He drove our last great manager out of the club and replaced him with a succession of mediocrities and no-marks. If you want Villa to be anything like what we were, then it is Lerner who should be bundled out of the doorThe problem is you can not bundle owners out of the door.The first prerequisite for Lerner going is that someone has to be prepared to pay the going rate for the club. You can't change owners like managers, so we are stuck with him.I don't agree with your suggestion that MON was a great manager for a nanosecond, but I do agree that Lerner's policy is the fundamental problem. This young and hungry thing is really bullshit, it's basically a "plan" they've hatched which conveniently tallies with being cheap. Pay low fees and wages for lower league players and you get a squad full of lower league players.This is the worst Villa team and squad I can remember in decades and it is fundamentally traceable to the conceit that we can compete without buying good players - proven wrong every single season by other teams - and that if you just wait long enough, young players mature into really good ones.They made that jump from big money players to cheap guff in one go. They're lucky we didn't go down last year or the year before. They'll probably be lucky again this season, but if this continues another year, we're going to go.Bloody hell I've been saying this for the last 4 years!So give yourself yet another gold star.You're far from the only person who has pointed out that we've assembled a squad full of mediocre guff.

Plus the fact I suspect he has lost the dressing room.

Ground hog day. Shit performance number 25 of the season for us.How many people predicted 1-0 Palace? A fair few i'd guess because forget this inconsistent malarkey, we aren't, we are consistently shit.Lambert out. Again. He should have gone last January.
The amount of discussions and arguments I've had with you over the same period and you've just gone and said the exact same thing I've been saying until I was blue in the face. And by the way I don't want a bloody gold star or any kind of god damn reward, I just want a decent bloody Villa team. Stop taking things personally.
