The fans of Aston Villa would also like to dream that somebody so rich and so stupid would want to buy us now given our current league position.

The fans of Aston Villa would like to welcome Donald Trump.

We'll be lucky to find a better guy with similar money to burn.

I've still got time for Randy. Think he's always wanted the best for us.

Relegation? I'd say the majority is his fault

I would assume that if we do go down we will be stuck with him.....

Yeah, bless him. Our 5 year decline has just been bad luck. What a guy!

Ah General Krulak's famous five-year decline.

To be fair, Randy always finished shed bottom of the league with the Browns, so consistency is obviously important to him. I think he wanted to do well, did some good things around the club, on the periphery, like the pub and the mosaic but has completely failed on the football side of things, where it is the most important bit of the business. We are run by amateur.

Yeah remember when he gave a flying shit. Some ''custodian'' he's turned out to be. Whatever happened to that Chairman he said he was going to appoint? Too much effort?

Probably gone to final interview. It's either the Enron guy or that chap from Lehman brothers.

This sums up his muddled, clear as mud approach to leadership.  He has no focus and all evidence suggests he can't stick to a plan.

Remember the "U.S.A." chants at the Emirates for his first game as owner. New dawn, new owner, new manager. Remember what it was like to be optimistic and to have fans of other teams casting an envious eye in our direction.
