Randy Lerner

[Risso]

Stop playing the victim SH, and just get on with posting would be my advice mate. 

[saunders_heroes]

Which I get pulled up about, though i never get nasty with anyone. Don't ever remember you pulling anyone up when they get personal with me though. What's that, Dave?

Please don't play the innocent. You were slagging me for months before you got banned last time - would you like me to quote some of the highlights?

Carry on Dave, and I'll pull up all the attacks on me that you and your mods miraculously missed. Deal?

Fine by me, then as you clearly don't like this place or the people who run it you can go away and never post on here again. Is that alright?

I like it here, Dave. You should know that by now.

Then stop acting like an outraged virgin every time someone disagrees with you.

[Chris Harte]

I know he's sent mixed messages on this over the past couple of years, but I still believe Lerner is fundamentally inclined towards trying to leave a decent legacy here. However bad his decision making has been I feel he's less likely to leave us in the shit financially than the vast majority of owners out there would be.

Let's hope for the club's sake you're correct about that.

[dave.woodhall]

I hope I'm right in this, but I believe that Lerner is a basically decent man, who just can't/won't be  boithered with the effort of running a Premier League club anymore but still wants to do the right thing by us. 

[SamTheMouse]

Sounds about right. Nice but dim. It's hard to dislike the guy - he's done a lot of good things. In general the club has conducted itself in a very proper, honourable way under him, and I like that.

It's just a shame he's so utterly shit at running professional clubs.

[The Man With A Stick]

Sounds about right.  If he had the right people running the club over the last ten years while he took a back seat, then things might have turned out differently.  Instead he employed some idiot from a call centre and have him the job of CEO of a Premier League club.

Lerner is well meaning but so inept I wouldn't trust him to find his own arse in the dark with both hands. No doubt he'll try sell us to the right man. Step forward Doug Ellis...

Ha!

[Toronto Villa]

and that list shows you don't have spend loads of money on transfer fees, salaries and agents to compete. You need good players, through good scouting, good managers and coaches and confidence, Pardew, Koeman, Ranieri and the clubs they manage have done that.

Our wage bill is dropping as our league positions drops. Can you not see a link there?

Yes and I am hoping for it to drop a bit more so that by the end we are top of the league.

You really do miss the obvious every time. That you don't need to spend the most to be a competitive side, yet the needle snapped off so long ago that you refuse to acknowledge that outside of those clubs who have so much to force a huge divide there is no real correlation between money spent and league position.

You really do find the positive in every single shitty stat this club has produced over the last 6 seasons don't you. I maybe like a stuck record but at least I'm realistic, and the more we reduce our wage bill the further we fall down the table and closer and closer we head toward the trap door. And if you think we should be the new Leicester you've got more screws loose than I thought you had. What on earth do they put in the water in Canada??

You're so angry at everything that instead of debating the point I was making which wasn't about Villa specifically you made it into me defending the club. Which if you bothered to pay attention you'd notice I've done very little of for ages now. I don't see the point in defending things that are indefensible.

Oh I'll keep the higher ground too and not resort to personal digs, but knock yourself out if that's all you have left.

The only thing I'm angry about is the decline of the Villa. Thanks for not getting personal though.

Fucking quotathons. All the fucking time. Because quoting every fucking word of a discussion is imperative to getting your two word comment in. Drives me nuts.

Same here.

[in exile]

Why don't they ALL just put up, shut up, and stop boring the rest of us with it?
