This should cheer everyone up

That beggars belief.

No its wholly consistent with the way Lerner and Faulkner have acted throughout this. No matter what the facts are they continue in their blind faith to the detriment of all.

[MarkM]

After last night, Lerner et al should have called Mcwinless into his office and demanded an explanation!

He should have got a roasting not a bloddy pat on the back.

The performances this season have been shite [and thats giving them credit] there is more atmosphere on the moon then at VP at the moment and there is a huge chance that we will get relegated.

And if we do go down I am convinced that we will sit in the second division for quite a while, the board and manager have made us second division I hope they are proud

Yes, but given that pretty much everything he usually says after a match is the opposite of reality, perhaps the same is true here? Actually what Randy meant by 'Don't worry, everything will be ok.' was 'You won't have to worry about any stress very soon.'

[PaulWinch again]

I see Coyle has weighed in with his opinion of the 'abuse'. It's funny how everyone ignores how patient the fans have been given the absolute garbage we've been subjected to.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

What he's using the Proud history slogan.

Jesus, I'm afraid to say I got totally suckered in on that one.

Yep, try this for size:

I bet he's at the college gridiron games exhorting the students to get behind "the lads" as well.

I'm afraid The General has been shown up as a complete and utter snake oil salesman.
The man is an embarrasment.

[VillaAlways]

I spoke with Randy (Lerner) and Paul Faulkner (chief executive) after the game and they were supportive and said to keep your head up.

 
"They said everyone has to stay together and battle through this fight.

"We are in a relegation fight but we have got to rally the troops for the next game.
 

They really have not got the first clue in what they are doing and what is at stake here have they ? It's very worrying that our club is in the hands of these amateurs.

[Rick_avfc]

They are all bad as each other!  These clowns are going to take us down.
I wonder what will happen to the Macron deal if we get relegated?

[Phil from the upper holte]

What's Coyle said? he can fuck off as well, I wish K Mac had chinned him

[Rip Van We Go Again]

"We are in a relegation fight but we have got to rally the troops for the next game.''

Sound like the typical runny verbal diarrhea The General used to inflict on us.

[PaulWinch again]

He basically said 'why can't people express themselves without being poisonous'.

[Phil from the upper holte]

He's been rallying the troops since August, he couldn't motivate a suicidal man to jump off a cliff

[NeilH]

What truly worries me about all of this, is how will Lerner run the show if we end up getting relegated. He’s already non-existent and happy to impose strict financial regulations on the team that at best prevent us progressing and at worst have severely endangered our top flight status.  If we are relegated, it will be like a fire sale at Villa and Lerner will certainly have no interest in trying to re-build the mess.

I’m genuinely in fear for future of the club right now, as I get not one single vibe that were we to go down we’ll be able to recover in the way that Newcastle and West Ham have. I sense a sustained period in the Championship whilst our owner does all he can to extradite himself from the situation and leave us ticking over with the bare minimum of cost to himself.

[PaulWinch again]

Blah Blah 'we've got to rally the troops', blah blah 'it's in our own hands'. All these bullshit cliches keep getting wheeled out, it's too late you've had your chance fuck off.

[villainjock]

the only way to hit faulkner is in the pocket,he only knows moneỵ̣! contact Genting and harass them!!!̣ if they wont listen to us then they might listen to them

[clash city rocker]

Do you think that at any stage this season Lerner has contemplated relegation let alone planned for it should it happen ?
