I'm sorry, but I'm not buying this one bit. There's no long term plan, there never has been.

Seems to me the aim is to survive in the premiership on as cheap a budget as possible .

stay in the league until Randy can sell. That I imagine is as simple as it is.

I think there is a fairly obvious plan to be honest.

I also don't agree with comparisons with O'Leary either. The football may have been poor the past few weeks and the results these past five or six games not good enough, but I must have missed him acting like an utter ******.

We're trying to compete on a budget that's manageable to the club, not doing it on the cheap, that's nonsense.

I can remember there was a similar article on here when McLeish was in charge where he was talking about building for the future,we were all given the impession Lerner was right behind him.He was sacked a week or so later.

All this 'vision for the future' would be fine if we looked like we were progressing. I could believe at the end of last season, but at the moment we're going backwards.

I think the fans played a huge part in that. We made it clear we didn't want him, which left Lerner with no choice.

The plan:

1) Reduce wage bill - check
2) Stay up - check (season end 13)
3) Secure services of better players by offering improved contracts until one of the sky4 offers £10m+ (in progress)
4) Stay up (season end 14)
5) Bring in a couple of average players at the end of the January window to show the fans our 'ambition'
6) Keep spouting endless bullshit so fans buy season tickets next year.

I'm sorry, but Aston Villa, like many other clubs is purely a money making machine. Even if Randy invested heavily in the team so we bought the league it would stink.

Also I'm confused as on Saturday we had a "Project" and now it is a "Vision".

Aren't visions what happen when somebody has a psychotic episode - like a hallucination?
Maybe Lambert is seeing things we aren't ;-)

This time last year we conceded 15 goals without reply in three matches.  So far this season we've conceded 25 in total, only 3 more than Man Utd.

Yes, we've got some problems to sort, but to suggest that we're going backwards when one of the major problems of last year has been largely resolved is overly negative.

If you think our performances have moved forward from the end of last season, then I'd say you're being overly positive.

Clubs with far lower gates and far less income seem to be doing it much better than us and achieving far better results .
If the club continue in this vain then the better players will wish to leave for clubs with more ambition and we will eventually slip the way of wigan.

Comparing our performances over Christmas this year to our performances over Christmas last year I'd say we're a million miles ahead.  I'm absolutely convinced the team at the moment, even in their current run of poor form, wouldn't ship 8 (eight) goals at Chelsea, nor would they get turned over at home by Wigan.

Is the team performing as well as it did towards the end of last season?  No, of course not, but given it's largely the same group of players, what's to say they won't turn things around again this season like they did last?
