Randolph Lerner needs to be on that list for blowing away any theories some people had that he would just trouser the money from this summers sales. Randy - if this is what the future is going to look like, take the club off the market and stick around.
We haven't played a competitive game yet. Let's save the plaudits for a while...

Randy - if this is what the future is going to look like, take the club off the market and stick around.I'd have to say I'm one of the biggest Lerner defenders around. I've even defended his actions against Browns fans when they were begging him to sell the team as if some new owner was going to magically wave a wand and pull in a new roster over-night that would suddenly look like they had played with each other for 5 years.That said ... Lerner has taken around 40+ million pounds from the sales of Benteke and Delph and let Tim turn them into a slew of other players. His net-spend is probably among the lowest of any year since he's been here. Now granted he let the guy do his work and didn't pocket 40 million pounds and run off into retirement, but let's not pretend he's gone on some massive spending spree all of the sudden ... yet anyway.

We could hve signed a load of duffers for all we know. I'd certainly not heard of any of the French-/Spanish based players before the last few weeks.I want to believe. I'd love to believe, however this club has kicked me in the balls too many times for me to just accept a load of transfer activity as proof that things are going to be better. The last four or five years of gash football have helped see to that.We can start working out if plaudits are due next Saturday at about 4.50pm. It'll be examination one of thirty-eight.
