I believe AM wants to play with attacking full backs. He spoke glowingly about our glory days and referenced full backs that could get forward and support the midfield and attack. His issue is that both full backs are kind of ok going forward, but when defending it's like watching the last scene in Carrie over and over again as if it was your first time.

Which glory days are these? If you mean 1981, if our squad gets any smaller we could begin to emulate the mighty 14.

Randy either get rid of AM now and find another manager in time for Jan.  Or put the club on the market.   Doing nothing now will cost us and you dearly.

How could you take a piss on your supporters like this Randy. The disrespect is astonishing.

Better get used to it. The Browns have been moaning about this kind of treatment from Randy for years.

A friend of mine tells me that the Lerners are so hated by Browns fans that when they bought Villa, radio stations and fan sites thought it was hilarious that finally they were getting some positive press.

We need to ramp up our fickleness and make him squirm.

Like there's any point, the twat doesn't even come to games.

At least with Doug there was a point protesting, with Randy, he won't even know. He's very fond of that Aston of Villa FC though, he has a tattoo and everything, he loves the burgundy and blue colours, I bet.

Today is a far, far cry from the 6-4 league cup semi-final rendition of 'One Randy Lerner'.

He really has let himself down. Doug, talk some bloody sense into the man. For us?

He could help himself a lot by getting in a CEO with some clout in football and some leadership, instead of his baby-faced, inexperienced chum.

I have been away all season and have not seen hardly any football. I still do not get why, why AM was appointed? I actually don't mind him, he seems a decent chap. I applaud his bottle for making the switch too.
I just do not understand the logic of this appointment because of the obvious reasons and the ill feeling towards him was there from the start so when our form is none existent Randy has just added more pressure to both the manager and himself.
