Randy Lerner

[Toronto Villa]

To the tune of London bridge is falling down.

Randy Lerner is a nose, is a nose, is a nose.
Randy Lerner is a nose, he hates Villa

Fucked us up and ran away, ran away, ran away.
Fucked us up and ran away,
he's a bluenose.

that is absolutely shit

[Rico]

Most football related chants are shit, juvenile amd puerile though aren't they? I thought it was funny when I heard it the other night in the pub.

Let's just hope he hires this new chairman sharpish and takes some good advice in his choice.

I'd expect to hear Bluenoses singing that, not Villa.

I'd join in if I were to hear it sung anywhere.
If fact I'm expecting Randy Lerner to reveal his upside down blues tattoo any day soon.

This is my worry. So far, Lerner has got just about every decision wrong.  What are the chances that he brings in the business and football equivalent of Rodney Trotter to run the club?  This is a distinct possibility, nay, probability, based on how he has run the club so far.  My one abiding hope for the future is either Lerner sells soon and buggers off, or, puts in to place a David Dein type person to run things properly.  Some hope!!

not another Arsenal reject surely!

[Dante Lavelli]

With all the arsenal connections at the club, the David Dein for chairman idea might not be that fanciful.
Wiki suggests that he is still involved in football but with no permanent role.  Probably got enough cash to buy in too, especially if relegated.

It's a great idea but we know deep down it will be another nobody or some simpleton promoted beyond their means again.

On what basis would you describe him as a reject?  The quotes on the wiki I read above are v complimentary.

I think we've reached a point where the only people prepared to work under Lerner would have to be mad.  If they weren't my club, I wouldn't touch Villa with a barge pole. A proper basket case of a football club

You certainly wouldn't consider watching them, we suck as a form of entertainment and this is partly what is worrying me too. If we continue along these lines for much longer then we are doing some damage to our club long term with the fan base and kids just not wanting to be connected with this club unless their parents, like me, have forced the little ones in to it.

David Dein is an extremely shrewd and very clever man. He wouldn't stop at VP for a piss as he drove past on the M6, let alone work here.

Exactly. Why would he want to ruin his CV by working for the Howard Hughes of football owners.

[Steve67]

I said David Dein type.  Not that we are getting David Dein, the apparent Arsenal reject!! It wasn't a suggestion, only an example of someone who knows both business AND football. 

I simply don't want yet another mistake, easy option, anyone will do attitude from Lerner.  We need to get this one right.
