But board member Krulak — reclusive owner Randy Lerner’s right-hand man — claims Villa should draw inspiration from his own glittering military career.The 73-year-old was a commander in the first Gulf War and also served in Vietnam.He told SunSport: “I faced way bigger 'losing battles' than this — and won them.“You can’t tell me this is impossible. Three wins in a row and we are back in the mix.“That’s what Randy believes and what everyone at the Villa believes. The day you don’t believe is the day you quit. “Let’s just look at Desert Storm. It was 4am and we were standing next to minefields separating Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. There were trenches filled with gas, massive artillery ready to rain down on us and the threat of chemical attack.“My next in command looked at me and said, ‘How are we gonna get through this?’“I said, ‘We’re gonna do it, we’re gonna go through this like a knife through butter’. “It’s easy to give up but you can’t do that. We fought our way through those minefields and the rest is history.“Never forget that Randy’s father was also in the US Marines and he shares these values, these beliefs.”A belief in miracles would probably be handy right now.Villa have gone 19 games without a Premier League win and still need four points to pass Derby’s record low of 11 points during a Prem season, set in 2008. There are suspicions Villa will keep their powder dry in this month’s transfer window and save their money for the Championship.But Krulak added: “I speak to Randy almost every day.“He is a man of high values and integrity — the equal of anyone I have ever known.“His word is his bond. Nobody has their sights set on anything other than staying up and Randy is backing the manager 100 per cent.”

He literally could have grabbed some bloke off the street to run the club and lost less money. It's like he had some sort of Brewster's milllions thing going on. Still won't dent the Lerner fortune. As the son of a hugely successful man, it's unlikely that he has ever really had to work at anything or put it all on the line. People like Lerner are as poorly qualified to pass the Fit & Proper Person test as the thug that owns Chelsea - both deeply unsuitable to be custodian of a famous football club but for different reasons.Had the entire Lerner fortune been at risk due to our relegation then I am sure that we would be in a different position.Then he wouldn't be the owner.Any change of ownership will require either someone of the same wealth level or the joys of a leveraged buy out.

If the new owners pay for us with magic beans,I won't care as long as they have a clear coherent plan to run us, can communicate this plan clearly, unlike the stupid mute American
That's it then, we need to drop a few thousand tonnes of bombs on our opponents to soften them up first.Yippee kiyay mother f#####s!!!!!!USA USA USA USA......
Serious question.Is Krulak demeted or have alzheimer's?
