Randy Lerner

I've come to despise the man. I wish him nothing but ill fate. If we go down, he deserves it.

Harsh. CheltenhamLion's not that bad.

I  all honesty, I probably do deserve such animosity.

[Yossarian]

I wish I was rich enough to buy a football club as a play thing and then to toss them to one side when I am bored of playing football club owner. That's the kind of ennui that I want.

I can think of several individuals I could wish this upon but the Chairman of a failing premiership football club isn't one of them.

Over the last few weeks I have finally joined those that don't see us progressing from perennial strugglers whilst Randy is in charge.  I've always been 'better the devil you know' but I now think that the malaise around the club is set from the top - if Randy has no interest in anything beyond survival then where is the incentive for anyone else employed by the club to be an achiever rather than weak minded, excuse maker.

Part of me thinks that whilst it will hurt to get relegated it will give the result that the board deserve* - it will hurt them in the pocket!

* obv I don't want us relegated :-)

Agree. Eammon Holmes for sure.

Comments about he should have sold up in 2010 - It would have been as good as impossible to sell a football club haemorrhaging £50M per year.  That's what the last 5 years have all been about unfortunately.  Survival whilst trying to get the financial side of things remotely attractive to potential buyers.

Paulie, I think you absolutely nailed it with description.

TopDeck.  I no what you mean about the stench of an organisation meaning that any management changes are as good as futile.

I think the difference this time is that they've actually put an organisation in place.  If we go down this year, it will be because that sort of thing wasn't done years ago.

Cheltenhamlion / Legion, here's hoping you've heard right about Sherwood.

I'd have a lot more respect for him if he got himself over here and made his prescense felt daily. Be at games, go to bodymoor , live in the city. Drink with the fans.

Attend a few games would be a start.
And, not just cup finals !

Yeah, because that worked so well for Ashley at Newcastle didn't it.  And that was whilst he was liked up their.

How do you seriously think it would work out?
I'll hazard a guess that before too long someone start getting very abusive and he'd have to leave, quickly followed by a chorus of keyboard warriors saying how "they'd chased that yank out of the pub" or some such bollocks.

If he's serious about what he said when Fox was appointed, then there's only one person who matters for running the club and that's Fox.

[silhillvilla]

I meant figuratively speaking. Although if he wanted a pint in his pub I'm sure that would pass ok .

[Villa in Denmark]

So he should figuratively live in the city as well?

He used to (or just outside) so yes.

Not being funny, but is English your first language (or even second.)

How the fuck do you figuratively live somewhere?

If we were 6th no one would give a fuck if Randy was ever at VP or BH or never turned up. Where Randy physically is isn't the problem.
