Randy Lerner exclusive on the OS

[pmarachi]

People around here just seem to love to nitpick and get annoyed about anything they can...

I am still not sure if we are all hating Randy Lerner for not signing high profile big names and pouring out cash, or if we all hate him for his dedication to "Modern Football" and putting money ahead of the club...


...but now I get it.  It is for using a word that people "don't like" in an interview.

I have to admit I had to reread the post to check it wasn't real.

Er you really sure? which interview?

Wind your neck in pmarachi, thats just one person who fell for the obvious hoax (before you anyway!).

For the record, I don't even have a mild dislike of Randy, let alone hate him & I suspect many here feel the same.

Mind you, if he ever does call us a 'franchise', I might have to revise that opinion.  Unlikely to ever happen though, since he called us a 'proud Victorian club' in the Times article.

A ban for a knee jerk reaction to a wind up post is a bit harsh surely?

Here is the article

He should be more communicative as what he says gives confidence to me that he is in itfor the long term. Well done Randy.

[Phil from the upper holte]

He's in it for the long term providing we keep the wage bill low. Poor interview in my opinion

[Shrek]

The article says absolutely nothing, bar what we already know, same thing he has been saying since he arrived about the 3 areas he wants to improve.  Bodymoor, ground and squad.

What should he have said instead?

And can you think of any examples of other chairmen saying the things that you want Randy to say?

[Rigadon]

Typically understated stuff.

He fit our feeling that a modern manager needs to balance the hysterical urgency to win and win quickly with the equally crucial need to not squander the work of our academy.

So he was told that a few losses playing the kids is ok?

It's surprised me that between him Faulkner and 24 possible names in the frame for the vacant manager position, that Big Eck was the man they chose.

In fact it worries me somewhat.

The ban has been lifted as I mis-read the post. Apologies.

He could let us know what we might do once we got rid of 2 or 3 very very big wages players like Heskey and Bebe. 

He say Alex Ferguson say he made right choice for manager. Is Alex McLeish right choice or not for us.
