Why are the board and manager getting off lightly?
« on: January 24, 2013, 01:00:26 AM »
I find it amazing with the run of results we've had, the poor football, the negative records being set every other week, the continued lack of leadership through out and the club and the continued wall of silence amongst other thing, that I have yet to hear any singing or chanting at matches about PL, PF or RL. I remember many other managers getting more stick for less including GTmk2, and remember songs directed at Doug. But after all the shit of this season the fans are not yet vocal about it. Why is that?

Apathy, patience... a mix of the two?

Maybe people are sick of caring when the owner,manager and a lot of the players clearly dont. It's hard to get yourself worked up when you know nothing is going to change. The manager appears to be staying regardless and he doesn't appear to be being backed either

What can we do other than protest with our feet and not go to matches

People have realised there are more important things in life than Villa/football.  Like paying the bills and looking after your family.

That is true,but when that is taken care of your hobbies become passions,the only thing in our control is to boycott games,that would soon get the message home loud and clear.

The reason Randy doesn't get any stick is because he's never fucking here, we see more of haleys comet than we do him!

Some around me in the Lower North started joining in with the 'Sacked in the morning' chant from the Bradford fans. A very small minority, though.

I think we'll lose to Newcastle on Tuesday, that minority could well turn into a majority chant, not that our brainless owner will do anything about the crisis!

How did those people know enough about your teaching skills to want you sacked ?

But there's also a realisation that any managerial sacking should have happened in late-December, in order to give the incomer some time to sort stuff out through January. Protests right against Lambert now will not achieve much, other than giving the protesters something to warm themselves.
Railing against Lerner is - as someone above says - somewhat pointless since he's not around.

Maybe the target should be Faulkner, since he is culpable and in place.

They would still say there were 32000 there if it was empty. There have been a few shockingly low crowds this season but 32k comes on the screen.

We're not really a patient bunch in general. Maybe we can see the long term plan. Imagine if we'd been beat by Bradford last season?..

Lerner has had an easy ride of it for some time, but remember, he's never at the ground so any voices of dissent are wasted anyway.
