Randy Lerner

[Zakk Fatt]

100% right Mr Woo, the frustration is that the only way forward appears to be relegation which seems so unappealing.

The piece of the equation I cannot work out is why Lerner has allowed the same man to remain as Chief Executive through the whole period of his money being pissed up the wall by non stop bungling.

Good point. Very good point.

Because he loves him like a son.

[pauliewalnuts]

Rather than use people qualified to do the job, he's chosen people he knows.

Hence Faulkner (call centre manager for a credit card company) and Krulak (surrogate father).

Lerner must be pig thick if he cant see that unless we buy in the window we are going down.
Message to Lerner: shit, or get off the pot.

I've seen that phrase used before. What does it mean?

He's saying he needs to make more money available or sell the club.

I guessed as much. First, is there anyone who has a spare half a billion pounds and fancies buying a football club? Second, isn't the fools paradise of relying on an owner to bail you out every season what got us into this mess?

True. What would you think needs to be done, if anything?

Randy has to take most of the blame for being in this mess.What was the point in buying us if he didn't know what to do with it once he got it.

In the short term we need a couple of players, and that doesn't need a massive injection from the owner. Longer term we need to get back to whatever it was that was driving the club forward during the first three years of Randy's time, when anything seemed possible. Wider, we and every other club have to stop living beyond our natural means.

[Des Little]

Well we are in deep shit. If we do go down it will cost us anything up to £60 million. Lerner knows the risks.

If Lerner purchased Villa to make money he his even more stupid than I thought.
