It actually got better when mcallister took over
If he did go, would the next owner get the same abuse after one bad season?
I dont want an absentee owner and I dont want Aston Villa owned by one individual - we have never had this before.I feel more alienated and detached from my club than with the old duffers running the show up to 1968. At least they had some connection with the club and were to some extent visible, they even issued statements about the club on occasion. They may have been the misguided spoutings of old men stuck 30 years in the past but at least they said something !I guess its unrealistic to hope we could ever go back to be a club with shareholders, but at least lets have someone who is here and says something !LERNER OUT.
Some people amaze me - they're entitled to their opinion but whatever happens they can't find it within themselves to criticise the club, it's owner, CE or manager. It's almost worth getting relegated to see what they would say then.

Yes, that's all it is, a mere blip, and next season everything will no doubt be hunkydory. We've sold our best players, we've got an embarrassment for a manager, and the finances are beyond appalling. But yes, people are just upset because "it's one bad season". Christ.

Not two, or three. One.

It's about this one looking like our worst since Sky invented football, plus a whole slew of other statistics which point to just how poor we are.I don't get it. He spent lots of money for four years, then when the must-control-everything manager walked out and shat on us, he conspired to manage things so poorly that the level of hopelessness right now equals that in the last summer of Doug (and no two ways about it, it does), and the manager who walked out looks vindicated.There's also a lingering bad taste from four years of solid marketing exercises and dialogue with fans, telling us how important it was to hear what we had to say, which disappeared overnight when things started to go a bit pear shaped. It's really hard not to be cynical when you look at that course of events.
