My Wife's the boss I just do what she says

Due to the incredible complexities of our work structure I've got three bosses at work.

None of whom think it's funny when they're squabbling over what's top of priority list (which is never what they say it is) and I point out that I've actually got 4 bosses and the only that can actually get me to do anything is the one we don't share an office with.

This would be very worrying if there weren't Five Guys Burgers posts to get distracted by.

What a fucking mess.  Just when you think we're making positive moves it goes tits up.  I dread what state the board will be in in a week or twos time.  What state we will be in next season I dare not think about.

Something will happen, it has too. No way a new board will happen under Lerner. Hunch, Randy will be gone.

This whole episode is spoiling my enjoyment of this site.  I derive hours of pleasure reading what is posted in the various threads.  I learn things that I didn't know, I get laughs, I see the rows and bickering but, I know that we are all Villa fans and want the best for our club.  This whole sorry mess is making me consider giving it a break until something less depressing begins to happen.  I won't because I'm with kindred spirits but, I really, really feel like it.

What worries me is as time passes, the asking price drops, and we could very feasibly end up with a real dickend mercenary,
50 million aint a massive amount of money

I wouldn't be surprised if the only person remaining at senior management level by the end of the month is Paddy Riley.

We all have people like him in our organisations. Absolutely hopeless at their job, a totally liability but seeming to have the confidence of the boss (in this case, Lerner). Just think of the damage he can do whilst we await the appointment of the new board.

Would it be nice if we could get all of them.

Martin O'Neill, Alex McLeish, Gerald Houllier, Paul Lambert, Tim Sherwood, Remi Garde, Melvyn King, David Bernstein, Tom Fox get together and do a massive press conference together and reveal the world about working for Randy Lerner. Then Randy Lerner wouldn't be able to lawyer up as he can't shut up 9 people that easily. Let hope there is a take over as we need it.

I like it.

Like when the House of Commons turned on Neville Chamberlain during the Norway debate in May 1940, leading to his resignation - maybe with Martin O'Neill playing the role of Leo Amery quoting Cromwell, "You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go"?

Or like in the first series of Big Brother when Craig led the other housemates in confronting Nasty Nick?
