I must say, if ever there was a time to indulge some pious outrage I think  this may be it.

I know I'm not alone in this but, for the first time in my life I'm very, very frightened about the future existence of the Villa.  Terrible, terrible times.
My thoughts exactly dave.


WTF is going on?

Wow, just when I thought this season couldn't get any worse, back comes Lerner with another massive kick in the swingers.

 I doubt I have anything further to add to the many valid worries raised previously on this thread, but I dread to think of the kind of vultures that might be tempted out by such a slash to the asking price.

Stiff upper lip and all that.
Nah, fuck that.

You are quite right TV that Lerner and Aston Villa FC will be required reading at the LSE in years to come.

What is so intriguing is that if asset strippers had bought the club off Doug Ellis we would probably be in better shape than we are today. Lerner has behaved like a man desperate to ruin himself.  Like a boy scout cutting off his own testicles so he can join the girl guides.

Thanks for finding a way to give me a smile.

Perhaps they just really, really didn't like the changes to the badge.

it seems to me that Lerner is not a very honourable man.
Not only has he shafted Remi, the fans and the club, it looks like he has shafted 2 blokes whose appointment he would have approved only a few short weeks ago.

What exactly is the pitch invasion meant to achieve, barring a few people being able to get their picture taken on the pitch and the potential for a points deduction?

Dunno if this has already been shared but the wording of Bernsteins statement smacks of despair - nice to know he feels our point of view.

Pat Murphy hinted at there being a buyer in place but they are getting fed up with Lerner's dithering, hence the reason Hollis is dealing with the buyers.  Unless I mis-heard him. Lerner has sacked Merrill Lynch. Moyes would like talks about the job but wasn't impressed with Paddy Reilly when Sherwood was sacked and Reilly went to talk to him then.

Meanwhile, on Talksport, Stan Collywobble is giving it large about how he would save the club and build an institution based on his recommendations.

Not sure that a points deduction is much of a deterrent!
