Randy Lerner

[Louzie0]

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.

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

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.

Still described as, 'Dante's Inferno'.
The nomenclature of the various Rings is irrelevant.

Inferno.
That's the real killer.

'Dante's hula hoops', no problem.

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'.

So that's who this Paddy Reilly is?

Hands up. I hate all the races.

[Villa in Denmark]

Inspired by Paulie's description of Randy, can I offer up his new theme tune.

Even the egg and spoon?

[Whiney MacWhineface]

Has pelty been on lately?

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

He was on this afternoon (as he is most days) checking us out.

*waves at pelty* Have a word and sort it it out mate.

Even the Indy 500.

Does that mean I have to give up chips?

Gutless. Spineless. Coward.

I'm calling you out General Charles C. Krulak.

I know you read this board.

You're boss isn't man enough to communicate.

Are you man enough?

I repeat: Gutless. Spineless. Coward.

Any reply?

[ChicagoLion]

Krulak and his puppet master have been shown up for what they are.
They won't be communicating with the fans anytime soon.
They are now in full retreat without the dignity or ability to raise themselves for any skirmish or to face the situation they have created.
These are the sort of people that only come on to the battlefield when fighting is over to shoot the wounded.
Cowards.

Well said, apart from the bit about the General, I dont care where he is, the further away the better. I don't think I could bare hearing more worthless platitudes. Nothing personal in that.

Have to disagree, I have far more respect for the General than I'll ever have for Lerner. I actually think he's a great leader thrown into a circus that he felt through loyalty to oblige. I don't know what happened but maybe Lerner's father spent too much time traveling, building up his business empire than he spent at home and Lerner needs that masculine crutch that is the General.

The General's only real problem is he knew next to nothing about football. He tried as much as any novice to understand but in the end his military record didn't mean anything to passionate football fans. I can't blame him for that. He's been Lerner's babysitter (due to loyalty to his father) for far too long.

Feel free to slag him off but at least he had a pair of balls. Lerner is as Paulie said, a man-baby. He's full of good intentions but hasn't a fucking clue when it comes to real life, as passionate of the Villa as he may be. He sadly lives in the world he created.

[Louzie0]

Agree with you, RCFail, about General Kulak.
