Birmingham City after 32 matches in the 2010-11 season:

				W		D		L		F		A		GD		P
B'ham City		32		8		14		10		34		44		-10		38

Aston Villa after 32 matches in the 2011-12 season:

				W		D		L		F		A		GD		P
Aston Villa		32		7		14		11		35		44		-9		35

Oh Fuck!!!!

better goal difference phew !!

And a goal more.

As I've posted on another thread, our position compared to THEM last season is frightening!
If we do not go down it will be a minor miracle.
Then McLash will stay and we'll struggle even more next season!

Take some comfort from the remaining games, cannot see Bolton or Blackburn getting the points needed. How low have we sunk?

I saw Gerald Ratner give a keynote speech recently and the content related to how he managed to completely screw up his business with a handful of appaling decisions. It was quite amusing to hear him talk so candidly about his idiotic mistakes but a couple of things struck me at the time that could relate to Villa. Firstly he said that he had taken advice from the wrong people. Secondly he said that a couple of decisions were so stupid that his colleagues didn't question him about them because they were convinced he knew things which they didn't which made it a good decision.

Is Lerner the new Ratner?

I am touching cloth I must confess and have no confidence in the manager getting anything right.
He's like a vampire and the whole episode from his appointment to the mess we unsurprisingly find ourselves in has sucked the lifeblood out of our support. The owner is ultimately to blame but McLeish is the most inept manager we could have appointed.

Is his win ratio the worst in our history now?

sometimes these guys think because they have made money elsewhere they can turn there hand to anything without any

experience of that business , oh dear

I just want him to go. Terrible football, negative tactics, doesn't even try against the bigger teams, or against Spurs, talks down our chances and attempts to lower our expectations. Well I've had it. Fuck off McLeish, just fuck off.

[TonyD]

Lerner isn't the new Ratner.  But we are "crap".  I just think he doesn't care or care enough or else he would have fired AM months ago.

Exactly.
He is probably hoping we stay up and then hoping that AM will bring in his "own men" on the cheap to hopefully battle away like Stoke but hopefully with fewer resources. He's hoping for a miracle that is very unlikely to happen and clearly doesn't see what he's doing to our club. (Sorry - HIS club!).

Depressed and Lost in the West Midlands

Nigel Adkins anyone?

In his post match interviews he also describes a different game to the one I've watched and never takes any responsibility for the awful performances. It's my worst experience as a supporter, and that goes back 40 years.

But imagine what he can do with our better players then the shite he had to work with at Blues. He has Darren Bent here where he only had Cameron Jerome over there.
