A week or so ago, Villa announced that this season that we are to fore-go having a big name multi-million pound earning sponsor, and are instead to have the name of a local children's charity, 'Acorns', proudly emblazoned across each of our great players sweaty chests. Fantastic. What a truly amazing gesture in this day and age where football has become all about making bucket loads of money.
We may have an American owner, but don't for one second put him in the same bracket as Gillett & Hicks at Liverpool or the Glazers at Manure, those who see the clubs they have bought as purely money-making machines. Randy Lerner is a great man who goes about his business with decorum and sensibility, and who displays a real love and respect for the club and its fans. We are very lucky. Now all we need is for Martin O'Neill to stop wasting time with the BBC at the Euros and start signing the players that are going to help us break into the top 4 this season...
Let's hope fellow Villa fans Prince William and Tom Hanks are as happy as I am.
