AVFC Takeover Thread, Rumours, Gossip and Hearsay...all goes here

[VillaBill]

As a life long Villa fan of over 45 years i hate to see what is happening to the club. I followed the club through the excitement of the European cup and also through the old 3rd division, i was equally excited and expectant going to games in both of those periods.
I dont expect to win the premier league and i don't demand champions league football, those things have to be earned. However what i do expect is the team to at least try and entertain, if i pay for a ticket at the theatre to see Hamlet i don't expect the director to send the actors out with the lines for Annie get your gun, because they are only second and third choice actors and thats all they can manage. Give them the lines for Hamlet, they may surprise you.
Now for what i demand, send the team out to try and win instead of clinging on to a draw for 90 minutes. Yes there will be games that we lose but lets lose with some fight instead of a whimper. Maybe Lamberts remit is to survive, if so i believe the club is doing a disservice to the supporters and players. I believe the team is good enough to win at least as many as they lose, if the players are allowed to express themselves. Rant over.

According to talksport the other day hull are paying mega money in wages. There's rumours that some are in the 80k ow range and up

Correct. Silly money, but that is what you have to pay to avoid relegation.

exactly, so the comment about should of got diame, its obvious we couldn't offer the same type of wages, so AGAIN LERNER not LAMBERT.

Spot fooking on jimbop. clappy thingy

Its actually as far from spot on as you could be for all the reasons i've just stated above.

its not far from spot on, nor is it spot on, its OPINION.

Opinion based on what though?

Opinion based on my opinion, and that is my own and i do not have to answer to anybody, because that is MY opinion.

No-one is asking you to answer to them. I would however as it is an Internet forum been interested to find out on what basis you had formed your opinion but since you would rather be a smart arse it's not worth pursuing any further.

[Trotters]

Lambert is in America?  Hmmmm........maybe at the airport but that's as far as he'll get as I imagine he decided to go super defensive through customs and that will only draw attention. He'll be enjoying a full cavity search. Joe Cole is probably up there cuz I've seen no evidence of him anywhere else.

I'm flummoxed as to what Randy could possibly have to say.  He's not going to bollock him. Transfer window talk is pointless at the moment.

Very odd.

Imagine an obsessive compulsive person polishing a turd lol

lol

[Synopsis]

According to the press Lambert and Fox are over there to discuss the budgets for the next transfer window and the contract offers for Delph, Vlaar etc. With Lambert also expected to attend a few Internationals before returning to the UK. Nothing to see here

everyone is entitled to their opinion morph, an opinion doesn't have to be based on anything, as its opinion.

Jimbop I find it hard to comprehend anyone having an opinion based on nothing but better to let it drop.

I didn't know that cheeky wanker mourinho tried to shake lamberts hand before the finaly whistle, how focking disrespectful, surprised keano didn't have a word, he says in mail that if it happened at sunday football he would get knocked out for that, rightly so too.

[Guest]

cheeky sugarbag, I would of took his head off http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2787200/Roy-Keane-brands-Jose-Mourinho-DISGRACE-trying-shake-hands-end-game.html

I had a dream last night that we signed Messi and Ronaldo. I'm taking it as a premonition.

So senderos out injured it will give baker Okore and Clark a chance to get some action , still feel if Clark got some game time with cissokho vlaar and Hutton he will improve thought himself and baker were left in the deep end the last few years with no experience beside them

[gwentvillan]

on Clark "still feel if Clark got some game time with cissokho vlaar and Hutton he will improve"

A) have you been drinking ?
B) Do you need more water with your medication ?
C) are you on drugs ?

One of the worst CBs I have ever seen. He is NOT a CB !! Always lets his man get away from him (when he not trying to do Cruyff turns near his own box)

Was half decent in midfield a few years ago - time to get rid now. Championship player at best

[The Utterer]

Sadly i agree ^^ we are no match for virtually any Premier League teams attack with Clarke & Baker in the centre back positions... And we certainly aint gonna outscore many now are we

this is painfully quiet on here
