Cleveland Browns GM to buy Aston Villa

Michael Neville has put an offer of £64,000,000 for the English Premier League team Aston Villa.
Aston Villa fans are angry with Doug Ellis, their current chairman, as they feel he has put no money into the club. The player's even reportedly made that claim to that effect in my local newspaper (before becoming Nationwide news). This cost their Manager, David O'Leary, his job.
Ellis has put a price of £57,000,000 on the club, so Neville's offer is likely to be considered.
Villa have a lot of issues to sort out, and it could effect their play in the new season in August.
It has also been rumoured that Sven-Goran Erikkson's agent has been seen at Villa Park today. (The ex-England Manager). It is unclear whether this is regarding a managerial or chairman role.
Neville is a life-long Villa fan, apparently, for some reason.
Rumours also are widespread that Cleveland Browns' franchise owner - Randy Lerner, is investigating a possible takeover. His interest is thought to be dwindling however, and as I write this, there are rumours he has pulled out of the race.
