Radio WM

Well, I suppose that if someone was trying to second guess Lerner's level of interest in the Villa then they might think that two possible measures could be the amount of money he is spending on the club and the number of times he attends matches.  That's all.  Those might be reliable measures or they might not but in the absence of any other information some people will speculate however they can.  It's not something I indulge in myself but I can see why people do.

But to suggest he isn't a fan I would respectfully suggest is wide of the mark.  Not only is he a fan, he happens to be the one fan with the ability to alter things at the club.

He used to spend shitloads on players and now he doesn't, I don't blame him, I wouldn't either but it's pretty difficult to argue with those who say his level of interest has dropped.

I enjoyed last season more than most, it bought us all together, but if we want to actually compete at the other end of the table then Randy needs to spend serious money. I'm not sure he ever will again.

Tonight they focused on the situation 3 years ago when both Villa & Spurs were chasing 4th spot - Villa's wage bill was higher than Spurs. The difference is so stark in the status of each club now. Some fans were blaming Lerner for giving up on the club and now appears disinterested. Has Lerner been over to watch his club this season?

I'd say this is a pretty good and topical debate to be holding on this anti Villa station.

Voice in the wilderness here but I think WM and Paul Franks do a pretty good job overall covering the Villa and I for one, would miss their coverage if it was taken away.

Not when it's all they ever talk about.

Welcome to the forum, "call me Franksy".

It wouldn't be so bad if it just covered ourselves and Blues. That would leave room for enough debate. Why the hell we have to have Wolves and Albion on there all the time is beyond me. The station should cover those areas where the predominant local paper is the Birmingham Mail. If that means it needs changing to RadioB then so be it. Those presenters should also take a good sniff of Olbas Oil before the show. Most of them sound as if they have got a blockage in their noses.

I only heard the first ten minutes of the show from 2 today but in that time we were never mentioned....

Has it occurred to anyone that the reason why WM are on Villa's back and why a lot of our fans criticise is because the current position the club is in is frankly nowhere near good enough?!

This.

Well if that's the case, why aren't WM jumping up and down on Neil Moxley's neck?

What's the relevance of Neil Moxley here?

Fair criticism is one thing; their coverage of Villa is neither fair nor impartial.

Listened to WM while sitting in traffic after the game today. It's not just us that's fed up with them - a Wolves fan came on saying 'how about a bit of positivity? We've won 7 and drawn 1 of our first 9 games and all you can do is go on about how poor we were in the first half of a game we won 2-0'. Maybe 'Franksy' is just a misery-arse
