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"?

Surely not - it's back him with money now or sack him now !
No point doing it in a week or 2 weeks as the transfer window is running down, they need to do something now.
Either give him the money or give someone else the money - whoever is manager stands no chance without cash to spend.

Is the Invisible man even in England at the moment? If he is has he watched us or just been shopping at Harrods? Has the man spoken to anyone in the last 8 months or are the rumours of him having his tongue amputated true?

The sooner this fucker stops running the club by email the better, if he had any heart he'd do the right thing and leave and get that stupid tattoo removed or covered over with the word TWAT.

Sick of the silence at least with Doug you'd have his daily lies in the Evening Mail to round on when we we're struggling and promises of signing Klinsmann and Keane.

What happened to the pots of cash he was supposed to be spending on the Villa as a result of selling the Browns?

Remember that time the evening mail front page linked us with beckenbauer as manager in 1990?

Didn't he have a really expensive divorce?
Maybe the former Mrs. Lerner would like to buy us ?

Lerner and his EX wife, as a consortium, it's the dream ticket. She's obviously the one with the brains as she's cleaned him out. I wonder why they got divorced? He was probably the man of her dreams for 3 years, then gradually got bored of having to buy her things twice a year, Christmas and Birthdays and gradually became more of a recluse, locking himself away in the basement not talking to her months on end apart from the yearly crisis meeting in the kitchen deciding if to sack her off or buy her one last diamond necklace.

Faulkner was quick enough to come out and tell us that selling the Browns wouldnt make any difference to us. The only time they ever communicate with us is to dampen down any expectations we might have. There doing it about transfers now. What a total and utter ambitionless club we are

I reckon we'll get relegated, and Randy will do a radio interview to address the fans.

Except we're so used to never having heard him speak, it'll be like at the end of the second world war when Emperor Hirohito addressed the Japanese people, and most of them refused to believe it was him, as they'd never heard him speak before.

Mr Lerner,

You said at the start of your chairmanship that the key to turning the club into a successful franchise was a winning team on the pitch. 'Your' club is therefore now akin to Lehman Brothers.

Does this mean that you have given up on Aston Villa??? If so, please sell quickly, we can field a proud, decent team without your money. We've done it before.

If I've jumped the gun, I'm sorry, but its hard knowing what direction we are going in when the chairman is a mute.

He is letting us down badly at the moment, he has less than a week to start rectifying that. It's as simple as that.

I'm positive he will, but it will be to protect his investment not enhance it.
