All well and good saying cut out the Lerner bashing, but sorry, you buy AVFC that comes with a whole load of responsibility and accountability.

Yes it's so all well and good to say cut out the Lerner bashing that nobody actually said it, still don't let that hold you back.
Try page 7 or 8 of this thread. Knock yourself out

One post standing up for him and referring to "bashing" in a thread of 223 posts?
You said nobody. I've corrected you.

Well done.

Not like you to fixate on a tree whilst failing to spot the forest.

Well, when i say "not like you" what I actually mean is "entirely like you", but hey ho.

Hookey said he was fed up of it, Clampy said some of the things said were shameful. I didn't see a post telling to people to cut it out. So it's still nobody as far as I can see, feel free to quote whoever did say cut it out.

And as for the rest of the post, what difference would it even make if Randy gave us some quarterly state of the nation address?

The last two times he has said anything about the club, it has been nonsensical rubbish about Shummanites or whatever. If we want someone to bring clarity to the situation, getting Randy to speak to us is right down the list alongside appointing footyskillz as our new press officer.

That's not a slur on Lerner, incidentally, that's just the way it is. It wouldn't make a scrap of difference.

It's there to be seen.

Lerner is a disgrace for the contempt he has shown the fans , months , years even of blanking us. He deserves the abuse.

What sort of abuse is acceptable, out of interest?

Well when I say "abuse" I mean constructive criticism .
Together with that fake General bloke. He deserves a bit too.

They're two different things. Totally different.

So he deserves at some points some quite vile personal abuse because he doesn't live up.to.your expectations.

Oh , so if someone said he's been a crap chairman and really crap custodian of the club and arguably done more damage to this club than anyone in its history , you can categorise that however you like .

Deserves all the grief he gets in my book. I doubt that he's bothered though as he clearly doesn't give a shit about the club.

He also deserves a friendly pat on the back for not throwing us under the bus with debt.*



*Yes, I know his board created it.

Walnuts said "nobody" he was wrong. I don't think he needs you jumping to his aid , he's admitted he was wrong so we move on

I am not saying he has had it, just that there is a limit to all this.

It is, after all, only football.
