Aston Villa legend Martin Laursen hits out at Randy Lerner08:28, 6 NOV 2015 UPDATED 08:46, 6 NOV 2015BY STEVE WOLLASTONFormer Aston Villa favourite Martin Laursen says that owner Randy Lerner has to shoulder the responsibility for the club's struggles.He admitted that if something doesn't change fast, the club will be relegated.Speaking to the BBC he said: "It hasn't been good enough this season. But it hasn't been good enough for the last three or our seasons."I think since Martin O'Neill left and Randy Lerner said that he would like to sell the club it's been very hard for Aston Villa. They are struggling big time."You need quality players to do well in the Premier League. So obviously Randy Lerner has some responsibility in all this because he hasn't invested enough in the team because he wants to sell the club."Obviously, when you sell Benteke and Delph, the two most important players from last season they are going to struggle."Yes, big time (Villa could get relegated). I think something big is going to (have to) happen if they are not going to get relegated this year."Another former player, Mark Bosnich, believes that Remi Garde is not the man to lead Villa forward.The former goalkeeper told talkSPORT: “With no disrespect to Remi, I don’t think he is the right man at the moment."I think they needed someone to come in who’s used to that situation and survival, and make sure they survive this season in the Premier League. And then bring someone like Garde in [over the summer].”

We needed somebody in who is a proper football man, like Pearson, who knows the league and knows what it is to guide a side to being bottom of the league until April. You're never going to get out of dire situation of being four points off Bournemouth by playing good attacking, organised football, where your main aim is to try and score more and concede less than the opposition.That will be Garde's biggest mistake, because he doesn't know the league and he's not English.
Why should Villa have a UK manager? For the last 100 years or so we have give more to British footballers than probably any other club. Have we not supplied the England national team with more players than anyone else?We have given young managers like Turner, Little, Gregory, Lambert and Sherwood big jobs in my life time. As well as them we have employed many other British managers while others have looked abroad. I remember Gregory fielding an entire English team once when the fashion was to shop overseas. Nobody else would have been as patient as we were while Lambert broke every unwanted record going. Sherwood's rotten form started last season and it was plainly obvious he had lost compete control and didn't have a clue what to do.While Watford, Southampton and West Ham amongst others have no good Jonny foreigners we must apoint the next useless British candidate. These bloody pundits need to look at the bigger picture and research things before they are spouting nonsense on the TV.

They're journalists plus Howard Webb anchored by James Richardson. I've been a big fan of the guardian podcast for years, because they are not afraid to have an alternative view and indeed take the piss out of the pantomime that is modern football. Whilst slightly less piss taking - after all they've paid a lot of money for the broadcasting rights - their observations are still very erudite and much more likely to ignore the usual agenda. I recommend it.I always loved Channel Four's Football Italia. James Richardson looked so cool sitting outside Italian cafes reading the Gazetta De La Sport headlines.

There was another guy on there Guiaullme sp? Someone or other who had all the stats to hand aswell? Channel 4 did really well with it, as they also did when they had the cricket before sky got it after the 2005 ashes win.
Goooooaalazzzzooooo!

I've recently re-watched lots of English, Spanish and Italian football from the 90s and Christ almighty, England was fun and chaotic but my God was it bad. Embarrassing actually.I also miss cricket on 4. They went out with a bang with that series, in spite of Mark Nicholas.
