Kendrick Says It's Time To Ask Questions

[saunders_heroes]

Oh goody. I see the Daily mail and the telegraph sports Journos are up Hodgsons arse for his article so it will make the papers and Lambert will be pelted with it in his presser.

I am sure that will help Lambert and the team focus as they train for Sunday.

Jesus.

Good. It's about time Villa fans actually stood up and said a few choice things about how the way the club is being run.

[saunders_heroes]

That he says we never had 4 bad seasons in a row under Ellis makes me think he is a prat.

Go on then, tell us when was the last time Villa had 4 consecutive relegation battles.

[saunders_heroes]

It could be taken a bit more seriously if he hadn't just had a falling out with the board.

He was saying this stuff way before they booted him out of the directors.

And he wonders why they did?

Well at least he had the balls to say it.

The bottom line is something I found out a long time ago; the only thing that matters to the vast majority of supporters is how the team is doing. Randy could live on Mars if we were in the top half of the table. None of this week's outpouring of rage would have happened if it was us who'd scored in stoppage time on Sunday.

Yes but it is in a time of crisis that you want to feel reassured by the owner's presence and leadership.

"The Hodgson Report"

What a self important twat.

Whilst the 2003 Hodgson Report was a pile of shit, his comments above are more or less spot-on. Very hard to argue with the majority of the article.

First thing that shocked me was why Randy would share with Lambert Hodgson's letter. It seems the monkey controls the organ grinder.

Tail wagging the dog, sort of thing. I also found that strange. Lambert must be equally seething seeing the slating he is getting everywhere. I reckon Culverhouse will be having words with the crowd again soon as he is bound to get some stick.

Also possibly explains Lambert's comments about "criticism" from some quarters and Lerner's rush to reward him with a new extended contract. It's like MON all over again except this time, Lerner wants his manager close to him. Lambert and Lerner appear to be sleeping in the same bed.

A lot of people are saying a lot of things. It doesn't mean that they are right or that their opinions deserve to go unchallenged.

Don't bite the hand that feeds, I guess.  Although I have no idea what kind of feed you get in the Director's Box.

What's his excuse for abysmal performances when Hodgson doesn't do a report?

I don't entirely agree. You want someone's reassurance, not necessarily the owner. It goes back to a debate we had on here a few months ago - the club needs a figurehead (not a president or the mythical 'football man') who is respected by supporters and the general football public, who can offer such reassurance that things are either moving in the right direction or being dealt with.

I have a sneaking suspicion that When Randy sells up he will have made a very tidy amount of money out of us...




A sneaking suspicion Fergal ?

Of course he will make a very tidy amount of money.

How much did he lose when he sold the Cleveland Browns ?

Credit to Lerner for giving it a go with his first Manager, Acorns, the Holte pub and the training facilities.

Of course he will make a very tidy amount of money.

Without wishing to incur the wrath of Davw Woodhall for talking about finances (tongue firmly in cheek) how will Randy end up in profit from project Villa?

He's said his piece and he's entitled to do so and he's been thrown out of the Directors because of it. Good luck luck to him, I agree with everything he's said, and it's good to see prominent Villa fans actually standing up and protesting at the way Villa have gone into decline over the last 4 years. I don't see much of that from you, Dave, and you're the editor of the only independent Villa fanzine. In fact i often see you jumping to Lerner's defence on here. Why is that?

He paid to sit in there. He was hardly a club employee.

Because it's what I think, maybe? Do you expect me to change my opinion because it's fashionable or might get a few likes on Facebook?

Any suggestions, Dave?

I doubt if he's doing it to get a few Facebook likes. He sounds like a passionate long time Villa fan, just like every other Villa fan I guess. Perhaps he's just fed up with the way Lerner and co are running the club?
The club has been in decline for 4 years now and doesn't seem to be any sign of it getting any better. What's your view on it?
