In a time when football clubs increasingly are a plaything for multi-billionaires and a way for average performers to earn obscene amounts of money, and football is becoming a product to market and sell as entertainment to armchair supporters around the world; Lerner tried (superfluosly or not) to make Aston Villa about the club's heritage and its supporters.A nice mosaic and some free scarves don't hind the fact that we're a billionaire's plaything with lots of average performers earning obscene amounts of money. The whole General posting on sites was nothing more than a "hearts and minds" marketing initiative as well, one that ended up going badly wrong.Agree, and we must have been muppets for thinking he was here for real, for the long termI know I do !I have worked with Americans and I'll say no more.

Eto is on £25m a year, in Dagesthan! What? Come on Randy. Get real about the wage bill! Something really ain't right in the state of football, or our penurious state either for that matter. This article really depresses me.I wonder if Mr Anzhi would like to run a nice little football club with great tradition, a fantastic crowd and a 'sensible' wages policy; oh and good local transport?http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-15491600

Sounds like a nice place to live. Also the chance that they may go for a foreign manager. What a nice place for MON to get back into football. I'd love to see him try to sue them when he got the sack.
