Tom Fox announced as new Villa CEO

Blimey, what happened here then? Mr West needs some anger management sessions it appears.

No need for insults. We can all have our opinions. I'm just saddened by the fact that wherever people stood on Lambert as things started to go wrong during his tenure, that we all now seem to be in the same spot.

Oh and old hawkeye ended up being quite a nice fella offline. We exchanged one or two emails about family and such before he disappeared

Honestly TV I can't believe you have managed to agitate someone as balanced and fair as mark west so much that he has been banned. I am not going to post for the next 60 seconds as a gesture of protest at this  unfairness to minorities. I mean what next.... Darren Woolley banned?

Off topic - but, I can't see anyone ever taking Gabby off our hands.

He won't leave, why would he? He's on £50k a week and that is what's wrong with football

Pay half his wages and one of the promoted sides would surely be interested.

Why would we do that?

[claret and blue blood]

I still believe that Gabby would be a much more useful player under a different manager.

I still believe that a lot of our players would be much more useful under a different manager.

Same here.
Either play him out wide or get a winger to whip in crosses to him, but don't just leave him up front with his back to goal for crying out loud. It's ridiculous.

I emailed Tom Fox at that address.. I think we need to do you something as we are more than just sleeping walking into relegation. Its like were in a coma.

Probably go straight into his spam box

You may as well have emailed Lerners cat. Didn't someone say on here that possibly one of the reasons for Faulkner leaving was because he wanted to give Lerner his cards? After our apalling end to last season, Lerner released a statement stating what a brilliant job he was doing under difficult circumstances.
Everybody slags off Mickey Quinn and the like but unfortunately the owner agrees wholeheartedly with them. That's the problem!

[Ger Regan]

If people are going to email fox, I do hope they have the sense to do it properly and not just send some long tirade peppered with a load of "shit", "mumbling twat" or the like. No easier way for correspondence to be completely ignored is if it's done in the style of the crazy man shouting on a street corner.

He's going to be getting a lot of spam

Spot on - the Aston Villa gravy train ain't stopping for a good while yet for him .

Captain - Leader - Legend .

I think just remind him of the stats, the awful football and home form , that you and all your friends are now refusing to go to games or buy villa merchandise and remind him of the likely cost of relegation not just in PL prize money but loss of sponsors , corporate boxes etc
He's a money man so he should crap himself .

I see there's an Open Letter to Mr Fox in the Evening Mail. I hope he finds the time to read it.

Time for this man to earn his corn. Giving Gabby a four year deal last summer probably beats the Lambert extension in terms of in its ineptitude. To quote Martin O'Neill when he joined, we are a disaffected (again).
It's going to take a phenomenal personality to come in and lift us.

The following players need to be marched out of the club by the summer at the latest - Lowton, Bennett, Vlaar, Cleverley, Gabby, Weimann, Gardner, Herd, Nzogbia, Cole, Richardson, Bent, Baker or Senderos (can't have two injury prone reserve centre halves). Most on the way out anyway but if we have to pay a club to take Gabby on loan so be it. He sums up the last 4 or 5 seasons. If Benteke needs to be sold to fund a new side so be it. He is no leader anyway but his goal return isnt good enough to cover the one in five outstanding performance. Kozak isn't mobile enough to be his replacement either.

We need at least one competent attacking full back. A box to box centre midfielder capable of scoring goals. Wide players and a centre forward. More importantly we need strong personalities and characters to give us hope again.

blimey, I'd better bring me boots along next year, we're gonna be a bit short on players

What exactly is Fox's raison d'être ?
