Randy Lerner

[aj2k77]

Dodgy

dishonest or unreliable.

Not dishonest, he hasn't outright lied to us. Unreliable, yes I think we can say that.

potentially dangerous.

Yep, he fits that bill. He's negligent.

of low quality

Definitely covers Lerners leadership

He ticks nearly all the boxes, he's a right dodgy owner.

The summer is Lerner last chance to salvage any money from his costly toy. Poor choices this summer and no investment will define try mean that we won't come back up and then we'll be down with the likes of Preston for a fair few years. He has one last throw of the dice this summer to get back a fair few of his millions. Make the wrong decisions and he can wave goodbye to a fortune that people like us can only dream about. So Randy now is the time to go out a buy a large set of balls because if you don't then you plus us have a truly miserable future ahead of us. If you don't believe me Randy just look at the likes of Leeds,  Portsmouth, Wednesday and a few others.

Dishonesty takes many forms, it's nuanced and there are many shades of grey.
Consider the proud history, and custodian guff he's spouted at various times, his actions have been utterly contrary to his words. He's doesn't get off Scott free on the honesty point for me.

Spot on. God knows why people are getting hung up on a single word. Tell you what though, he feels bloody dodgy to me.

[clash city rocker]

I don't think he is dodgy. I think his biggest failing is that he cannot stand up to problems. They frighten him and he hides himself away and pays someone else to try and sort them out. This then goes from bad to worse as whoever advises him then usually pick the wrong option. He can't get rid of his advisors because he has no one to do that for him. Confrontation means he is like a rabbit in your headlights.

[Clampy]

I'd call the likes of Carson Yeung dodgy personally.

[croatian]

We'd be better off arguing about the meaning of semantics.

You're not wrong there.

[pauliewalnuts]

I'd call the likes of Carson Yeung dodgy personally.

Exactly.

Lerner is clueless in the extreme, but by the usual usage of the word when used about football club owners, 'dodgy' is very unfair.

Blundering fool, yes, but up there with Yeung Shinawatra or Cellini? No.

That's easy for you to say, you paedophile.

It's only "a single word".

It's only "a single word".

But not really analogous.

[pauliewalnuts]

Well it shows how much it is possible to be offensively wrong with "a single word".

Aren't there enough things out there to damn Lerner with without having to resort to nonsensical accusations like this?

Look at the monumental clusterfuck he has presided over to get us to this mess, FFS. There's easily enough to condemn him already. It's like when people call him an asset stripper (which he isn't).

The annual accounts prove the degree to which he is not "dodgy".

[aj2k77]

So you've never said so and so is a dodgy player? Or they've got a dodgy keeper? Lerner is a dodgy owner in that fashion. No one said he's a crook, he's inept and useless in his role as owner.

He's not crooked. He is however, incapable and that makes him dodgy in my book.

[olaftab]

It's a criminal that we are going down.
