Randy Lerner

[Smirker]

I see one of the major shareholders in Arsenal, who is worth over £1bn, has sold up amidst rumours he is looking to buy a premier league club.

You got a source femdom?

I doubt we are going to have 2 or 3 dodgy owners leading us to going into administration twice, which is why they dropped like a stone.

Well, we've got a dodgy owner now. If someone offers the required asking price, I doubt if Randy will be too arsed as to whether they are dodgy or not.

In what way is Lerner dodgy? He's a poor owner, but he's not crook. We're nothing like Portsmouth or their desperate financial situation, but then I expect those being so.incredulous as to countenance dropping out the football league know that.

Why a Noses wet dream is being posted without a hint of irony and wasting bandwidth, I have no idea.

Noses and wet dreams ? Surely they're all eunuchs?

[brian green]

They surely are Mr U.  Their wet dreams are of owning shabby raincoats.

[Jon Crofts]

When Mr Lerner sells The Villa, i wonder if he will buy another sports club ?

He shouldn't be trusted with a packet of Top Trumps.

I didn't say he was a crook, I said he was dodgy.
"In what way is Lerner dodgy?" You ask.
I'm not going to waste bandwidth in answering that. It should be self-evident

1 owner can do just as much damage.

You're conflating being shit with being underhand/dodgy.

I think Lerner's worst shortcoming is that he does not know how to dodge.  He walks straight into situations that need to be avoided.  The curse of the naive and the know all.  He reminds me of the man I once saw walk up the Edgware Rd through the barriers into a foot of freshly poured concrete.  The look on his face as he looked down to his shins in concrete said " how did this happen?"

Dodgy can mean potentially dangerous or poor quality too. Lerner fits the bill with both of those. It doesn't have to mean underhanded or a crook.

Dodgy can be  short of the required standard or lacking quality. I'd say that's Lerner wouldn't you? He's patently a gormless, out of his depth over privileged rich kid.

There's a fair old difference between Lerner being a crap owner and being an owner/s that takes a club into administration twice in a 2 years, being issued with a winding up order and ends up in a situation where every professional player at the club has left before the season starts.

He's not a dodgy Gaydamak, buying player on the never never, and leaving the club in administration and unable to pay players, which was the pointless comparison made in an attempt to justify the most idiotic post made on this site in some years.

Of course he isn't. Lerner is a rubbish owner, but I don't think he's anywhere near Gaydamak territory.
