Badly run clubs eventually get relegated

[hilts_coolerking]

My boss had half a notion of buying Rangers last year, might see if he fancies a cheeky offer to Lerner.  £1 should swing it.

Let's face it, brightly coloured beads would probably swing it.

Not long sold my last business and in fourteen years the longest holiday i took was ten days, and i had brilliant staff. Nobody runs a business better than the owner but to run it you have to be on site watching who goes where and who does what. Once Lerner decided to go part time and work by email and conference the game was up. We will only recover when he has gone.

yep.  If your company was facing a financial black hole in 5 months time, you'd be sleeping in the office trying to sort it out. Lerner's just carrying on as before because frankly he's not that bothered.

Who is actually running this circus on a day to day basis? The Ginger Prince?  And I don't mean Harry.

But..he's got a tattoo.

I just hope a new broom soon sweeps clean. We played Fulham a couple of years ago early in the season. Fayed walked across the pitch and waved and clapped the fans. He did this to all parts of the ground and they appreciated it. just a gesture but better than we get.
We have someone who very few know anything about. He lurks in the background occasionally, sells managers down the river and must be very embarrassed at games when the opponents officials flock around Doug Ellis, not even knowing who Lerner is.
It would be no worse if David Sullivan put himself in here as a poisonous curse.

I blame Faulkner more than Randy.

Why? What is Paul's remit? The buck stops with Lerner as far as I am concerned.

Faulkner is the CEO. He is overseeing a business which is failing big time. Lerner is the ultimate power who appointed Faulkner. Both of them have got a lot to answer for.

Why didn't we keep McAllister in charge after Houllier left - McAllister guided us to that end to the season with wins at Arse and home to Liverpool - I reckon he would have done a decent job.  There are several key moments as to where the shitness was accelerated - firstly MON timing, then Houllier getting ill, then letting McAllister go in favour of McLeish - McLeish ffs. MCLEISH!

Actually while I am thinking about it - why can't we go and get McAllister back.

I suspect it's mainly Lerner.

[Risso]

So do I.  He's the money man, with the power to make decisions. If Faulkner is so inept, it's Lerner's fault he's still in a job.  Same thing with Lambert.

Back in March PF was saying the reserves would be used this season.I would doubt Randy knows what any of them look like.

[kippaxvilla2]

His biggest weakness is the fact that he says the square root of fcuk all from one end of the year to next.  How about telling us what the strategy of the club is - is it simply lower wages and sod the consequences.  If this was Doug in charge, it wouldn't be this bad because he would fire the trigger on Lambert now, but likewise we would all be calling for him to go like we so often did so Randy isn't immune to criticism.

[Dave Clark Five]

When I questioned what PFs remit was, I intended to explore whether the Manager makes all footballing decisions. What footballing decisions do we think PF makes, apart from being the fall guy in respect of managerial appointments and sackings? Lerner tells us nothing. They could have all manner of people advising them.

Because McAllister's record at every club is very poor and was not liked for his coaching and man management by the players,eg Dunne,Collins and Agbonlahor,the latter being very difficult to upset but McAllister managed to.
