A person who believed all he had to do was wave his cheque book around to get what he wanted.Shocking business sense and should have sold 4 years ago when MON left as his heart has not been in it since then. I am sure he is a very personable man but I find it difficult to feel a lot of sympathy for the money he has wasted whilst playing at running a football club. His decisions wasted his money and has left the rest of us with a club which if not bought quickly could slide down a very slippery slope.He is certainly proving the saying a fool and his money etc.I may be being a little harsh on him but it annoys me when something that has meant so much to me for 50 odd years can be used and tossed aside as a rich persons plaything.

Jinx!!
...he precipitated MON's departure...
Did everything brilliantly...Acorns, Ground, pub, BMH, hospitality, everything...except the bit that really counts.
Oh fuck Moscow again...I really dread to think how some will react when we get back into the Europa and the manager starts rotating the squad. The club will need to have a stash of Big John's vouchers on hand at all times to appease the masses.

Did a good job with the Holte pub. But, ultimately, he should have sold-up in 2010. Has left a second-rate squad behind.

Doing anything to the ground in terms of capacity would have been a further waste of money.

Doing anything to the ground in terms of capacity would have been a further waste of money.So 8 years to fill in / refurbish a few areas under the stands? I hardly call that progressing the stadium. Deadly Doug did far more in terms of the upgrade of the stadium. It's been so long since Lerner attended a game (December 2012) he's probably forgotten what Villa Park looks like! In the end a failure on the pitch where it only really counts - fair play on the things he did/ supported off the field.
Who is responsible for the financial mess we are in? I know he wrote of some of the debt, but the reality is he will be leaving us in a mess.
