Brilliant, this is worth it just for the comments from the Stone Island wearing mongs in Facebook.

I swear every one of the pricks on Facebook calling him scum and threatening to boycott the club has this gooseberry fool on their page...

What is it about McClean that appears to incite hatred from certain football fans at every turn?

I need to catch up on the Villa news myself as I assumed we were pretty much dead weeks ago so have been avoiding any updates. Have we been rescued then?

After hastily reading a couple of articles my understanding is that the NSWE group (owned by Nassef Sawiris and Wes Edens) have bought a 55% stake in the club (each of those guys having 27.5%). Nassef Sawiris is an Egyptian billionaire and West Edens is an American who co-owns the Milwaukee Bucks (NBA franchise). Dr Tony has the other 45% and is now the co-chairman. They're going to 'invest significantly' (we've heard that before...) and are expected to, longer-term, complete a full takeover.

They're all the same gooseberry fool for brains Stone Island wearing plebs.

I had an argument with one on Facebook asking him to put himself in the shoes of a Catholic brought up in Derry, his response was...

"I DONT CARE!!!! JAMES WAS THE ONE WHO BOUGHT POLITICS INTO FOOTBALL"

His profile picture is a bunch of skinheads outside a pub with an Ulster Unionist flag with a Stoke City badge in the corner of it

Ah okay, thanks for the summary. Hopefully this time we've done some due diligence to make sure these guys actually have the money available to commit to their investment claims...

It’s just a load of poppycock.

I feel about the same as McClean when it comes to poppies.

I used to give the old man in the shopping centre a couple of pounds and put the poppy on my jacket as a mark of respect for the old dears.

These poppy fascists have completely put me off wearing one, it used to be a mark of respect for those who died defending the country from invasion, now it's use to shove nationalism down the throats of anyone who isn't a Rockport wearing, Staffordshire bull terrier walking, Carlsberg-drinking twat.

I'd prefer to not give them the satisfaction.

Surprised Moggy has not been all over the new Rovers kit, dangerously close to a throw back to the Tesco Carrier bag look

They have gone back to yellow as an away kit, wish they would stay away from solid yellow kits, and stick to quarters (Even the yellow and black they did a while back was okay)

[Rex Kramer]

Did they do a 'design a football badge' competition around the local primary schools?

People in glass houses and all that

Why would I care? It’s none of my business if Rovers think that is a decent kit.

[more heat than light]

It's got nothing on the new Brentford away kit.

[Preezy]

Looks like a Dunkin’ Donuts uniform.

[finish.last]

There's pretty strong rumours that Thierry Henry will be Villa manager for the new season. That's a heck of a gamble if it's true, I think.

On the other hand, another season of Bruce is difficult to get excited about. Better the devil you know...?

[Moggy]

I am not a big fan of our new home kit. It makes us look like Middlesboro and the sponsor sounds like an insult.

It’s only a good casino if you are a dunderhead.
