Lerner was a god after his first 2 years in charge, how things quickly turn around.

As quick as our journey from champions league to relegation candidates.

Lerner is our owner, not "some American". He did not arrive as a football expert, but as a man with some cash which he duly put into the club.

He can be critisised for not recruiting sufficient football knowledge onto the Board and into the club. But crude xenophobia is uncalled for.

Agreed there is no place for that language

I was less than endeared to the last but one manager hailing from across the Channel though that had nothing to do with his country of origin just the many professional and personal attributes that used to wind me up related to his approach to Villa.

So you think writing in capital letters on an internet forum will help?

The problem is Randy was the savior after Doug ,Lambert the savior after TSM and both have failed.

So after calling for change which we got the change is no better or in some ways worse than before so what to we call for now.I think the fans have just lost the fight as much as the players now

Totally agree with this.

The people they succeded is the main reason why both are getting off lightly at home games although I suspect that will change if we lose at Millwall and then are losing at home to Newcastle.
