To make it work it would have to be resolute and thorough, it would have to be at an Home game obviously, I would suggest the Sunderland game with the significance of MON being there, it makes for a very clear message to the present manager whilst he
sits in front of the previous manager

Is Houllier going to be there?

Any creativity or skill Makoun had, would have been wrung out of him by Mcpieceofshit.

I think Makoun has had a lucky escape.

He'd only been subbed for Emile week in week out. When McCleish made that snap decision to let him go,i knew we were fucked.

No.

And that is the saddest thing.

All depends what Randy thinks. I think so, you think so and probably the majority of people in football do, but it's all up to Randy.

Hold me, i'm scared.

A previous manager then, imagine a home game at Villa park with nothing but empty seats, I'll bet Randy Lerner would be on the next plane over.

But as Lerner has proved to be a vacant, sit on his hands cretin, I don't expect to see any action any time soon.

Makes a change from Lerner Out. Doug out is so last year (or thereabouts).

Do you think he's given up? He's conspicuous by his absence at the very least.

Seems to have totally lost interest.
Like it or not, a Premiership club needs continual investment.
An expensive ongoing business, but he should have realised that when he took over the club.
You can't just have a couple of years of austerity or you go backwards at a rate of knots.

Randy's going to have to move a bit sharpish after the Norwich game if he wants to prove to the players and fans that this is not what the club is about.

White hanky's at the games?  Othe than that, non-stop chanting.  Some of the players deserve the stick too.  The fans have eased up on McLeish because he's playing kids, it's not their fault but, unless we get McLeish out, he'll ruin the kids too.
White hankies or flags sounds a good idea. The impact in the media should get home. Just need to make sure everyone understands it is aimed at McFuckwit and not the young kids.

Blue hankies will look better, the empty seats will make it look like more of them are being waved.
