Randy Lerner

[Louzie0]

I don't want him to sell us - you can't force someone to buy us.

I want him, if he can't be fucked to do it himself other than a game every three months and the odd email, to appoint someone with a brain - a proper grown up who knows what they're doing - to run the club for him, because it's looking like a disaster right now.

First, the inexplicable McLeish appointment - where was the continuity in that? Then the obssession with us becoming like Ajax, where you just use youth products and the odd cheap foreign league player, and hey ho, everything works out.

Truly clueless.

OK who?
Just remembering Bradford saw off Arsenal last round.
Pep?
Rather stick with Lambert, he's got to buy somebody.

Get rid of Paul Faulkner and start again.

I'm not talking about the team manager, I am talking about every level of "management" above him.

[Macho Man Randy Savage]

Matching our wage bill to our revenues should see us slightly above mid-table, but this club has been so poorly managed in the last few years that our wage bill is being drained by players that aren't good enough. To keep hacking away at the wage bill in this state is leaving us with a squad that really isn't fit to compete in the Premier League.

It is pretty obvious that Lerner does not have a clue, so expecting a bloke that does not have a clue to all of a sudden appoint some one that has a clue is asking a bit much.

Any manager would take this job, a three year contract paying several times more than most fan can expect to earn and the pre requisite you played a bit a football and sat through some power point presentations.

We are fucjed

If I bought an NFL club the first thing I would do is appoint someone with NFL experience.Not somebody who's only job since leaving uni was as a relationship manager at a bank.

Spot on.

Difficult to see who Randy would appoint instead of PF. Last 3 managers he has appointed (since MON) have been very different from each other. I really think PL could still deliver, but tonight is a bit of a disappointment to put it mildly. However, the team/squad doesn't seem to have the requisite class or edge for sustained membership of the premier League, at the moment.
That's where the club really needs to have a secure presence.

I know that we are looking to have a roller-coaster ride this season, but unless Mr Faulkner can see some significant buys in the window for January (and I'm assuming Randy is in touch) then I would be reassessing PL's judgement of what is needed to survive, and PF's judgement in backing him.

Don't rollercoasters go up as well as down?

Which is truly frightening. So no surprise why we are in this mess

To be fair he could give Lambert £30 million, but if he spends it on kids who some clearly aren't good enough then we're doomed anyway. Lerner has fucked up massively, but it's not 100% his responsibility.

Lerner won't sanction PL wages. That's why we have to look to the lower leagues. Lerner is 100% responsible for our decline over the last 3 years. Until he pulls his finger out we're fucked.

What are you talking about?! Lerner has absolutely nothing to do with footballing decisions, the way the club is ran or who makes up the team. He writes the checks, and that's it. He entrusted this team to Paul Faulkner and he is a total jackass. Not a football man, has never run a club before and doesn't know good from bad, right from wrong. He's and MBNA business product that is lost in the sauce.

Get him the fuck out already.

Er, the obvious retort to that is that he employs Paul Faulkner, so clearly he does have something to do with the way the club is run.  He doesn't have to leave that absolute clown in charge, it's his club.

Try somebody who had been in football.Not somebody who worked at a bank.Mr Mainwaring worked at a bank and had ginger hair.We are Dad's Army in reverse.
We are Kids Army with an idiot in charge.
