we go again!
lamberts back and so am I.
update on what's been happening so far, Lambert handed in his resignation after the Spurs game, he even said his goodbyes to the players. this was turned down by Faulkner who then travelled together to meet Lerner. Faulkner and Lerner convinced Lambert to stay with some restrictions lifted. he can pick two new coaches and has a bigger summer transfer budget than last year and can bring into the fold the bomb squad. Lambert has promised to improve on the final league position and hopes this will bode well for him if and when a new buyer arrives. expect four quality signings from Europe this summer as Lamberts shopping list has been handed in. don't listen to all the false rumours that we can't afford to pay even our own academy players etc its just that lambert doesn't think they're worth 35000 a week and that also goes for other clubs released players asking upwards of 70,000 a week.
finally there is no offer on the table for a takeover at the moment as the initial buyers have walked, in fact that was before Lerners statement and no one else as of yet has shown any interest.

You tell a good story lol

I take it you were sitting round the table with them then.
This kind of statement is just what gets up most peoples back.
Total fabrication.

Why oh why doesn't Lambert just walk. Nobody wants him, he's useless, can't manage a football team to save his life and has taken Villa right down into the gutter, yet still he remains at Villa Park, what is going on! I am seriously worried for Villa now, I can just see it, no new owner, no money, no quality players, another season fighting relegation I am seriously losing the will to live. Why doesn't he go and manage Celtic, that would be perfect for him, I for one can never understand a word he says anyway, probably a good job really, I would be tearing my hair out no doubt! Somebody buy us please and send Lambert packing!

Because Celtic play a better brand of football than PL can relate too, so maybe Celtic would see it as a step in the wrong direction.

£25,000 a week is probably why he doesn't walk, no seriously according to Grealish he said his goodbyes after the Spurs game. Let's hope if there is no takeover then the promises of financial backing made in the New York meeting are upheld. Those who mock all I can say is remember Darren Bent? Lerner is still richer than most premier league owners and is entitled to do a u-turn.

Well I for one wouldn't want Lerner to do a u-turn. He isn't interested in Villa and I don't think he ever has been really, and that has been proved by his constant absence. He isn't passionate about the club, or football for that matter, he isn't bothered where we are in the Premiership, just as long as we survive then he will be happy because that's all he needs. We will never improve, and never make a challenge for Europe while we are in his hands. I have never known a more unenthusiastic owner in all my life. The restrictions he has placed on the club have been absolutely ridiculous and he constantly leaves us in the dark about what is happening. Find a new owner Randy and take that joke of a manager with you!

The truth of the matter is no one knows what's going on behind the scenes at villa, all we can do is be patient, you say lambert may not be the right man for the job but through this unstable time it's better to have him than no one at all

The technical facts are these; Any large company (which is anything over £50m), have to publicly confirm/deny sale rumours as part of their own sale process. Once posted, expressions of interest are invited. I understand from from former colleagues connected to ML BoA, that FIVE such EOI's have been received and are being evaluated. 3 American, 1 Russian and 1 UAE. This evaluation takes at least two weeks so don't expect anything before June 10th ish. But the reality is thus; a £200m business with £117m income and assets worth £65m. doesn't take a genius to work out that a PL club can make money but only if successful. Catch-22 really. A case of "invest to succeed", something Mr Lerner sadly failed to grasp!

Hope you are right

Villa don't have to publicly deny or confirm anything as they don't have shareholders so to say, also Chelsea was sold in seven days and Fulham in less so I don't know we're you got the two weeks from.

Re'sone major area the club are failing thatsgardless of all the mush we are talking about. us the loyal supporters that have to balance ever more home bills etc while officialson huge salaries (paid by us) barely utter a word to the clubs most valuable asset. the FANS, WE have the right to know all that's going on. to treat the people in this off hand manner is totally unacceptable, iv'e tried to put this point to the club but don't have any response at all it's just not good enough!

12.) 11 Jun 2014
Well said. WE are the club
