That's pretty much as I see it, and I won't be there to see it.
If you get my drift.

I've lost my season ticket so I phoned about a replacement today

'That'll cost you £10'

'What? For the sake of 4 remaining matches'

'Well you'll need it for renewal next season'

'You're kidding, i'm not renewing.'

'Well that's your choice'

Top drawer stuff!

McLeish was appointed on the basis that his teams are hard to beat. My guess is Lerner thought he'd get a solid if unspectacular manager to steady the ship while he tightened the finances, then in a couple of years he could appoint a better manager once all is well at the club.

Pretty much how I viewed the appointment at the time.

A ship-steadier who would work within the restrictions passed down.

I've gone for option 3 but only because there isn't a 4th option - he would go if we get relegated. He might even walk! Surely Lerner/Faulkner would have a get out of jail clause in his contract that meant staying in post was dependent on staying in the PL?

Can't see him walking and losing the chance of a juicy pay off.

Some time next season. By which time, it will be too little, too late.

Can't they just disable the ST and send you paper ones for the remaining games ?

I think that Eck may get the push at the end of the season regardless of whether Villa are relegated.

Apparently not, you have to fill out a lost/stolen form AND cough up £10.

Theres more chance of them putting a relegation pay rise in the contract than a relegation release clause.

You'll need a lost property number from the police for that.  It happened to me a few years ago and they sent me paper tickets until I could get it sorted - maybe you could just blag it for a few weeks?

That's what i'll do John.
I'll have to go the ticket office prior to each of the remaining 4 games.

He won't be going anywhere, even if we do get relegated.

Sadly I think Paulie is right, he isn’t going anywhere even if we go down.

What a sickening thought!



well as much as you guys have convinced yourselves that he's staying no matter what, i am convinced that there is no way Randy can keep him in the job with things going as they are.

it just doesnt make sense for him to start next season, from every possible angle whether it be fianancial, style of play, entertainment, general moral of the club etc.
i know Randy made the mistake in the first place, but i cant believe he would be so stupid as to keep plodding on with him.

i cant make my mind up whether to vote for A or B but surely as eggs are eggs it wont be C surely.

if he was sacked today i would not be in the least supprised, yet some of you guys would be gobsmacked, i will be the same if he starts next season, there is just no point, the outcome is inevitable already, just do the deed Randy and lets try and get back on track

You're better off ringing up a week before each home game and say that you cant make it and could you have a paper ticket.  ITS FREE!  No point in forking out £10 for a new season ticket unless you are going to renew?
