From the Guardian
"When the North American billionaire Randy Lerner bought Aston Villa in the summer of 2006, the Villa fans' reception made a startling, sunny contrast to the one meted out to the Glazer family, who had blazed the US takeover trail at Manchester United. While Old Trafford had seethed with protest marches, hostile chants and "not for sale" graffiti, the Holte End rocked with optimism, star-spangled banners and celebratory chants of "USA! USA!""
And boy are we glad to have him. The times of the Dark Ages have now past and it seem that we have our Knight in shining Armour ( or should I say Armor). Randy's attention to detail and his genuine attachment to Villa, means that perhaps we are lucky in the fact that a when the club was up for sale, we could have had a multitude of "cowboys" who could have come in and asset stripped the club. The Anglophile approach of Randy and his Team means that our club is in safe hands. His legacy may be one of the brightest turning points in our illustrious history.
Doug Ellis was made a lot of decisions that were not popular. The sale of the Club to these bunch of Americans, may turn out to be his best one yet.
