Randy Lerner

[PaulWinch again]

Yes but the vast majority of the squad is on very low wages. Given the finance coming into the Premier League in the summer our wage bill cannot be that bad compared to anyone else's now.

What's strange is the Mike Ashley was a laughing stock and the poster boy of a bad owner initially at Newcastle. However he has shown he can learn from mistakes and now has a sensible strategy. Our owner is just a fucking moron.

Lets pretend I am a billionaire oil Sheik with a yearning to buy one of the most famous football clubs in the world. Would I buy now, at Premier League prices and risk us getting relegated anyway (which is probably inevitible whatever happens). Or would I wait until I could pick up a championship level bargain and restor us to glory?

Villa are toxic. No buyer is going to touch us with a platinum barge pole.

Ashley's as mental as ever.

Only a couple of months since he extended Pardew's contract by 8 years - eight years!! -  and Newcastle plummet down the table.

Has a clause if sacked ''only '' gets one year pay.

Sounds like a one year contract to me then. But with the added advantage that Newcastle can ward off poachers. Ashley is no mug

Michael Neville might still be interested ;-)

To be honest Leeg that just depresses me, as long as Lerner is in charge it appears there is no hope.

[Dave Clark Five]

They think he's here.
We think he's there.
Where the fuck is he and what is he doing?

[DB]

Hmm, any similarities...just a few!

[Legion]

He looks just like UKRedsox!

[Rip Van We Go Again]

They seek him here, they seek him there,
At Villa Park, it's very rare.
It will make or break him but he doesn't want the best,
He's a shit Chairman with no passion.
 
And when he jets to other towns,
And pisses off the Cleveland Browns,
Eagerly snoozing in his leather exec. chair,
He's a shit Chairman with no passion
 
Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is).
There's one thing that he loves and that's economy
One year we're in Premier, and soon division 3.
Cos' He's a shit Chairman with no passion
 
They seek him here, they seek him there,
At Bodymoor Heath? he won't be there.
Every single week we see our beloved club in shit
Cos' He's a shit Chairman with no passion
 
Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is).
His world is built on credit cards and temporary tattoo's.
We're not down the shitter yet, but he'll do his best
Cos' He's a shit Chairman with no passion
 
Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is).
He's got the attention span of a butterfly.
In footballing matters he is as fickle as can be,
Cos' He's a shit Chairman with no passion
Cos' He's a shit Chairman with no passion
Cos' He's a shit Chairman with no passion

What makes me angriest of all is that we only need a quick fix.   Nobody is asking for Lerner to take megastars on long contracts at astronomical wages.   What we need is five or six short term mercenaries.   Somebody at Villa Park has to pick up the phone and talk to some agents.  To them you put the simple question Do you have anybody available who would like to earn a million quid for a fourteen week contract, rising to one and a half million if you keep us up?  Nine million quid tops to save us thirty million.

That they are not prepared to pursue such a no brainer solution tells you all you need to know about Randy Lerner and indirectly about Paul Lambert.

Indeed it does, Brian. Indeed it does.
