Randolphs Mum has probably come to the conclusion that her son is financially incontinent; as we speak young Randy is preparing a protest flag that reads

 "No hope, no future, no more maple syrup & waffles!"


Friends have gathered outside the house proclaiming

"We want her out, Randys Mother out, she really does not understand"

"Randy is in a rut; his pocket moneys been cut"

"We want Randys mother out."

It'll be like the last scene of Don Giovanni* - the McGregor statue will turn up at Randy's house to drag him down to hell.

*I apologise for the unbelievably middle class reference.

It's more like the bit in John Adams' avant-garde work 'The Death of Klinghoffer' where a disabled man is pushed into the sea


Walnuts would like that

Ozvilla: "Whilst I agree that Lerner is the issue here,  it's getting a bit lost what and unbelievably poor job and squad Paul Lambert left us with.  Other than Randy he's the next most responsible for this mess IMO."

Sorry but the buck stops with Lerner for his catastrophic appointments and his lack of investment in the club, and if you want to blame a manager, Sherwood was worse than Lambert when it came to squad building.  Lambert was given (in his first year) £27m, a few crap players and a bomb squad, a recipe for a relegation scrap at best. Your criticism is like giving the missus £2.50 for the shopping and then complaining that your Sunday lunch is shit. At least the Delph and Benteke sales recouped the money spent on Lambert's mistakes.  Sherwood and our genius HR department, appointed by Lerner and Fox, was given a comparably better squad and £57m to spend, and unlike Lambert, couldn't even come up with a fight against relegation. In my humble opinion it was the feeble attempt at playing championship manager and the Baldric like, cunning plan of using statistics to source players, that tipped us over the edge. Now we have our worst squad for 26 years and because the players are now worthless, no £57m  to repair it!

Regarding a new owner, be careful what you wish for, very careful.
Do you honestly things could get worse than they are now?!

All this talking about Lerners mum and stuff is just pathetic.  Grow up FFS.

Yes, his ownership has turned out to be disastrous, but this sort of stuff is ridiculous.

Just how much worse can it get

Relegated in April
Job loss's
Overpaid players doing what they want - Gabby
Players sent to train with under 21's - Okore /Gabby /NZG
Board members resigning after weeks in the jobs

All this played out in the media

Unless the new owner is the chap from Leeds I can't see  how anyone could do a worse job

.


Why? his mother is rumoured to be controlling the Lerner family trust purse strings though. It was first mentioned on here last year that she told him that the club needs to be self sufficient and any money to be spent has to be generated by the club and not bankrolled from the family fortune. I think the source of this was a couple of ex players.

If someone on here wants to make fun of that, then why don't you just ignore it and let them carry on

And a couple of ex-players would know all about Lerners finances and relationship with his mum?  Come on, it's bollocks and stooping to this sort of level does nobody any credit.
