Relegated

[West Derby Villan]

Fuck you fuckin fuckin fuckers....just fuck off

[brontebilly]

ive been drinking whiskey but.....

AVFC will never die, too many people care about this institution

lets not even focus on the absolute shower of c*nts who have disgraced themselves and the shirt over the last five years

lets not even focus on Lerner and his merry bunch of sh*t smelling sycophants

if AVFC get back up next season, those involved no matter what will always be held in complete respect by me and I'm sure the majority of all Villa fans

AVFC til I die, forever

Sorry for my language but today is an emotional day. (spoilered Pat Murphy abuse)

Spoiler for Hiden:

Pat Murphy you can FUCK OFF you pompous villa hating c***. 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.

What?

I've no problem with Pat Murphy at all.

He tells it as it is and I respect his opinion on most things. Especially the "shitty" way out club has been run in the last 5 years.

Pat Murphy is wa*king himself silly thinking about our relegation. He is totally biased against us. He doesn't miss a chance to have a dig (which, to be fair, hasn't been difficult over the last few years). The only time he cut us slack was when his bestie Martin was in charge.

Dear Randy and team, to be relegated having spent so much money is quite an achievement - it could have been accomplished far more economically. You utter, clueless, incompetent simpletons.

Fair play to burley there.

I really never thought I'd see this day to be honest

[Chris Smith]

We deserve this. We have been flirting with it for years and shown neither sufficient will nor the appropriate effort to change it, always relying on others being just that little bit worse. If this is what has been needed to shake the club from its half arsed approach then some good might come from it.

I look at the restructuring that has taken place at senior management level and see some slight cause for optimism but that has to be put into the context of it being nothing more than a sketch of an idea at the moment. I need to see some practical improvement of the football side - the manager and players - for me to take it as any more than that.

If you'd have told me this a few years ago I'd agree with you but the way we've been run since 2010 is beyond ridiculous and it's been on the cards since then. I think we've been lucky to last this long, and boy have we deserved this relegation.

I felt little emotion about it as opposed to last time around. Perhaps its because I am not in Brum anymore, perhaps its the passing of time, but I think perhaps it because I accepted it a long long time ago. I look now to next season and how long it will take us to fix this monumental clusterf**k we have created for ourselves.
Last time around, I had confidence that we were a big fish in a small pond and once SGT was announced I was utterly convinced we would bounce back; this time I am so full of doubts as the task seems so insurmountable at this moment.

Down to 1 bloke the way he has run the club, clueless chump. With him still there I don't have much confidence we will come back up. Yes we have new people to advise but will he listen & provide the money to tempt a manager in and buy the players needed for the Championship?...

Absolutely. What Lerner has done to this club is quite unforgivable.

Same here. Always thought he was a bit dim but fair play, the state of the modern game obviously winds him up as much as it does for many fans.

wow, considering the bloke to my knowledge has never had a connection to Villa he's extremely pasionate there,
I know he's talking about football in general at times but he's doesn't mince his words about the Villa players and board

Sounds as pissed off as we are about the game
