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.

Me, too.

Drives me ficking mad when I'm using my phone, especially when somebody then posts 'this'.

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.

If he bought the biggest club in the Midlands which rightly or wrongly carries the hopes and dreams of tens of thousand of people yet can't be bothered to run it, then I fail to see how he can be a basically decent person.

Doing the right thing by Villa is not running us on the budget of a bottom five club.  Someone posted last season's Premier League wage rankings the other day and it spoke volumes about the corners Lerner has been trying to cut over the past few years.  He has employed a succession of managers to soak up the frustrations and ire of the fans whilst he has hidden. All proper avenues of communication have been quietly taken away whilst Lerner has put his own interests first and cut the Club to the bare bones.

Lerner= destruction of AVFC. When is he going to be man enough to face the fans with his "bright future" explanation?

It also showed that our budget isn't amongst the bottom five clubs in the league.
