Doug or Randy?

[Toronto Villa]

1,000 times Randy over Doug. I am disappointed with results under Randy but I wouldn't go back to Egoman.

So far the best times under Doug are a mile ahead of the best times under Lerner.  Now I think the worst times under Lerner are about to meet and overtake those of Ellis.

off course it is

[not3bad]

Lerner. Though I'd might have been inclined to vote neither, had there been such an option.

That's about the way I'm feeling.  However I hope I may feel a bit more positive at the end of January.

Like I said, we're on that slippery slope.  This side isn't good enough for the Championship, let alone the Premier League.

Let's wait until we actually get there before using 'what ifs' as facts shall we?

Think positively Rissbert - you can stay over at my place when we take on Southport in a couple of years time

He'll probably just want a raw turnip for dinner and to kip in your garden. He likes to be miserable, does Risso.

My mummy warned me about talking to people like you on the internet!

To be honest i know the current situation we're in, but i find it hard to understand the attitude of many supporters to Lerner. Yes he is the owner and man at the top and so ultimately has to take the blame, but he has put a lot of money in to our club, and not only that, values and respects the history of the club.

To my mind he has made 1 critical mistake in his time here, which is probably responsible for all of the other mistakes (MoN's spending, hiring McLeish etc) and that was appointing Paul Faulkner as CEO. At the end of the day it is the CEO of a company (in this case our club) that has to take ultimate responsibility for it's results, if the company fails under his stewardship then he has to go. Faulkner has failed on so many counts it seems unbelievable that he is still here, the main thing he failed in was not getting good footballing people in to help him run the club and provide the footballing nous we have so obviously missed in the boardroom.

Also whilst we have consistently backed our managers with funds for players, as has been pointed out elsewhere, because of a lack of consistency at the club, or underlying football philosophy, we have had managers of differing styles, each picking up players to suit their styles. So now we find ourselves with one of the highest spends on players in the premiership, yet with a pretty poor and non functioning squad.

To my mind then Faulkner should be the one that shoulders most of the blame, yet we hardly ever here a mention of him on here.

Slight change of subject, 1975 to 1982 were (mostly) glorious years, yet we had buffoons in charge then.
Bendall was absolutely hopeless, but what times the club had then.

Randy everytime for me

I heard that rumour.

Most directors are/were fucking useless. Just on occaision they'd stumble upon a genius manager to make them look good.

It's no different now. Why would flogging scrap metal, or being a travel agent, or a shameless, convicted earner of ill-gotten gains or even a chicken farmer give you any insight into how to run a sports club?
