I met an American once and had a conversation with him. He was an absolute twat!

I could get insidious but I have seen what happens elsewhere so I better keep my theories to myself. Blackpool and all that!Of course he's here for his own gain. It's work.But at whos expense? Aston Villa as a whole or just me,you and thousands of others?I don't understand what you're driving at here. He goes to work, he gets paid.

I think he is up to no good in the position he has been afforded,read into that what you will.
If you were completely inept at what you were paid to do, would you walk?
As far as Fox is concerned his measure of his success and therefore his bonus and remuneration has little or nothing to do with football results and everything to do with balance sheets, income, turnover and revenue. Therefore he's probably quite right in thinking he's doing OK.
Well done Tom. 18 months into your job and look what you have nearly achieved.

No. Would you if you were on the sort of money he's on and you thought you were doing a good job?I don't know what he is earning, six figures I imagine, but pride is a very powerful emotion(and a sin) and I don't think I could live with being useless at what I do, when it is so important to so many people, duty of care and all that!Aston Villa is a very important part of a lot of our lives

They are not all like Trump - quite a few are - but most are very nice people.Sadly too many of them think it is a good idea for everybody to have a gun if they want one. Sadly this lack of civilsation is responsible for a lot of mistakes - and it creates people like Lerner who does not know when he is not wanted any more.
