Randy Lerner - Discuss

[Chris Smith]

So in 14 games we've played 4 from the top 6 and a few from the middle and bottom and find ourselves mid table. I'm not sure how you can dress that up any other way than to say we're a mid table side. Not a particularly attractive one I'll give you but people are over hyping it as usual.

Saying he's been brought in to deliver mid table football is to miss the point that until recently, we'd not played anyone really decent, and we're currently on a spell with five points from seven games (which isn't midtable form or anything like it), with a lot of tough fixtures ahead of us.

We've drawn with 6th placed Newcastle, 11th placed QPR and 8th placed Everton and beaten 10th placed Norwich. Mid table teams, mid table results.

And shocking football to go with it.

with you clampy, i was all for giving mcleish a chance but that chance has been well and truly blown by him-utter garbage football if you can even call it football, time for randy to show his balls and admit a shocking mistake.

Why do you think so many people are so unhappy then, Chris?

I'm assuming you're going to trot out that lazy nonsense about him having been a Small Heath manager at this point, but other than that, why do you think it is?

Which one of Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal isn't in the top 6 ?

Liverpool.

Not that it makes any difference.

Sorry, I thought you were talking about last season's top six. My mistake.

Maybe we can get a point home against Liverpool. It would be brilliant.

Yes Chris, we are obviously over-hyping performances. Did you watch the last three games?

I am worried about our future.

A point is  too much for alex to aim for but how about making sure we dont lose by too many, hes good at that.

Different reasons for different people but amongst them:

Because people haven't come to terms with the new reality. They're still expecting us to be competing for a top 6 place.

Because a few performances have been bloody awful.

Because they thought we'd be getting Ancelotti.

Because he used to manage Small Heath.

Because unhappiness is the default setting.

Your post has no relevance to mine.

In that case Chris, Paul Faulkner is one of those people. He reckons we can get european football this season.

Nice dodge. Performances have no relationship with results then?

And that is an example of how much of a badly run show we are at the moment.  Faulkner comes out and says "European football is still the target."  Alex McLeish responds with "Errr, hang on a minute....".  Another example is McLeish's admission that has hasn't spoken to either Lerner or Faulkner about the January transfer window.  As Chris says, transfers are a big opportunity to do something for the positive, and yet apparently three weeks out our management and owner haven't discussed anything.  Unbelievable.
