Randy Lerner

Has pelty been on lately?

I used to watch 'Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares', where Gordon Ramsay would visit failing restaurants and suggest new ideas.  Despite applying for him to visit their restaurant, some owners wouldn't listen to any advice being given and seemed totally in denial.  They would have a goodness knows how many Michelin starred chef and owner telling them where they were going wrong yet they wouldn't listen or they'd still be reliant on a close circle of fellow idiots who were the reason why the business was failing. 

It seems that Lerner is one of those types.

[Villa in Denmark]

Lerner is basically a gigantic, incompetent man-baby.

Hiding the other side of the atlantic, prone to enormous mood swings, incapable of putting a meaningful sentence together, he's opted to communicate with us purely via kicks in the bollocks as he tramples over the club's pride.

And where is General Krulak these days, I wonder? Except for being one of the few people left on the Villa board, obviously.

I'm 47, have cared about the club for about 40 of those years, and have never felt as low about Villa as i have these last few days.

Everything about the club is wrong - absolutely everything.

Even the stuff about closing the upper trinity is monumentally depressing. A club with a vision or something that could be called ambition would have done everything it could to fill that ground, not make it smaller.

We look like we are settling in for a long stay in the Championship. Which is wrong, if only because we look more likely to wind up in League One under this unpredictable fucking lunatic.

We're like the opposite of aim the stars and you might hit the moon.

We're more aim for the ground and drill straight through it with one of those machines they used for The Channel Tunnel. 

It's feels like we're just passing into the second ring of Dante's Inferno.

I have this feeling that eventually randy will address the media about the lack of willingness to sell the club with the words 'because the king of the potato people won't let me'.

Dante is a very intelligent fellow poster and hardly deserves that level of calumny.

I'll believe him if he's wearing a red and white check gingham dress.

Absolutely spot on in every respect except one. The way I see it, the decline is exponential whilst Lerner remains in control. The idea that we will spend a long time in the Championship is extremely optimistic. We are a club in rapid decline and the most likely outcome is successive relegations.

Only Lerners departure will halt that process.

Whatever turns you on, PWS.

If I'd mixed the word order up a little bit then you might have been right!

Anyway I thought transition from 1st ring (Limbo) to 2nd ring (Lust) was about right for the club.

Gabby is ahead of the curve there as he's already passed through the 3rd ring (Gluttony)and must soon be finished with the 4th ring (Greed), but in an impressive display of achieving duality in his metaphysical state he's also still inhabiting the first ring.

The fans meanwhile are split (as ususal) most residing in the 5th ring (anger), but some have progressed almost to the 7th ring (violence)

It appears that Lerner oscillates (or maybe vacillates would be more appropriate) between the 8th ring (Fraud) and the 9th ring (Treachery)

The 6th ring (Heresy) is currently unoccupied as everyone agrees he needs to go.

Supporting us right now is like walking on a carpet of up turned plugs and Lego.  To that end, I hope that there is a God and that he's a vengeful Old Testament God who really holds a fucking grudge and, coincidentally, he sat in K3 for years gisguised as fat Ste from Kingstanding. Lerner would then suffer walking on plugs and Lego for eternity. And stubbing his little toe on the corner of sofas. Day after day, year after year. Forever.

That would learn the dip shit.

Maybe he's taken his own advice, doesn't like it so gone to 'support' somebody else.
