Looks like The Villa are gonna be taken over this evening/by the end of the week. Likely buyers are either the superbly named Randy Lerner (head of MBNA, owner of an NFL team and probably owner of an MC HAMMER style gaff) or Michael Neville (lifelong Villa fan, plenty of cash and plenty of rich mates). Neville made a 64m bid this afternoon.
As a Villa fan it's exciting stuff, but it's also another step towards the "if you ain't got a sugar daddy, then you ain't got SHIT!" reality of the Permiership now. Villa could end up another millionaires plaything and start making stoopid 20m bids for whichever footballing mercenary happens to be flavour of the month.
