I did try and read this but by the time I'd read the 1st paragraph I realised I'm not interested in a single thing he has to say.

Top 10 Charlatans of the Lerner Era
1 Randy I was not quite as bad as Doug
2 Martin shyster Oniel
3 Tom Fox
4 Paul Lambert
5 Gabby
6. Zogbia
7 Micah
8 Black
9 Faulkner
10 Lescott
Have I left any one out?

Gabby was good for the first 5 years.

Put Stephen Ireland in instead of him

Good point. Also, have we forgiven Habib Beye so soon? I would hope not.

Did he do anything that needed forgiveness?

‘Deluded wanker’ would be more apt.

I never took the personal criticism personally.

Apart from banning protest banners, ordering stewards to drag banners out of the hands of fans and so on. Twat.

Didn't take to him at the consultation group not long after he arrived. Same went for that Charlie Wijeratna.

‘Deluded horrendously over paid wanker’ even more apt?

The fact that we can genuinely name an entire match day squad not just a top 10 of charlatans (The General, Dim Tim, the training ground bullies Karsa and Culverhouse and Stephen Ireland could also easily be on such a list) just shows the complete and utter mess we got ourselves in.

In many ways It's incredible we didn't do a Sunderland really.

Amazed how he stepped into a good job after abject failure.

The one thing of note was he said Delph could have left for nothing, but he signed a new deal allowing Villa a transfer fee. Maybe we were a little harsh on Delph under those circumstances.
It just goes to show how poor we were run & how much money was wasted on our last summer transfer window in the prem. No wonder it gave Di Matteo problems to try to replace a squad,
then Bruce to come & help turn us around. Here is hoping that with Zia at the top things are run
more professionally.

No, I’ve erased them from my memory. In my mind they never played for the Villa.

“It was a difficult environment for anyone to come into. I still think Remi Garde will find his way into the Premier League. He’s got too much knowledge and experience not to.”

Absolutely no chance at all, the guy just hasn't got the right personality, he's the main one I blame for the relegation, he was hopeless.
