How can you know that 'every other decent manager' turned us down if we only asked about two decent managers?How do you know we didn't? I'm not naive in believing every bit of PR hype the club spouts. In the same way, how do you know anything about decent managers having turned us down?There was rumours Benetiz turned us down. I heard a journalist on 5 Live say that he knew for a fact Benetiz wanted the Villa job and even went for an interview. The club showed him what kind of budget he'd receive and he laughed and got up and walked out. Others rumours about Moyes turning us down as well. Okay these are only rumours, but considering the type of rubbish we've (mainly) signed for the last 6 years I tend to believe them. Look if you want to believe we've just been unlucky for the last 6 seasons then you're very much entitled to that view. I certainly don't, and my finger of blame is firmly pointed at Randy Lerner. Benitez and Moyes aren't "any other decent manager"And what is this horse shit about believing we've been unlucky? Who the fuck even said that?I don't know why you're even going on about Lerner over and over like people don't think he's a massive problem. What you don't seem to get is that there seem to be a lot of other problems, all of which, if we managed to fix them, would at least improve us.TH=here's no point even whining about him. He wants to go, but he can't, because nobody wants to buy us. That can't be changed.

Do you really need to be so aggressive?
Just got in. I have never been so down in my life about the Villa as I am now. I am going to say nothing about the match other than I thought Ayew was good. Overall it's a very sad sad situation. Please someone wake me up and tell be its a nightmare ..,,,,
I feel for everyone who has gone down today and everyone with STs. Deserve a lot better than this shit. 10 games 8 losses. Just awful.

Oh and Swansea were shit. Add that to Sunderland and Stoke, and we got 1 point from home games against three wank sides. I wasn't at the Bitters game so can't say how shit they were.
