Time for Randy to go?

[TonyD]

If you examine the real major decisions that the current owners / board have made in relation to the football side it does not look good.

1. Allowing Mon free reign to spend, spend, spend without any appearance of a structured approached [they rolled for a six and crapped out without any back up plan

2. The MoN leaving situation [what ever side of the fence you sit on this the whole thing was handled really badly by all involved]

2. The nightmare of there first managerial appointment

3. The selling of our [best] players

4. The even worse nightmare of the second managerial appointment

5. More selling of of our players

6. The sudden applying of the brakes in team investment

7. The General and his trick of dissapearing up his own arse

8. The invisible owner

9. The highly motivating letter to season ticket holders

10. The failure to act when averyone can clearly see that the manager appointment has been a failure

11. The disaster that is our accounts

The whole board should hang there heads in shame at what they have done

Well put.  All the important things have been handled badly.   That equates to why we are in the present sad state of affairs.

Our current squad + decent manger = going for Europa spot
Our current squad + half decent manager = mid-table
Our current squad + McBellend = oh shit
Next season's squad + McBellend = Relegation...?

For the first one I'd say it would need better than a 'decent' manager to get this lot into Europe.

And for the last I'd reserve judgement until we see what next season's squad is!

In McLeish's credit, weren't Newcastle the only team that went longer without losing a match than us this season? I may have imagined that, mind.

The problem was that he never got the hang of the winning bit.

Too many draws, I don't think our away form is the problem. It's the home form.

I think his ego won't let him ' go away' easily.

He's done some great things at Villa, but money is too tight to mention now, and without a team OFF the pitch - Manager, CEO . Scouting - he should sell now IF we stay in the Prem., we would be a good catch for someone with the £££'s to invest and the vision that Randy had to take us forward.

Unfortunately, when he took over, he didn't know what he was taking on, nor did we.

No-one saw a Man City coming, no-one saw a Managerial problem as large as we've had on the horizon, but both are reality, so in reality, it is time to 'do a deal' and we should be very grateful fo what he has done.

Maybe he can have a minority stake in the club still, and relax at Villa a bit more and be a fan, like us.

The problem with that is he will never be like us because he obviously has lost interest and no longer cares.

If he did still give a shit then we would not be in this mess because he would have axed McCabbage a long time ago.

I honeslty think our squad is good enough, is is much different to Newcastle's?

Which pretty much proves my point as pardew is doing much more than a 'decent' job up there.
