Randy Lerner - Discuss

[PeterWithe]

Lerner has always seemed to try to do right by us fans, I think a lot of what has gone wrong could have been avoided with another experienced CEO. I mean how much do they earn? Half a million a year? I'd rather we tried a different man in that role before trying to drive Lerner out.

Get Ian Taylor as CEO .  At least he knows how we feel ..

[TonyD]

Get the Werewolf on the board....

[CJ]

Get David Dein in. Worked wonders at Arsenal

[hulkamania]

Sir Graham Taylor as CEO. Either that or someone like Triple H so he can kick some ass in that board room

Agree, good shout for Sir Graham Taylor. He knows how to organise and get discipline back into the club - if you rewind to 1987 when he was quoted as saying ''the club is a shambles'' - just like it is now. Get him and Ian Taylor in - men with real heart for the club - not some twat from across the pond who turns up when he feels like it. Just wish I still had my shares - this jerk bought them lock sock and barrel in 2006 and can do what the fuck he likes.

Graham Taylor has already had a role like that at Villa and it didn't work.
Randy Lerner is a  board of one, we all know it and he'll do whatever the hell he likes.

I noted on Twitter that Tayls posted a #longhardwinter.........he already knows how we feel. I wonder what Sid and Macdonald think of it all?

[Dave Clark Five]

Get the Werewolf on the board....

He was at Swansea and enjoyed being recognised. He used to be a bit of a loon but he's alright noooooooooowww!

This is what I don't understand.  Lerner will fork out £65K a week for somebody like Heskey, but when it comes to running the club he appoints a customer services manager from his credit card company.

He seems to put much (too much?) emphasis on employing people he likes.

[TheSandman]

Or people who will just do exactly what he says.

And let's not forget that just about everyone was falling over themselves to sell their shares to him.

[bertlambshank]

And let's not forget we didn't have a choice.

[dave.woodhall]

And let's not forget we didn't have a choice.

Yes we did. If enough shareholders had turned down the offer he couldn't have compulsorily have bought them. And please let's not pretend that more than a handful of us didn't sell with pleasure.
