Lerner out! I don't care who replaces him.
Be careful what you wish for there are plenty out there like the Blackburn or Blues owners
It's frustration. I want to see some money spent on this team and, as each day goes by, we see nothing. Why can't Lerner speak up ? We want to see some leadership and we are seeing fuck all.

And this is the problem, we have no guidance and no idea where he wants to take us. At the moment he doesn't seem the slightest bit arsed

Yes, but just look at the sort of people being linked with Small Heath.
Or do you fancy a bit of Venky's?
Things are bad now, but believe me, they could be a whole lot worse.
They could be a whole lot better too.

If you put all the current owners in a line, with Venky's on the left side, and say Sheikh Mansour at the other, I'd have Lerner a gnat's cock to the right of Venky's, but only just.

Is what Sheikh Mansour has done at Man City that much different than what Lerner did with us?  The only difference I can see is the scale of the spending, which in turn has brought them trophies.  He's still just thrown loads of money at them on a gamble to get in with the big boys.  Their wages and annual losses are massively worse than we've ever had.

I don't think you can criticise Lerner whilst at the same time say Sheikh Mansour is the best Chairman there is.

Absolute nonsense.  Mansour can spend what he likes because he has a bottomless pit of money.  Lerner hasn't, and didn't realise that if you gave people £65K a year for four years, they'd still be expecting to be paid that amount four years later.   Then there are all the other fucks ups like the appointment of McLeish, the pathetic stuff about the letter from Ferguson and so on.

We are crying out for someone with footballing nous to come in and sort things out off the field and yet nothing is being done, which leads me to believe that Faulkner and Lerner are either too proud to ask for help, or too damn ignorant.
In either case, if they don't stop dithering like shitting dogs and sort this mess out, we are done for.

Can I write the letter please?

Dear Randy,

Shit, or get off the pot.

Villa fans

I prefer the more succinct:

Lerner

Fuck off

End.

Might I suggest a minor adjustment that will appeal more to Randy.

Dear Mr Lerner,

Fuck off.

Hugs and kisses,

Sir Alex.

P.S. How about you put this in your safe deposit box, you stupid bastard.

He's treated us the same as he treated the Browns. Hopefully his next action with us will be the same as his final action for them. And the sooner the better

Please Randy for the sake of Aston Villa, which will be here after you have gone just like it was before you came, either give us your full support and that does mean money, get some one within the organisation that knows a football is round not oval and more importantly knows about AVFC's position in the football ( dont you dare call it soccer) life that is England's top division, some wankers call it the Premier League, but we know it as the top division as we have been here for most of our existence and before that becomes a distanced memory either cough up or FUCK OFF.

Between now and the rest of the season we need to fill Villa Park and get behind these kids or else we could go down.
I think the supporters have been very tolerant so far. Regarding relegation, I think we are doomed.

Sixteen games to play yet.  We can't allow ourselves to throw in the towel.

How much would it cost to get a full page ad in The Mail telling Randy directly enough is enough? 
Pretty pointless, I doubt he can read.

For fans of graphic novels, he reminds me of the VP in 'The Boys' series.

The total absence of football men on the board will be the main reason that we'll succumb this season. They simply haven't a clue how to implement a plan to take the club forward. In short, they've let us down.

Where is the ******? Probably sipping champagne, obviously doesn't care about the sky increase, he'll only pocket it anyway. He's probably thinking ha and they didn't want Mcleish. I'm the greatest or something like that

I have a horrible feeling that the latest Boardroom farce will be for them to sack Lambert with about 3 days to go before the end of the window, thus almost ensuring that we can't get a new manager and players in in time.

To echo the words of the wise one "Would you bet against them"?
