Just had a drink with a Cleveland Browns supporter, he described Randy, he just does not care, was not bothered if they won or lost, liked owning the Browns but could not be bothered to get involved in running them, just wanted some one else to do all that, now he is doing what he did to us to Villa.

did you ask him about all of the owners before and after Randy? And how involved is the owner of the Chicago Bears for example? Are maybe you think Randy should be more like Jerry Jones or Arthur Blank and show up on the sidelines during games completely undermining the position of the head coach.

Or the owner of the New England Charlestown Chiefs who dresses in women's underwear.

Or the owner of Grampus 8 who likes to dance to One Direction during the Half Time interval at home games?  Okay I made that one up.

"Rock bottom" presupposes it can't get any worse. I wouldn't be counting those chickens just yet!

His Dad was the previous owner, not sure what point you are making but if it is an attempt to defend Lerner the facts regarding his Sports ownership achievements are deafeningly loud. He is useless.

Does he prefer the new owners that have finished last every year so far and are currently last again?

Answer the question. If your Cleveland Browns supporting mate is so well versed in the operational ability of Randy Lerner he should be able to break down his predecessors and successors to objectively.

I am not an expert on American football and my mate is not here to ask questions, but my point stands that there is a willingness for some people to rush to Lerners defence by attacking posts that are critical of him.
