We need the gross figures really for just money spent.

Not really because the argument is always that Lerner has tightenedf the purse strings to the point where's it's suffocated the managers attempts to get us out of trouble but that shows nearly 50m over 3 years has been invested into the squad which is a decent level of investment from someone who has 'clearly lost all interest and is just operating us on a shoestring', that's why I find the funds argument so annoying.  What he got wrong was that he spread the money too thin in the 2nd summer. We could see what we needed, a central defender, a midfielder to offer something in attack and upgraded fullbacks, that's 4 players.  We spent £18.5m that summer according to that site on 7 players, so instead of averaging £4-5m per signing we averaged £2-3m.  4 of those players have spent this season out on loan because they're not good enough and only 1 has been a regular.  That's just wasted money.

They are probably reading them and chuckling between themselves. We all know how much fun Randy is having...

Why would they bother, honestly? Sending a grovelling email reply isn't going to really make any difference whether people buy tickets to the next match or a season ticket next season. I get that it's about registering your displeasure, but isn't that best done by booing after the end of the match after another loss? Despite what some might say, we're not customers, we're supporters.

Whether Fox knows it or not or understands it or not he, Lambert and Lerner have passed a tipping point. I consider my sons and I to be pretty typical diehard Villa supporters. We have begun to stay away from games despite being season ticket holders. We will be at Dulwich Hamlet this afternoon. The choice is starkly simple, he stays we go.

I honestly believe they are not interested in the fans views in any way whatsoever. The same applies to most other clubs. We are not even a minor irritant. Which makes me surprised that Mr Fox has agreed to attend the AVST meeting at the end of this month. He has probably been ordered to do so by the club owner. When Steve Morgan decided to 'interact' with the fans at the Molineux he came very close to being attacked a couple of years ago, so to a point I don't blame them.

Mr Fox may or may not have read a selection of sent mails but the only answer he can give if he replies is something like "We are totally committed to achieving success for this great club blah blah"  What he is not going to do is suggest they may replace the manager.

Nothing will change I'm afraid. Unless the club owner starts to panic that is and it appears he is not that type of person.

The club will never be too concerned about a fractured, squabbling, apathetic fan base. A united and determined fan base would be something entirely different.

I made the same decission at the start of the season  after having a ST for over 20 years. He goes I return.
