Randy Lerner

[Malandro]

Exactly what is the point of hiring a Chairman under this ownership structure exactly?

Exactly what is the point of hiring a Chairman under this ownership structure exactly?

Needs to maintain a firm grip on the wheel and steer the ship firmly into that massive fucking iceberg.

Ah I see a scapegoat.  Step forward SGT.

I dreamed last night, or I should I say this morning, that The Randoid sold us  to a mysterious Chinese entity in a fit of pique after large sections of the support bared their buttocks on live TV in a mooning protest organized by a militant section of the Brigada 1874 (Marxist-Leninist) against his stewardship. It then transpired that entity was in fact a Maoist cult based in Brixton who had a made of fortune shorting Commodities on Black Thursday using the notorious BearBot algo following the Fed rate hike decision of the previous day.

The Mad Maoist's first step was to initiate a Cultural Revolution by sending the the entire playing staff on a Long March to East Anglia to pick fruit until they learned the correct position on defending the long diagonal ball.  The infamous Gang of Four were tried by a Revolutionary Council for Feckless Fuckwittery and proliferating Clusterfucks against the Masses by transorming the once grat club into a Factory of Sadness.

They were found guilty and sent to Morecambe Beach to pick muscles in adverse tidal conditions as revenge for a former incident which nobody remembers. 

It was the announced that speccy fuckers with soft hands, if they tried to go down the match, would be herded onto the pitch and made to grow rice and dig tunnels deep. Then Lucy Liu appeared left field and I woke up in a pool of sweat.

It is too late now but what should've happened, was that someone be that a chairman and not just a salaried yes man to review the situation and make an assessment of what would be needed to maintain our Premier League status and thus the owners investment.
This did not happen and we have started a campaign with a squad of players not fit for purpose because the investment to cope with the loss of key players was not made.

In fairness, and respecting his Godly status, that's alarmist rubbish.

I love the man for his football, but there is a decent reason or two that he is not a pundit. There will be many of these predictions in the coming months though, many on here will proclaim the end of the club, that it has died, Lerner has killed it and all manner of bandwagon jumping hyperbole will be spouted. Much of it will be a load of bollocks. When I have finished I will try and form a rational opinion.

Mao ? Lmao !

Stan Collymore tweeted about the "German Way" and how their clubs are owned and run in the Bundesliga, they are usually supporter owned and the memberships and ticket prices are ludicrously cheap compared to England which leads to sell out crowds and a better relationship with the fans plus they have great youth systems and academies (so all good for the national team).

Now I don't know how we'd go about organizing x amount of supporters stumping up x amount of pounds each but you'd like to believe that with the potential fan base we had in the midlands and around the globe we could put enough together to get our club back. I know it is all a pipe dream but if we are going to rebuild then why not go the whole hog... like I said, nice to dream.

[ChicagoLion]

Who is going to be on the Board of this fan based ownership ?

Will it be the People's Front of Judea or the Judea People's Front?

God help us.

[ROBBO]

If lerner runs true to form the chairman will come from somewhere like a hair transplant company with the
benefit of being easy to get on with.

[brian green]

A great man on the pitch without a doubt.  Best Villa player ever?  No.  Off the pitch a sick and deeply troubled man.

I will make my own mind up about our destiny.

I find the Should Sherwood have been sacked poll results under the article currently far more alarming? Yes 40% No 60%???!!

[Jimbo]

I remember when the notion of relegation was alarmist rubbish.

[kippaxvilla2]

The Mail are on another serious wind up with that poll coming as it does a full 7 weeks after he was sacked.
