He says that everybody at the Club believes we will stay up. Fox certainly doesn't. I doubt if Lerner does either.

From The Sun. Hilarious witticisms comparing Villa with the the U.S. military omitted.

General Charles Krulak says Aston Villa will summon the spirit of the US Marines to escape the drop

Home Garde told: Don’t panic!

GENERAL Charles Krulak says Aston Villa will summon the spirit of the US Marines to escape the drop.

The rock-bottom Midlands outfit are marooned on eight points — a whopping 11 adrift of safety.

And they have had more managers than wins this season!

Tim Sherwood at least guided Villa to a 1-0 victory at Bournemouth on the opening day of the Premier League season.

Following Sherwood’s sacking, new boss Remi Garde has picked up just four points from nine games.

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.”


Deluded. Comical.

This is typical of what we have become, but also lends a vision on the thing people are being fooled into believing is happening at Villa.
 
I have read on here numerous times that we are now getting it right off the field with the structure, but what no one seems to have noticed, we might have the right titles for positions in place, CEO, Football Technical whatever, but that is no good at all, if the people filling those positions are Randy bell ends which is exactly what they are.

God help us, its tough now but I have a horrible feeling this is just the start.

Hard to imagine this buffoon was welcomed with open arms as a breath of fresh air a few years ago before turning into a complete mentalist. Sender Fi or fuck you as I like to say.

That's it then, we need to drop a few thousand tonnes of bombs on our opponents to soften them up first.

Mind you, when you think about what he's spent and lost and is about to lose going down, its mind boggling. 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.

I'll take a leveraged buy out if it rids us of Lerner's particular brand of fuckwittery. 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

And presumably be second in line jumping up an down because £XM per year is servicing debt with banks instead of being used on the team.

The day he finally sells will be a great day for him I'd guess. It will only be a great day for us if he hasn't sold us to Carsen Yeung II.
