Good piece. This line about Lerner, with reference to the Cleveland Browns, should be his epitaph:“He wasn’t a good owner by any means, but he wasn’t a lucky one, either.”

Lerner has made some poor decisions but my god this club has never caught a break the past few years.
Rather annoyingly, Troy Deeney has now gone up a bit in my estimation. Even more so as it's upset some of the knuckledraggers.
Quote from: Steve R on April 16, 2016, 09:50:54 PMi can see what Lescott is trying to say, he is trying to say something positive, he just isn't saying it very well. His mistake is not appreciating that this is not the time to draw attention to yourself.It is all very well Collymore getting uppity about it all, at least Lescott is doing something to meet his contractual obligations.Is he? What's that then?

You are without a doubt the worst employee of BBC sport ever and you are a disgrace to its name. Lucky for for you the BBC does not sack incompetents like you but be under no illusions we know the score. You are a fucking imbecile. Now FUCK OFF AWAY FROM MY CLUB. Hopefully when we come back up you will have been retired or packed off to cover the fucking basketball or something equally shit you are fit for. c***.What's he said that's so offensive to you?Years of his shitty reporting about our club have built up a nice little obssessive hatred of the bloke from me. Always wants to make the story about himself and I always pick up little snide digs at us. Several well respected fans here disagree and hold him in esteem. I accept I am in a minority, but a growing one I hope I just cant stand the man. I think he tells it as it is. Let's face it we've deserved the vast majority of criticisms that have been thrown at us these last 6 years. I agree I don't think he's Villa hating at all. I also think the personal abuse is a bit much.

Pat Murphy's had his say, and while it's mostly sensible he does say that the players he'd keep include Clark, who he'd make captain, Rudy Gestede, and Ashley fucking Westwood. He wouldn't keep Veretout or Adama Traore, it seems. I'm expecting more of this kind of nativism, the idea that our failure is down to soft-wristed foreigners and that we need more British Blokes.[/quoAgreed Pat

Especially the "shitty" way out club has been run in the last 5 years.
