Got inebriated and insulted them over the phone.

Is this how it ends with Billionaire owners?
Hope so.

Can't believe it was that, just say 'silly twat' and put the phone down!
Wish King and Bernstein would come back, probably too honest for our lot!

That's what King said was the reason.

Xia has obviously had access to some decent money, he's spent between £100-150m on us, I don't know many chancers/shysters that have that kind of cash. When using those terms I think of someone like Knighton when he wanted to buy Man Utd and it turned out he could only afford Carlisle. Where the Xia money came from, and if there's any left, is another matter.

As an aside, it's some achievement that between Lerner and Xia are two to three hundred million out of pocket from owning Villa, and ave somehow turned us into a second division side that apparently can't pay it's bills on time. It's almost impressive in its levels of incompetence.

Sorry, just had to correct that!

We are actually ahead of Blues in the betting to get relegated next season.  I really hope we find a way through all this and ram it down everyone’s throats.

I think this might work to our advantage.  Less pressure and expectation.

Cardiff were one of the favourites to go down going into last season

The amounts we have wasted in the ownership of the last two owners set beside the position in which we now find ourselves is unbelievable until you put it in the context of the cast list.   Lerner, Krulak, MON, Houllier, Faulkner, McLeish, Lambert, Fox, Sherwood, Garde, Black, KMac, Xia, Xia's faceless boardroom cronies, Wyness, Round, RDM and Bruce.

Feast your eyes on that list of men with their own agendas and it is all in the words of Basil, blindingly bleeding obvious.

I'm not too sure if i'd put Houiller in that list to be honest.

I kind of agree with the Houillier bit as he was ok, except for the Liverpool love in and his initial comments about Villa.  The rest of them belong in the pit of misery thread.  An absolute shambles of a club and fully deserves to be where it is.  Unfortunately, we as fans, are the ones paying the price.  Sod Xia and Lerner, I have no sympathy for their wallets.  Do your homework, appoint sensibly and they wouldn't have been so badly out of pocket.  Shambles.
