How the fuck is our average wage as high as £56K per week?

It doesn't add up.


Which is why the story is complete bollocks.

I think Randy wants out.

I think this has been obvious for some time, personally i think he has realised just what it costs to achieve any kind of success in the Premiership and even to maintain a team in the division and he's had enough.

Worth also remembering that although he no longer has a direct stake in what was his MBNA banking corporation, he still retains an interest and still gleans an income form that, in these times when banks are being hit left right and centre, he simply may no longer have the money.

And I think people (this comment not aimed at you) need to understand that this doesn't make him a *insert expletive*.

Quite agree, lets face it how many things in life do you jump into thinking its one thing only to find its something entirely different and an albatross around your neck that you can't wait to get rid of.

If and its a big IF, Randy Lerner decided to jump ship and sell up, I would be the first to say thanks for rescuing us from Ellis and in moving the club forward somewhat, only wish he had deeper pockets, because you have to say he's a good Chairman on the whole.

Agree but, as per Randy, I think Ellis thought he was doing what was best.

Rigadon: No question in financial terms Ellis handed over a club in good order and good standing, and i think its fair to say, that's something that we should put on his epitaph for his time at Villa ( you could also make a few points where Ellis was concerned that were not so good!!!) point is Ellis handed over to Randy Lerner, so found the right man at the time, but, obviously things change.

Randy hasn't been over for a single game so far this season .GK has disappeared off the forums. I find that more worrying

So Randy is one those fair weather fans that are not going the games anymore then.

That is depressing!

By handed over you mean "sold at a huge profit after making a small fortune while running the club".
