Come on - how do we do it?

All write to Randy? Get the bed sheets out? Wave white hankies?
It may be re-arranging the deckchairs but I want to DO something!

Westleys need not apply.

The dreadful attendance for the Soton match made the press notice - but the only way that *really* works is if ST holders stop going as well as the walk ups.....

This acton needs many fronts/brigades (SERIOUSLY):

The Laptop Tendancy
The Upper Holte People's Front
The Popular Posters' Front
The Witton Casuals
The Holte Silent Majority

Write to Randy, write to the other shareholders, get the press on board......it needs to be united though. So someone's got to take out the Westleys. How much do the Fewtrells charge these days?

Randy would be the wrong target.  Tom Fox on the other hand ...

Do you honestly think the club doesn't know we want to win more games and play better? And that most fans at this point want to hit the manager reset button?

I think they get the message loud and clear. Randy just disagrees (and presumably Fox). He is sticking by Lambert. Shrug. If we are in the bottom three by Christmas then maybe he will make a move.

lol. Maybe!

I believe Lerner is more likely to spend big in January than sack Lambert. But then again I thought that last season and he did neither so what do I know? :)

Lerner has never sacked a manager mid-season despite there being protests of various sorts against all of the managers after MON. In some ways this has proved a correct decision as we've stayed up every year. I honestly can't see him getting rid of Lambert, not now as he's just given him a contract and wants to sell the club.

If Lerner were a more conventional sort of billionaire, more hard nosed and hands on, he would see that he has the simple choice of losing his manager or losing his fan base. It should be a no brainer but Lerner has established a culture at Villa Park where he and his hirelings know best and the supporters have become customers. Randy Lerner thinks marketing techniques and media management are what keep people like us coming back for more.
The old ways are the best for message transmission. When Lambert walks to the dug out make circle with your lips and make a noise like a cow.

If we lose to Palace and he still doesn't sack him, boycott the Leicester game or turn up and leave a card on your seat stating the obvious,then go home before the match starts.Westley ( so obviously planted by the club) can then sit there on his own.
