Under this buffoon we've gone 18 games without a league win. A club record which is made even worse with every week that passes.
Shame on you, Randy Lerner. Shame on you.

The General was the best thing to happen to the club. Long before I got involved with the Internet (yesterday), people used to tell me how he came on these forums and how some of the posters used to modify their views. Some even fawned around him, I am told. At least he opened up the lines of communication, which to an old trade union man like me, is vitally important. We need the General back.

Too fucking obvious by far.

The kids bought him a compooooter don't you know!  It was a ZX81.

I can see that record becoming a lot worse before it's halted.

An owner that has turned a club that finished regularly in the top 6 to one that has found themselves relegated by Christmas and we think this same buffoon and his cronies will have the nous to bring us straight back up

I just can't see it myself, not saying well get relegated again but I don't think we will be tearing up trees like Newcastle
once were down there

Once in six seasons before he arrived. Not defending, just sayin'.

I'm just making those aware who aren't that we weren't some piddling club who never got anywhere, we were regularly one of the better sides, 8 top 10's in 10 years before this clown took over.

Granted but mostly top half ,My main point being that how we can expect to come back under an owner that has reduced a club  to where we are now from where we were and we were and are still considered to be a big club when you talk to other fans I just cant imagine them having the nous to rebuild and bring us back up as he has erased any competitive mentality through his apathy, and downgraded expectations and this is where we have ended up  as a result.
 Next season in the Championship I fear will be the first of many

We may have been under performing for a club of our stature prior to Lerners arrival, but pretty much everything he has done since his arrival has rivalled the worse of the Ellis era

I think everyone is on the same wave length that Lerner is a shit Chairman, a poor owner, makes terrible appointments, is apathetic, lazy, unmotivated, fickle, has/had/never will have a plan and we need a decent buyer soon.

Oh and he can't design badges either.

Fuck them and their inept running of the club. If I had my way,I'd be kidnapping the lot of them,some players included,and feeding them to a pet Great White Shark.

We won't recover until they're gone. I dread to think who the new chairman is. Probably an absolute cretin-donald trump,tyson fury,shit cap Gabby..i despair.

I only care about the great fans we have,jordan ayew,veretout,amavi and any other who isnt shit,weak,slow or talentless.

New chairman will be some 'mate' of Randy's. Probably American with no clue about football or some money man who's a fucking pillock and doesn't have his finger on the pulse like Tom Fox.

The new board member? What's the point? Someone Colonel Blinky probably met at this proud history and bright future university that he's involved in.

Both solid, loyal, respectful yes men, with no ounce of football nous.

In early 2010 i went to Villa Palace FA Cup Replay, we won that one and as we left the tv monitors in the Holte said "See you at Wembley" - next match was league cup final. If you'd have told me then where we would be 5 years on i'd have laughed at you

Don't forget 'Call Centre' Paul Faulkner.  Did such a good job he no longer works in football and is instead involved with the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce (to be fair to him he does come across as a nice guy but again no football nous).
