I vote for this option.

I just want to see Randy at a game. For christ's sake I know you're beloved Browns play on Sunday but you could surely jet to and fro pretty easily for a Saturday morning start.

I'm glad they no longer address the forums, that was cheesy in my opinion. No point in collaborating with an internet fanbase, that's lame.

I really hope they stay for the long haul though. There's no doubt Lerner has a love for Villa but in order to compete we'll simply have to wait for our cycle again. He's got to prioritize at this point in his life. He has two incredibly valuable, mediocre investments to balance.

There's only one Randy Lerner.

He hired McLeish and you're still chanting his name? Whatever floats your boat.

Does the word 'obsession' mean anything to you?

Or 'monomaniac', maybe?

I don't know if we have seen the last of them but the silence is worrying.

It's always been pretty quiet, but not this quiet.

Good word.  I'm going to try and use that.

I fully believed in the Randy loves Villa and wanted to pour his heart and soul into the club.  I never expected him to pour the entire contents of his wallet into the club.  He is supposed to be, as the general portrayed him, not just an owner but the caring custodian of our club and I would at least expect him to show his face or speak to us now and again.

And anyway, what's to worry about? - he's got Doug here as his "in loco Randy" figure ....
Actually, I'm now cacking myself.

It is remarkably easy to be high profile when things are going well and your popularity is sky-high based on nothing more than the fact that you're not Doug.  Rather more difficult to maintain that profile and balls it out in more tricky times - just like Doug did on countless occasions.

I doubt this is the case, but its almost as if he didn't like all the grief he got last year, appointed McCleish to spite us and has then stomped off in a fit of pique.
