Randy Lerner

[Villa in Denmark]

Does anyone have the phone numbers for any of the restaurants in New York?

If Lerner is going to break his radio silence and answer all of those points in one sitting, I'd be looking in all the bars that serve 30 types of whiskey as he summons up some Dutch courage.

His statements are always full of riddles anyway so will probably have a quick browse of it, swear a bit in frustration and move on.

That's what I'm expecting.  We'll all be asking what the hell he's on about.

[Billy Walker]

Apparently making a statement today

In the context of this season, ten weeks too late.

In the context of his whole custodianship of Villa, farcical.  What a way to run and lead an organisation.  Hopefully he's going to tell us he is clearing off - I fear, however, that it will be a rambling, ambiguous load of old nonsense.

[villabear]

Is he going to mention 'the Shunammite' again or some similar gobbledegook?

[Chris Jameson]

He is Ted Rogers and Aston Villa are his Dusty Bin.

[LTA]

So Garde asked for this 2 weeks ago and they've only just around to it?

And why can't Lerner come over here instead of demanding everyone drops everything and comes to him?

A lot of decisions he and the club have made are as unfathomable as the clues on 3-2-1.

Because he's A) The Boss, B) A ******? C) All of the above?

Like the imminent Chairman and board member, they're fucking numpties mate, they avoid their responsibilities because Aston Villa are a mess and it requires a hell of a lot of hard work and effort to sort it out.

They're having to make a statement because the manager has basically told them he is not the whipping boy who is going to sit their and eat the entire shit sandwich whilst they hide away from the mess they've created.

Credit to Remi for telling them they need to do this, it's a sign he isn't their yes man.

[Phil from the upper holte]

Also i'd rather he say nothing rather than come out with his usual bollocks, Only speak when you can tell us that you're going forever.

[Chris Jameson]

He'll be announcing some kind of tie up with the US Marines after his mates bizarre rallying call last week.

[Brend'Watkins]

Maybe he'll tell us about our latest Delotte ranking.

[kippaxvilla2]

Yes David along the lines of "The Shulamites have told me to fuck off, so I am going back to Plan B, only problem is at the minute, I am not sure what Plan B is, so I have asked Tom and what ever his name is to come and have a spot of lunch with me and General Custer to sort one out. I will get back to you in 2 years time when we have it sorted, Proud History, not sure about tomorrow, toodle pip guys"

This one made me laugh a lot.
