For god sake randy please go and take your clowns with you!Randy has been very good for this club so calling for his head after all the money he's put in is a shortsighted.He's made an absolute howler in appointing McLeish and that's something he's going to have to rectify. He's not the first chairman to get a managerial appointment wrong. Short-sighted is thinking that blowing a load of money makes a good chairman. That money has all been wasted and has set us back years. Lerner has been a disaster.Agreed risso, lerner had good intentions and made a promising start but his last 2 years at the helm have been shambolic in the extreme- he should be judged on the present not the past.

Something has to change and Lerner has to get a grip on the situation, but calling for him to go given what he has tried to achieve here is just ungrateful sour grapes.It's not ungrateful, we didn't ask for him to buy us, and didn't have any choice. He's made a right mess of everything, and so we don't have to tug our forelocks in his direction. Most of us were like kids in a candy shop when he took over the reins from Doug (me included). In fact I dont recall any voices of concern on here when Randy came into town. Hell the Holte End even chanted his name, like a hero.He has royally f**ked up and he has to put it right. In fact I remember posting on here a couple of weeks ago that the venom directed at McLeish detracts from the mess Lerner has made of late. He has to put it right and we should enable him to do so. Like most on here I agree that it starts by being a man and accepting that McLeish was a terrible decision. However, Lerner has invested heavily in the club and improved many things that were sorely lacking under Doug Bodymoor and the treatment of the class of 82 come to mind for one. Let him fix this, because if he decides to jack it in due our own stroppy and sometime personal reaction to an appalling season, well be royally up shit creek without a paddle.

From oddschecker's daily email:Aston Villa gifted Man United three crucial title race points with an inept performance yesterday - even given Young's continuation of the Tom Daly impersonation show. The Villains have now won just one of their last twelve - Birmingham managed just two wins from their final thirteen last year. Sunderland, Spurs, WBA and Norwich all look good to beat the beleaguered side which leaves only Bolton to mop up next week at Villa Park where the hosts boast just one victory from the last ten. Given McLeish's relegation record it looks worth taking the 18/1 on offer now before a further plunge into obscurity.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Don't know what to say to that!

I think its very easy to disagree with.The Albion have shit home form and a massive inferiority complex when it comes to us. We could easily win that.Sunderland are dour and predictable, with one eye already on the beach, we could easily beat them.Norwich did well to only be smashed six. We could easily win that.Tottenham have collapsed quicker than an English middle order and will have nothing to play for, so we could easily win that.Bolton are shite and we can easily win that.See. Its very easy and I'm not even trying to make a fool part from his money.
