Out the door on 74

[VillaAlways]

The TV cameras seem to like showing random people holding the Lerner out scarves, the ones with the American flag crossed out on one end, and the Union Jack on the other, above their head. Noticed it on Saturday and again tonight.

But the point is he wants out! So those who bought these things are just wasting their money. Are they selling them in the club shop?  It could be that nobody wants to buy the club a position that WBA and Wolves also find themselves in. I think we are stuck with him and his harsh  costcutters. Its all very sad.

To be honest I'm sick of hearing, reading people saying " but he wants out" Somebody posted a brilliant analogy on here which likened the protest to pacing round a waiting room waiting for a Dr to arrive. It won't make him come any quicker but it sure as hell makes you feel better. If it can encourage Lerner to drop his price or even invest properly in the Championship then it has to be a good thing.

Human beings need to take control of their lives or they experience stress - these actions can be symbolic and have just as much effect as those that bring about concrete change - this is about us as fans doing what we have to do so we can survive this shit as it is about getting rid of the Board

Action is better than inaction.

Not sure if this has been posted, but other fan groups are trying to structure the protests so they have a tangible goal.
Whilst everyone will not agree on all the points, it is a good start.
I particularly applaud the recommendation for reduced prices for long suffering season ticket holders.

Randy said he was a custodian - would be nice to mock this somehow in the protests?

We all throw custard on the pitch?

Fits doubly with the Lerner as clown motif!

This has been covered quite a few times on Five Live this morning and covered in respect to being a protest against Lerner. I didn't think it would but well done to all concerned.
I'm still not sure it'll make a shit of difference to RL but its good to vent your spleen.

Yes, this.

It's also being reported on SSN every hour, with video of the actual protest and subsequent walk-out.

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

Is it more to do with the poor management of the club and lack of direction that people are protesting at, rather than wanting Lerner out?

Randy Lerner = poor management and lack of direction. To have the former is to have the latter. After ten years of catastrophic mismanagement, I think we can safely say this is true.

Turns out the fans do know who Tom Fox is as well judging by the chants.

[clash city rocker]

Yes we all know that Lerner wants to sell but can't.  However not facing up to his responsibility is the issue here. Turn up for games, face the music and actually look like you care and admit we are all in the shit  but at least try and do something/ anything about it. Instead he has chosen to run the other way.If your life was in danger you wouldn't want him as your last hope.

That's harder to put into song though

I mean that some on here repeatedly remind others that Randy already wants out, like it's an excuse for the way he's handles us (or not).
