Doug or Randy?

[Dave Clark Five]

Thats a very fair point, granted. However at times like this, fans want visibility of the people in power...they want reassurance and some hope that there is a plan in place.  For all his faults, old Doug had something to say...even if it didn't go down too well with many. Lerner's silence is deafening.

It doesn't need Randy to say it but it does need someone. I've said that from the start. In fact, going way back to the early Doug II days one thing we've lacked is a presidential figure who everyone can respect and believe in. 

Well Doug is President Emeritus so let him step forward.

Does anyone think that RL will be attending every single game, home and away, as he turns 90?

Will he bollocks.

Do you think there might be a reason for that? Like he has absolutely nothing else in his life?

So anyone who follows Villa has nothing else in their life?

This question should be renamed.....horse shit or cow shit?

I think you'll find I didn't.

Always Randy. Randy has made mistakes, but he's invested heavily financially.

That's what we wanted. It's the idiots below him that have messed up. Obviously he takes the blame for appointing the wrong people, but he'll learn from experience. I just hope he's still interested.

I must have misunderstood then, what did you mean?

He didn't at the Browns.

I meant that Doug goes to more or less every match because he has nothing else in his life. For all his wealth he's a very lonely man.

So Dougs a sad loner for going to every game?  I don't know Doug personally but does he not have a family or a life outside the Villa?

From every story I've heard, and what I've seen myself, you'd be amazed.

Do tell

[dave.woodhall]

It's mostly gossipy stuff with no definite proof but everyone says roughly the same so often that there must be something in it. I know I've seen him sitting on his own in a roomful of people, then his face lit up when someone he knew walked in because he had somebody to talk to.

[German James]

Lerner! Lerner hands down! For fuck's sake! Attending every game is not the most important criteria: not even fucking close! Abramovitch manages that! That doesn't mean I don't think that Lerner's cocking up in a major way, just that hankering after Ellis seems revisionist in the extreme!
