Randy Lerner

[Monty]

I'm behind you 100% with your anti Lerner stance but I still don't think we'll go down.

S_H, I never thought I'd say this, but...what makes you so optimistic? *winky thing*

I went on a stadium tour today. The guide said that under O'Neil the wage bill had risen to 98% of the income. Currently it's at 38%.

I did the stadium tour a few years back. One guy was brilliant (Ansell) the other guy talked nonstop about the corporate side - how far ahead of all but the top four we are.
He said Everton were light years behind.

I also did the stadium tour many years ago. I pointed out and corrected so many errors from the guide that were made. I don't think I'll be allowed back.

It won't be that low next year in the championship.

On another visit, I dropped in just as a tour was starting - the woman in charge was brilliant, she couldn't let me join but called a guy at the security barrier and he let me in to take some pictures and have a walk around.

I take it her knowledge is questionable?!

She was ludiucrously enthusiastic but she definitely subscribed to the theory of "If the myth is better than the reality, tell the myth."

I never can see the appeal of touring the empty stadium. The really interesting stuff is the people who go there. Only last week did I discover that the girl with the long hair and big appetite is an astro physicist.

[Malandro]

I love having a walk around the ground when it's empty. If I'm passing through Birmingham, I often make a diversion. Sad probably!

As for the tour lady, a case of 'know your audience'. The majority of fans on my tour had forty years + experience.

Did Chris Nicholl join you on the tour?

I was on the tour too, small world. Chris was a lovely fella

Back in the day, he and Ian Ross were my favourite players after being really, really nice to me and a friend at the Bond Street training ground

I've asked you this before, but I'll try again.
How much do you think Lerner should have continued to invest, bearing that the current tab is north of £250M?

Background info before answering.

1. Abramovich, a man who's worth around 10 times Lerner's personal net worth, put the best part of £1 billion into Chelsea over a 10 year period before pretty much calling a halt.  They still spend plenty "net" but it's almost all covered by CL and associated TV income.

2. The Mansoors, who to all intents and purposes have limitless wealth,  put the best part of £1.2 billion into Man City over a 5-6 year period before reigning in the chequebook. Again they spend plenty "net"  but it's almost all covered by CL and associated TV income.

3. "Enough" or similar isn't an answer. A number be it £1 or £10 billion or anywhere in between.
