AGM - Protest
« on: January 02, 2016, 05:26:45 PM »
After yet another debacle - it is time for the fans (the only thing left good in this club) to stand up and fight given the players and the club cannot.

We need to ask questions, demand the resignation of the likes of Paddy Reilly, Almstadt and the rest of the baffoons who have bought these players to our club.

We need to form some sort of protest - they may not listen but we cannot keep taking this.

We are sleep walking into the next Leeds, Sheffield Wednesday or heaven forbid Portsmouth.

Collymore is out spoken and at times illogical but we need a figure head to lead this. We need former players backing a protest or the request for a full and frank discussion with Fox and demand answers.

We need the organisers of these forums to get together with others and get a plan out to all fans. We need a walkout during a game we need something where we show the view of the fans.

We cannot keep accepting this complete and utter disgrace from over paid players, a manager who was bought in on the cheap and an owner and his board who are full of non footballing people.

Where's this so called Chairman? How can it take so long?

We need to form a list of proping questions based on fact not anger and ones that will really make Fox and the rest squirm.

I'm sure everybody is just as pissed off as you, but I'm afraid the sad situation is that all of the above would achieve nothing.  We have an owner who wants to sell, but can't, and overall doesn't give a toss.  We're down and out, and sadly there's not a lot we can do to improve the situation.

The first question that should be asked is could the players pay for away travel for the poor suffering fans for the rest of the season.

We could at least poke fun at Lerner, that sack of crap.

We have let him off so easy over the last 3 or 4 years, and have always called for the managers head instead. Now we know that no matter who Randy puts where NOTHING changes.

Can we at least send some poo to his doorstep?

I totally agree. I wont go to another match until we have  new owners. We shouldn't just turn up and acept this shite. We're on course to finish as badly as derby and Sunderland who were both promoted teams. To fall from being a top 6 club and premier ever present is pure incompetence. The bastards in control need to feel the pressure.  Randy clearly dont care but anger needs to be vented at fox and his cronies

There is the AVST AGM at VP on 21st January with T Fox  - I intend to be there but I am not sure what the hell I will say to him that would not be some sort of spluttering, strangulated howl of despair...

Risso - I don't disagree that we have an owner who doesn't want to sell but even then I don't see other teams doing as badly as us in similar situations - WBA, teams who have come up who haven't spent much.

We have still spent decent amounts of money and enough to have at least battled against relegation. We need answers as to why we have eight points after 20 games - this cannot just be accepted.

Moyes, Pearson etc might not have kept us up but do people truly believe we would have 8 points with either in charge.

You don't always need money to succeed  - look at Watford, Leicester.

If we just accept this - we are as bad as the Club.

I agree with Loxton. Be vocal and cheer the team all we want on match day- it wont make a difference now. I'd rather us all turn up and be vocal and demonstrate our anger and frustration towards the board. We should demand Fox to resign with immediate effect. Lerner should accept his fuck up and reduce his value considerably. I also like the idea of a mass walkout- I know it will never happen, I remember the farce that was last years "protest" until the whatever minute was- I counted about 30 of us in the concourses of the North upper.

It's strange that the only thing that gets me militant is this woeful football club!

There does seem to be an air of naiive acceptance from the Villa. Supporters voicing their outrage and anger over the gross mismanagement of the club is more than warranted, for me. Lerner ultimately takes the blame, but what about those people who run Villa day to day? In my opinion it's they that need to bear the weight of scrunity.

He won't have time, he will be in his shed "building something special" I hope it's a chair and I volunteer to plug it in.

Can anyone go to the AGM or is it by specific invite.

We need people who are going as stated above to be prepared - questions can be asked.

If Fox does cancel it shows how spineless he truly is.

I'm not sure SVC is the right person to lead a protest.  For most of his time here he did a passable impersonation of the current rabble's half-arsedness. If you're gonna have an ex-Villa footballer as a figurehead, then choose somone,  erm, respected by the support
