Apparently, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was keen to pit his wits against some of the best in Europe and unfortunately Aston Villa were unable to offer him Champions League football...
Ole: I want to manage in the Champions League.
Lerner: yes, well we won the European Cup you know, so thats great!!
Ole: That was a long time ago though.
Lerner: Yeah but no but yeah but no but shut up 'because we still won it!
Ole: But I want to manage in the Champions League soon.
Lerner: Well we've already won the European Cup once, so that means we're in a great position to push on next season and get back into that top four where we belong.
Ole: But you were rubbish last season, I'm not coming to Villa!
Lerner: But we won the European Cup!!!!
Ole: I know, thats 3 times you've mentioned it now, at least you are a proper Villa fan, its not very often that the owner acts like the fans. I respect that, but I'm going to go and manage Albion instead. It may take a while to sort my contract out though. My agent is trying to get me £3 million a year, but Jeremy Peaces first offer was a pack of Fruit Pastilles.
