit - basically what you want and what I want are different things. So it stands to reason you might find my post "crazy" when you judge it against your wants. Edited July 2, 2015 by dont_do_it_doug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He ruined Browns and has gone very close to ruining us. You could argue the good business done by Lambert is what kept us up. I want him gone.

Bunnski Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) So if we are/were prepared to spend £9m on Gueye ,£10m on Praet, £3m on Chery, £5m on Begovic and £7m on Amavi that comes to £34m which could nearly all be from the sale of one player then that would be great business. Now I know it's not gonna work out exactly like that for obvious reasons( Begovic to Chelsea, Amavi not likely) but it gives us a good idea of what we could get from selling Benteke alone. Add hopefully £10-£15m for a replacement striker and we would have a great squad even if Randy is still here.

I like Fox as a CEO, I'm happy with the manager, if they are a little more ambitious with regards the squad to go with that, what is there not to like? Honestly, the way he (Lerner) ran us down these past years I'm teetering on real hate for the guy. But you know, all could quickly be forgiven if he really hands over the reigns to someone else (not selling / granted directorship) and we start to see positive impacts, with positive and realistic investments year on year. I really don't think most of us ask a lot, and if we just got a happy medium and I felt like the ownership was actually showing some ship steadying that were yielding results we'd be happy (some of us). If we see a positive rebuild, and real progress through some good investments then "better the devil you know" would actually come into play. He has a long way to win me over personally, but I'm not gonna bare a grudge for the sake of it - only if he continues to negatively impact Villa. Signs seem to be that isn't the case, so let's hope.

I can never forgive. Want him no longer associated with the club in any way possible. The Mcliesh appointment and contempt he showed for the fans that summer was unforgivable. Those who can still support him after that really surprise me. I will celebrate the day the club is sold. Even Doug never treated us like mugs the way Lerner did.

Popular Post P3te Posted July 3, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted July 3, 2015 A new owner comes with the hope of fixing things to make us properly run and competitive again, but if Lerner can do that I'm not too pushed if he remains the owner. All we want is the issues we have fixed, who cares who fixes them? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 As long as the useless idiot has nothing to do with the club then I don't mind if his name is still down as owner. The most important thing is for him to stay away and at least the fool has promised to do that this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total utter bulls**t especially the last sentence that man had more disdain for the fan than Lerner. Oh how some forget the worse crap we went through and don't forget if he'd have stayed in control we'd never have had our greatest triumphs. He wanted sir Ron gone and yes men brought in like turner give me Lerner any day to that a***hole Ellis 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Why the need to "support" an owner? People get far too emotional about such things, as if there isn't enough emotion in football already. He's a terrible chairman granted and the sooner he is out of the role the better, but that's a different matter. Ellis was a special case mind. He ran the club into the ground to the point where we couldn't afford a loan fee for Erik Bakke. I don't think Lerner has ever shown the kind of contempt for the fans that Ellis did, not even close. Just idiocy. He's not had the time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
