I think its a bit of a Brummie thing that pomposity must be mocked and showing off deserves a clip round the ear.

Is there a Fearphone?

Yep

All that letter from Jonathan Fear says to me was 'I know Randy Lerner'. It was just a load of self indulgent waffle.

The sad thing about this thread is that, no matter how bad things get, whenever some Villa fans try to do something to arrest our slide - however futile - other Villa fans will always mock them. I don't know whether that's just a Villa thing or whether it happens at other clubs too, but we always turn on our own at times like this. I've never known unity among Villa fans.

I've never met Jon Fear, and I couldn't care less if he's got a messiah complex or not. I don't care about his letter being too long, boring, self-important and full of mistakes. At least he's doing something. I thought the 8-minute protest was ill-conceived, but at least they tried something. And I'd rather see that than a load of other fans standing on the sidelines doing nothing but taking the piss while the club we all support spirals out of control.

The club is in denial. The local press are too meek to get involved. The national press don't give a shit. So it's down to the fans to act. Let's cut the ones that do act a bit of slack.

Well said. It winds me up when people at least try to do something and then get mocked by others who don't do anything. It may not work but at least they're trying.

Was talking to my former boss, who is not a Villa supporter but takes his children to games said it 'looks as though they want the club to fail'.

I have no idea if this is true but somebody told me that the land at Bodymoor Heath would be worth more than the club if sold to developers.
He thought Randy might sell the land and shut down the club.

Turning it into the worlds largest pub beer garden for The Dog and Doublet. No football team to follow but thousands of us could congregate getting thoroughly pissed 24/7 talking about the good old days.

I won't be getting pissed at the Dog & Doublet any time soon - he charges a feckin' fortune for a pint in there!

I'm glad somebody brought this up. I can definitely see it happening. 100%.

Jonathon Fear has a massive ego and his letter does go on to long. Its the sort of trap Counsel fall into with their sekelton's, but anyway, if Lerner does read it then it won't do any harm.

We need to build pressure, so I, as others have suggested, these e-mail should be printed and posted to B6. Poor Nicola Key will probably get a hundred paper cuts, but we have to do something, even if it does look a forlorn hope.

The Forlorn Hope breached the walls, more often than not.

I just saw I've got my 10,000th post coming up and I've used kippaxvilla2's stats from the thread "Worst Evers Under Paul Lambert" to write an emotionally charged email. Which is handy.

The pen is mightier than the sword.

So, do we stab him with a biro?

You might want to remind this person that we play our home games at Villa Park not at Bodymoor Heath!

I do like in the Fear letter when he says 'Randy, I'll stop there' then goes on to write another seven paragraphs.

I went down the more threatening route and let Fox know that I know where he lives.

I like the idea of a letter campaign. Even if people can't be arsed to write one, maybe we could draw up a template letter detailing Lambert's many failures as reasons for his removal. All people would need to do is print it, sign it and send it - but not just to the club. Send a copy to the Mail, or even pick a national paper and deluge them with letters. It would be a civilised and organised act of protest, and nobody could accuse us of not supporting the team.

If only a few internet saddoes did it, then it'd go unnoticed by the public at large, saving the fans some embarrassment. But if a lot of Villa fans did it, then the recipients would have to at least acknowledge that large numbers of fans are sufficiently pissed off to register their dissatisfaction in a coherent way.

I wrote an email last night, i don't know what good it will do. But it's better than nothing, I guess.
