Have we seen the last of Mr. Lerner and the General?

What's Villa's loss is Albion's gain.

Other way around surely?

[Blackcountry Villa]

They're only around when things are going well.

Irony right there ^^^^^

Beat me to it.

It was their fucked up decision to appoint him though, now tjhey're hiding. It's their fault that i'm staying away.

At least there are some positives to their current stewardship then.

Your little wise-crack would be all well and good if it was just me staying away but theres at least 10,000 more like me that can see the board are liars and clueless and that McLeish is a shite manager.

So pleased I'd drank my glass of wine before reading the above. It's prevented my keyboard being covered in wine.

Yes. I get your meaning.

Good leadership isn't just about throwing money at a problem.

I don't necesarily want Randy to just blindly throw even more money at the club - that's a major reason we're in the situation we are now - but as a minumum I'd expect to see solid decision making and good stewardship of the club.

It is hard to look at the situation and the momentum now, as we career backwards at a frightening rate to where we were in 2006 when they arrived, to say we've been well managed of late.

I'm not staying away because things aren't going well, i went to every game under GTmk2, DOL and Houllier, i'm staying away because our owners are clueless and i said i'd stay away if they appointed that piss poor excuse for a manager.

Don't worry if McLeish bores his way to 8th billy bullshit will be back and you can kiss his arse again. Mugs.

I can't stand any more of this.

For someone whose every post on here for a few years has been to lecture us what a "proper supporter" is (ie one that stands up), to hear you blather on fucking endlessly about how you're not going anymore because you don't like this, you don't like that, blah blah fucking blah really does take the biscuit.

Lots of us think we're badly run, lots of us find the manager uninspiring, but guess what? We still go to the games because we support the club.

You've spent god knows how long telling us we don't take enough away, we don't sing enough, we don't stand enough, blah blah fucking blah, and here you are now, telling us you in every other post how you're not going at all this season. You're a boring fucking hypocrite.

We get your point. Now change the record before one of the moderators remembers the fact that you were banned from here previously, and the only reason you're posting here at all is because when we moved to the new software, a few banned users had their bans erroneously not ported across.

Excellent rant, paulie.  Truly excellent.

Randy did throw money at the club and it was wasted.  What we need is managing properly, what we seem to be doing is lurching from one moment to the next. 
Randy needs to get a grip and sort it out not sit in his office in the states keeping quiet.
As for your rant, to job

[E I Adio]

Excellent rant, paulie.  Truly excellent.

Yes, good effort. I think a few more fucking's would have been perfectly in order though.

[AV82EC]

A rant of true beauty.  Post of the Month. ;-)

Of course, but those three manager's never came from Small Heath did they?
