Like you Chris, the board in my view have a lot of goodwill in the bank. It's not like this manager decission was made out of spite. He genuinely thinks it can work. So if this goes sour then there will be a dent in that good will and it will make you nervous as to who then will then go and get.

Agreed.

I said to my mate in was sitting next at the west brom game. I wonder what the stat is on lost possession from a thrown in. We never keep the ball! It's shocking!

At the end of the day, the only way any of us can make the club do what we want is the day we become billionaires and buy the damn thing!
Until then...

Gloryhunter? We've won two trophies in my lifetime and like i said i did every game under several managers even when the football was crap.

So why stop now? You've seen us be shit, you've seen us be not so good, you are a self-confessed home and away, stand up if you love Villa die hard, why are you giving up when we are merely average?
I put it to you that you are a bullshitting internet bragster, you are probably like me, a once in a while fan, but unlike me you feel the need to feed an online persona, you attend the odd game but on H&V you act the ultimate fan. Until McLeish came along, now you have a Gregnash cop out, no need to pretend you are Villa 'til you die, now you can be a genuine armchair rantist with a genuine excuse why you can't be arsed.

When I win the EuroLottery on Friday, I'm buying Messi for the Villa.  Unless anybody on here would rather I bought, ooh, a centre back, for instance.
 
Or a creative midfielder - but couldn't we just get Makoun back? The Greek economy has to collapse any moment now,

Yes, I'm hopping on the 'Real Ale Bus' via some pubs and the Church End Brewery. See you there, I'll be the one in the Tamworth shirt!

Apparantly, according to the Birminham Airport based poster on VT, Lerner is 'in the house'.
Arrived at BHX earlier today (in his new plane).

He'll probably sell it to Liverpool next year.

I think we've seen the last of the General. Isn't his new job in the States a full time one?
As for Mr. Lerner, whether you like it or not he's going to be in charge for a very long time unless someone comes along and offers him silly money for the club and in the current world economic climate that isn't likely to happen.
The one thing I wish he'd do is to appoint someone of Steve Strides calibre to the board to oversee the day to day running of the club.
We've all got to accept that our owner is media shy and that he is never going to be like HDE and make public pronouncements about the club every time a microphone is shoved in front of him.
Nice to hear he's arrived in the country ( BCV be very afraid, he's obviously been on here reading what you said about him) it'll be interesting to see the crowds reaction to him on Sat.

The forward cabin offers a four (4) place club arrangement - no use for this since Martin left maybe Spurs or Liverpool would be interested?

Had one of these Falcons before had trouble making the jump to light speed but came with a complimentary Wookie pilot and R2 unit so more than made up for it.
