I don't know who knows what about whom. As for who knows what about the known unknowns well it's anybodys guess.

Superb!
Sadly, Randy and any of his cohorts would fail to understand

[b[I don't know who knows what about whom.[/b]As for who knows what about the known unknowns well it's anybodys guess.

Reminds of something a former boss told me, only half in jest, "It's not what you know, it's not even who you know that ensures that you get on in life. It's what you know about who you know."

Completely irrelevant to the matter in hand, but hey ho.

Hands up who knew the names of our chairman, secretary or even a director or two before the advent of the Internet? I know I did. I even heard them speak via the media. It's almost being suggested that before the age of the Internet fans didn't know their arses from their elbow when it came to their football club and who was in charge.

It's debatable whether you know your arse from your elbow in the internet age

Well maybe so but while I was pointing out that the club was in decline and all the signs were there to see you were too busy organising a ticker tape parade for Randy's Young and Hungry parade to notice.

Are you a real person or a spambot?
You only seem to react to certain phrases in other posts with five or six variations on

"I said they were shit before anyone else"
and "Young and Hungry lies"

Know who they are, do not know who they are, what we do know that together they are making one hell of a fuck up out of Aston Villa, maybe thats what is worth getting upset about.

Ain't that the truth. The worse part is that they're getting away with it.

Because I don't want to and the bloke want's to sell the club anyway so i'll leave it to those who feel strongly enough to want to protest, which is fair enough.

What does that even mean?

The likes of Fred "the Shred "Goodwin "got away with it.

If he's "getting away with it", presumably there's some sort of fitting punishment you've got in mind?

Fair enough, but it's not all about telling him to sell up. For me it's more about reminding him of the fact he owns a fantastic football club that he is running into the ground with his austerity. The fans still have pride in their club unlike the owner.

And once again spectacularly or wilfully misses the point.

The budget that the club has been run with other the last 3-4 years, whilst not as luxurious as the unsustainable stupidity of MON, has been perfectly adequate to keep the club "ticking over" in mid table if you compare our wages bill to the likes of  Southampton, Everton and so on. The problem is, as it has been from the day Ellis handed him the keys, is that he is useless at owning / running a sports institution.

Bingo. And no matter how much evidence you give to the contrary, SH will always come back to blaming all of our woes on Lerner being tight.

Hence the spambot question earlier.

You really could just put a word filter on his posts that says

"Yada yada yada, same as it ever was"
