We just need a fresh start. Lerner has to go if we go down. There's no way he could demand 150m with championship income streams so the price would have to drop significantly.

Could be a great chance for a new consortium, take us over at our lowest ebb for decades with all the potential we'd still have and the chance to be heroes if we went up and then re-established us properly in the prem.
i think he would do well to get£ 50million. That is one hell of a write off.

When you miss run a ''business'' as badly as he has then it's only to be expected. The sting in his pocket will be only a shadow of what the fans will feel. I genuinely feel badly for some of the guys that have travelled thousands and thousands of miles these past few years to see defeat after defeat and very few goals. I know you take the highs with the lows and that's what supporting a club is about but boy have we had our share of lows these last few seasons.

Lerner will get his for what he's helped served on the club and it's support, a great big hit in the wallet when he finally goes and that will hurt him the most.

If he loses hundreds of millions he'll still be a stinking rich man. The man has no shame.

How do you work that one out? There's plenty to criticise his ownership of the Villa for, but to abuse him personally is wide of the mark.

When he starts taking some personal responsibility perhaps people might show some respect.

To claim he has no shame is a personal insult? If he's insulted by something that mild it's no wonder he's such a recluse. I stand by it anyway. What he's put this club and its fans through over the last 5 years is bloody scandalous.

The man is a disgrace and should not be allowed out of the house, and certainly not anywhere near any sports team. And sorry, I agree, he's a c**t

This. He needs to be hounded out.

How are you going to hound out a billionaire from 4,000 miles distance?

He ain't nothing but a hound dog.

I'm not talking about respect or a lack thereof - I'm saying that to say he "has no shame" and calling him a c*** are a bit daft.

I would feel shame for taking one of the true giants of English football and slowly but surely draining the life out of the club and relegating them. I would be embarrassed and ashamed to have presided over that. I would be embarrassed and ashamed to preside over all the unwanted records we've broken the last 5 years. He won't be though, he doesn't care. If he had any shame he wouldn't have turned up at Wembley playing at being a Chairman again.

I've never called him a c***. I'll never forgive him for giving up 5 years ago though.

He sold the Browns for$1billion, not sure what the divorce cost him but probably more than he will lose on The Villa.

Unless we start paying the going rate for Premier League players wages we're always going to struggle. The budget is set by the chairman not Fox.

His best bet is to get us promoted at the first asking. To do this he'll have to invest heavily. But guess what.......
