KMac needs throwing out of the door with the rest of the shit for the way he spat his dummy when Sherwood got binned.  Whilst the games he took charge of, whilst perhaps not the easiest fixtures, his arrogance and I'll show you attitude to the board and somewhat the rest of us in his team selection was nothing more than scandalous.  There was always the outside chance with the correct line-up we may just have gained something making a difference.  Fuck him off.

The Southampton line up was a disgrace and he just helped grow the divide between the newcomers and the old guard. As big a fuck you to everyone as I've seen for a while. He should follow Fox out of the door, both incompetents.

Or he just played the players he knew, had a relationship with and thought he could motivate.

Either way it was a shit line up that didn't use our better players.

Some of the stuff that comes up on from fans on the internet seems all a bit like conspiracy theories, then you realise that whatever the cause it's all a fucking disaster.

A special message for Lerner, Hollis and Fox:



Fuck you; fuck you and the horses you rode in on, you set of useless, spineless, brainless, talentless, incompetent fucks.

The situation isn't funny but this cracks me up.

I prefer "fuckers" to "fucks" because British.

Walk the plank, Yank

All of us whose shares you bought would gladly give you your money back (what you gave us) if you went.

I'd be at Villa Park with it all in pennies as soon as I could find a bank open with enough in stock.

Agreed. There has to be a major purge if we are to be given new life. Of course none of that can proceed until this board are out the door first.

I am no financial genius, but what I cannot understand is how all the TV riches (and prize money) we make year on year as a Premier League club doesn't sort out whatever wages/financial issues we had years ago? Wouldn't all of this for one year easily cover our wage bill? We don't spend much on transfers these days, what, net spend of about £10m- £15m per year? Where does the much publicised TV money go and how can we, as an ever present in the top flight and one of the top 30 richest clubs in Europe, not be competitive in the premier league? I disagree with Hollis, the problem is we haven't been spending money on transfers. Buying in £55m worth is pointless when you sell £40m worth the summer after you finish 17th.

It might have worked if we'd used it to build a decent quality spine.

Good point about the TV money though. The wages were probably greater than the TV money for a while but not now, surely?

Two of the three are American though, hence 'fucks'.

I bet Randy doesn't see points, more likely to be what the annountancy books are saying.
