Randy Lerner exclusive on the OS

[PaulWinch again]

Doesn't look to be much direction at the moment other than down.

[Risso]

Lerner can dress it up how he likes, but the fans aren't stupid and can see that we have a crap manager managing a team shorn of its best players which is now light years away from being in the same class as the top 6.

[Mazrim]

I'm affraid it's becoming obvious to me that for all his good intentions, in football terms Randy really doesn't know what he's doing at all.
How disappointing.

Incredibly disappointing.

The pisser for me is that yes, even though we have lost two of our better players this year, we still have the likes of Bannan, Ireland, Albrighton, Delph and N Zog - players that a decent manager might actually get something out of.

Was Randy there tonight, or did he have important business in the US (mowing the lawn / rented DVD to take back / ailing budgie)?

He was checking his sons homework for errors.

[Compass]

He was doing dirty things to SAF's letter.

Is it merely a coincidence that when the shit was hitting the fan over the new manager, selling our best players and spending no money, that Lerner was nowhere to be seen.
Now, the shit is hitting the fan over there, with the Browns being utterly shite again, and Lerner is over here.

He seems to have shown at both teams that he cannot choose a manager for toffee, especially as the NFL draft system and wage cap means weak teams can traditionally get stronger over time.

Why did he not just appoint Mark Hughes?

Why did he not just appoint Mark Hughes?

Quite. Would he have done any worse?

Who knows, but we might have played a bit more football.

[Greg N'Ash]

I thought hughes was a rubbish option but at the time  i thought we were probably aiming higher. In hindsight once you knew it was Martinez or Mcliesh you wonder why he wasn't in the running. Wages probably.

[eastie]

the demise of our club in the last 18 months is shocking and totally unacceptable, from the moment faulkner was appointed we have been on a downward spiral-hugely uninspiring and i fear the slide could become out of control and see us going down-time to look for a new owner randy if you cannot afford  anymore.
