Randy Lerner

[SamTheMouse]

I reckon this one is going to be in the form of a haiku.

I find it extraordinary that the poor Manager has to virtually beg them to make a statement and to ensure they actually issue one, has to repeat that he requested it two weeks ago at a pre match Press Conference.  In all their years of the circus I don't even remember Small Heath managers having to do such things.  But I admit there is every likelihood something similarly bizarre would have happened.

My big worry is that hearing what's going on, Lerner will respond petulantly in a 'sod you' way and pull out from any further investment.

I know it wouldn't make sense to any self respecting businessman but he's proved his incompetence and irrationality.

We could be heading for the lower leagues in consecutive years.

He's making a statement it's all obviously under control. I feel becalmed, what's to worry about? Have we signed the shunamites all star eleven?

I can't imagine his comments today about how he shouldn't be the only person to speak out at Villa will go down very well at all with Lerner and Fox.  Not that he's wrong of course.

Probably not.  But it shows that he has the balls to call it out.  Fair play to him.

It suggests to me that he's had enough, and isn't overly bothered if he pisses Lerner off or not.  Either he spurs the stupid owner into action, or he annoys him and gets to leave before his reputation gets severely tarnished.

Agreed.

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

And the good deal we have got on toilet rolls. A large consignment (enough to last us 50 years) will be stored in the vacant Upper Trinity stand area while we accommodate smaller crowds.

Agreed.

Sounds about right

This time I expect Lerner to give his 'address to the villa nation' in the medium of modern dance or mime.

We got here early. These managers must really wind Randy up.

This maybe an old story but old Randy's portrait is hanging from the walls of the National Portrait Gallery

You'll be surprised to learn it was done in only one sitting!!

I think we've finally discovered the identity of the person guilty of redrawing the club badge.

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

We can whittle them down a bit by only ringing those with underground car parks
