I just can't see us stabilising with these fuck wits running throughout the club. Every decision they make leaves me shaking my head. You promise we win the league in 2020?

No promises!

You'll be watching Tamworth win the league before Villa I reckon!

Now you see, I've been through this sort of shit with Tamworth. A complete meltdown from about 1980 to 84 which saw the club eventually take voluntary relegation to the West Midlands League to avoid going out of business altogether.
Five years later we were winning the FA Vase.

It's ok for Learner, all he's lost is money.
We as supporters have lost a damn sight more than that.

So should he continue to throw his money at the club because we supporters stand to lose out? I just don’t get a comment like this at all.  Has he made an utter and total mess of it, damn right he has, but he’s hardly going to keep chucking his money in when he clearly wants to sell up. I hate what’s happening as much as anyone else, but he is only going to keep us ticking over until he can find a new owner.
We ain't ticking over though. We're sinking. Not enough effort to shore up the sinking ship.

We were fatally holed years ago.  A succession of botched repairs have kept the waves away, but not this time.

It is genuinely a sad day when Aston Villa decides it can't be bothered to save itself from relegation.

If this is Lerner keeping us 'ticking over', god help us if he really loses interest!

I know there's comparisons with Derby in 2008, but I would say this is worse even though we've scored more points.  Derby were arguably promoted before they were ready.  We've been in the bloody thing since it started.

Simply no excuse for our total disorganisation.  Given our motto is prepared, we should be done under the trades descriptions act.

I hate Lerner.
I hate Fox.
I'm gonna make an early judgement and say I hate Hollis.

I'd quite like to leave a flaming turd on each of their doorsteps. If I didn't know any better I'd think they were three noses who found the keys to Villa park and decided to play a 6 year practical joke on us.

Fuck the fuckers.

Shame on the powers that be.

If Garde does have enough of the clowns I hope he signs no non-disclosure agreement and tells us exactly what this lot are really like.

It's time for accountability. After this, utterly appalling January (I won't bore you with that I think of all that has happened up to 1 January) this regime has zero credibility in my eyes.

Lerner, I've said it for years and got heavily criticised for it, is fucking useless!!

This sorry mess will become someone like Michael Moore's next tome of how to destabilise, fail at every level, lower expectations, penurise, promise the world and deliver less than jack shit.

FFS Randy sell up!! Sell it for what you paid for it. £64M. You've done horrific damage these last 5 years. We need people in charge who have some semblance of sanity.

The Aston Villa that I knew it finished a long time ago and the last few years have shown how bankrupt its credibility hasbecome in it's death throes.

I feel sorry for the manager having to put up with such crap, as i really believe with proper backing that he could the best thing to happen to our club in years, but sadly with incompetent imbiciles in charge nothing worthwhile will ever came out of their involvement with Aston Villa.

I hope Remi doesn't walk, but to be honest, if he has any sense they will dump the toxic involvement with this board and be well rid of such idiots.

During our struggles over the last six years, they have proved themselves lamentable when it comes to sorting this mess out.

Now it's too late and this selfish bunch of fools will be left with a half  empty stadium and a fanbase that expects something more for our hard earned pounds than they are capable of giving.

I was in the library the other day and noted there was a book by Brian Reade about the Hicks/Gillette ownership of Liverpool subtitled '44 months with a couple of cowboys' or something like that. Mate, you don't know the half of it.

This is a new low point isn't it. And if they do this what else are they likely to do. I suppose some people just don't care if they become despised.
