I thought his official title was SFC Club Gladhander?

and he was as much use as a PL manager as a chocolate tea-pot.....

Are we sure that this is what is going on and that it isn't that Wreck-It Ralf has sold the grass to Chelsea?

You've bought a Season Ticket, but aren't going to use it? Yep, that'll show 'em.

The statement doesn't clearly explain if the deal with Adidas is still in place. It reads as if it IS still in place but the smoothing of the waters by the new board was to late to allow them time to make a new kit for next season.

Am I correct in thinking that, from the wording of that, that the deal with Adidas has NOT been cancelled, but it is just too late for them to make a kit for THIS season?

How can the figures be a shock to the new board? Gareth Rogers was the CFO of the old board.

Net worth: John Henry: £850m Kat Liebherr: £3bn

Into Kat's purse I would imagine. How much does she need? I mean her net worth is over 4 times that of Liverpool owner John Henry and yet their fans don't seem to be given the same austerity speech.

But that's impossible. Due to the design of SMS if you leave the game 3 mins early, you will actually get home 30 mins earlier!

More hot air. Can we at least rig him up to a generator?

Don't forget the bike ride where he gave a leg massage to a fan. Awfully important to the next season that sort of stuff......

Not a good sign that Rafe is spending 90 mins talking to the likes of Duncan. We have the most important Summer the club has had for years ahead of us and I'm sure there are far more important things he could be spending his time on! He seems to be more of a PR merchant and glad-hander than a proper Chairman. I can't see Levy spending 90 mins with Spurs equivilant of Duncan....

I don't think she has. This £3bn figure that is bandied about refers to the wing of the family that own the crane business. Marcus' company was MALI which wasn't anything like a big a company as people seem to think and since his death has been wound up. KL has no streams of business income now other than SFC so it's no surprise she is taking more interest in an asset that now we are in the PL gives her tens of millions of pounds every year and where she can sell players for £30m+.

A few more than who turn up to watch Morcombe v whoever the hell they are playing now?

Why would the FA want to 'take on' the FA Premier League?

Surely that's the best place to judge? I could hear our fans louder from across the pitch than the home ones. I was able to use two Villa s/t tickets through the in-laws for nowt, tho tbh it would be worth paying extra not to have to sit next to proper old skool fans like yourself and Griffo in the away end!

(Poor Old) Davey Moyes will end up at Villa.

Ah ok, it's a class thing..... Not enough 'lads' there for you liking, yes?

The Villa fans indeed were very quiet. For a meaningless end of season game I thought our support was good. And even IF some of them wanted to watch the game in silence does that really make them "pathetic"? If fans want to sing (then join a choir instead?) then fair enough, but to label those who don't share this love of song at a football match as 'pathetic' is rather moronic....

Yes. From my position in the Trinity Road home end the 3k Saints fans drowned out the 30k Villa fans for the entire game. I'm not sure what you are expecting?

Either you are a) a wind-up merchant or b) you are one of these dullards who cannot comprehend that the atmosphere that existed in the 70s and 80s doesn't exist anymore at any club. For 2014 standards our fans were very loud at Villa Park. I had two seats in the Trinity Road home end and can confirm that our fans out sang the very quiet Villa fans for the entire match. If you think it was 'complete silence' then you might like to consider a hearing aid as he missed the numerous OWTS, Father's Gun, Adam Lallana - he's off to Brazil and a couple of renditions of Jay Rodriguez to the 'Luis Suarez' song.

Liebherr is in advanced talks with Rupert Lowe regarding a reverse takeover of the club.
