Randy Lerner

[Dave]

So when can we expect this statement?

Is there anything tangible that suggests that there is going to be any statement?

Only Remi saying he asked for one weeks ago.

If that's all there is to it, surely any extra statement would come from Fox rather than Lerner?

There'll be a statement on Friday

I did like Garde's comments about how he'd only been at Villa 10 weeks and couldn't answer for all the club's problems (we are looking at you Lerner, burying your head in the sand in your New York mansion, you coward).

The problem Garde has got is that even if Lerner is willing to spend a decent amount this month, most players don't want to come due to the position we are in, Garde alluded to as much himself.

Could well be right. I expect it will be spoken about at this meeting this week and they will decide then who needs to take on the responsibility of saying something. Probably do paper, scissors , rock and loser has to write it.

Where did you hear that ?

Only Remi saying he asked for one weeks ago. I think if he is messed around this transfer window and has his needs ignored as we stumble from defeat to defeat then he will walk.

Agree with this. Reading between the lines he sounds pissed off and has called out the chairman, something none of his predecessors had the balls to do.

It has echoes of Gregory with Ellis.

The one thing Remi has going for him right now is that the board won't want to have to search for another manager this season, they will look like complete amateurs if he walked, he will know this and so he will know he has them over a barrel somewhat. If that amounts to anything or not I don't know, we don't seem to have been very proactive in anything yet and the fact he's had to mention something private in public is not that good a sign that they've gotten their arses in to gear anymore than they have done in the past.

We might be shot of dead beat players soon and we might have a manager that wont tolerate slackers but behind the scenes we will still have complete goons running the show and that will always worry me.

You’re not going to get many Premiership players

I hate to keep banging on about it, but how does a professional football journalist get by, not knowing the name of the league that he covers?

That'll be one of the minor benefits of getting relegated, fewer people talking about the f*cking Premiership.

[AVH87]

I thought it was just that fat numpty Alan Brazil that still called it the Premiership, I'm sure that name ceased about 10 years ago.

Another couple of questions I would like to ask:

1.  Are Tom Fox, Henrik Almstad and Paddy Reilly suitable candidates for the roles they are employed in and who made   the decision to hire the above three?

2.  How is the club preparing for what is now looking like an inevitable drop into the Championship?  Will anyone be seeking any advice from people experienced at that level?

1.A - no. 1.B - presumably Randy himself?
2.A - Seemingly not. 2.B - Probably not,  but intelligence from SAF have been known to carry some weight.
