I wonder how shy he'd be if we were winning every week and challenging at the top?

After we had gone 3rd at Ewood Park in mid-February, with 5000 away fans singing "who the fuck are Man United" without any irony, nobody seemed to care how many games he attended then.
The millions we already get from TV deals hasn't made the football anymore enjoyable, and selling out in re-naming our home would guarantee nothing more than more money in the pockets of agents and average players. The best players will still go to City, Arsenal, Chelsea, United and Liverpool.Players, managers and owners will come and go but the names Aston Villa and Villa Park, along with the club colours, are untouchable so far as i'm concerned. At any price.

I'm not sure what your point is here. Is it that Lerner doesn't seem to get any stick when the team seems to be doing well?
You asked if he would be basking in the limelight if things were going well. You heard just as much from him when things were going well, as you do now
