I hoped it would never come.

Enough is enough.  If Lerner is still running this club in twelve months time  we will be bottom of the Championship.  How on earth he is getting away with this without serious protests I do not know.   

Absolutely this.

Well I certainly wouldn't trust him to get us up again. He is a stain on this club.

Was watching west ham today and was truly envious of their ownership and future prospects.  I really fear for the future. Being overtaken and left behind by all and sundry

I wouldn't ever be envious of the assorted pornographers that comprise West Ham's ownership and their future prospects that are based on the scandalous way that the tax-payer is funding their new home.

I do though agree with the general observation that we have been overtaken by a multitude of clubs who historically aren't fit to lace our boots, yet have understood what is required to be a well functioning Premier League without the need for Chelsea/Man City type investment.
Yawn.... not fit to lace our boots? It's not the 1890s of 1970s and hasn't been for a good whil weve done nothing of note for nearly 20 years.

Sorry for boring you, but I'd imagine in the last twenty years we've achieved more top-6 finishes that West Ham, Southampton, Swansea and Leicester have achieved in their whole history.  Yet in the space of a few seasons it would appear to be the case that these are the clubs we should aspire to be.

Football Focus mention a depressing stat today. During 2015 Watford accumulated more Premiership points than us and we had a five month head start!

It gets worse and worse and worse. Five years of solid decline and each time we think we hit rock bottom we surprise ourselves further.

Well we are nowhere near rock bottom yet. We could follow this shambles of a half decade with becoming a losing club in the Championship, playing in a half empty ground. The more players we get rid of in the summer the better for me. None of this, they'll storm the division bollocks, they won't. Westwood, Clark, Bacuna, etc stop kidding ourselves, they won't be any good in the championship either, they're shit.

We need to sweep clear the decks, entirely, unfortunately this includes Randy Loser, Fox and all his cronies. No one should walk away from this season unscathed.

Rock bottom will happen on Saturday 23 January.

That's when we play the Bitters who will tear us a new a***hole.

Randy Lerner is a club killer. He should be ashamed of himself.

Mind you, when you think about what he's spent and lost and is about to lose going down, its mind boggling. He literally could have grabbed some bloke off the street to run the club and lost less money. It's like he had some sort of Brewster's milllions thing going on.

I suggested this a week or so ago, I think I might actually cry if this happens.  Even if it isn't, it will be someone who knows fuck all about football and has spent a career in timber framed building construction or time share sales such is the fuckwittery of Lerner.

Welcome back General.

Things are not looking good. Can y'all help ?

A quick motivational speech ?

To send the troops in to battle ?

He tends to go for the Bullshit Salesmen types, the ones who talk about projects, false narratives, building something special, hold on to your seats. In other words cliche ridden fuckwits.
