Lerner has done everything asked of him and more.  He's provided transfer funds and the wages to match.

Four years (almost) in and I'm struggling to think of any time that he's put a foot wrong.  He's given us a bit of pride back, it's easy to forget what a mess the club was under Doug.

Every club in the country (except for Chelsea and Man City, both exceptional cases) would love to have him in charge, including Liverpool and Man Utd.

His Father was a top businessman , he ( Randy) inherited his wealth.

He must mix in the right circles I agree, but we must not forget that he is no self made man, and in my opinion, there is a difference.

You're right, what Villa really needs is a self made owner like er Mike Ashley.

Agreed, but it's the other stuff he's done like the the Holte Hotel, restoring the mosaic and the Acorns deal that mark him out as such a class owner.

I wonder if we'll get some more classy sarcasm about the Holte Hotel and the mozaic when people start getting impatient for signings this summer.

We can have no complaints about Randy.

Just think if we had Hicks and Gillet? Luckily good old Doug saw right though them and told them where to go.

At least Liverpool had a good base to start with, we would have probably been relegated.

More like when. That is a definite, there are some who just love to moan and whinge.

Randy has done everything right, he knows Villa are going to spend money and not everything he invests in will pay dividends, but he knew that when coming on board and he still knows it now. This is a football club, you cannot guarantee success, but you can build a firm foundation where success should follow.

You'll be hard pressed to find anybody on here 'Moaning and whinging' about Randy.
Or anywhere for that matter, I'd say 99% of supporters are fully behind him and appreciative of what he's done for us.
