Randy Lerner's Farewell ramble

[MillerBall]

Comments that are about as "romantically nourishing" as a brand new house brick.

Perhaps Randy should have gone on the "Grand Designs" T.V. architecture and property show or even better
"Location, Location, Location" on the basis that our defenders, midfield and attackers were never in the right location during the 2015/16 season.

I think Randolph got seriously muddled and thought that Doug was selling him Aston Hall and not Aston Villa.

Its very much in the style of a Nostradamus quatrain.
I like it.

I'm going to miss the missives...

His statement reminds me of Captain Blackadder sat with underpants on his head and pencils up his nose ... WIBBLE !

Completely and utterly insane.

I have been rather busy in recent weeks both work and personal so have not been as active and avid as prior times on this site.

Still, I had to check this was on the Official website to check this wasn't some sort of obscure, clever spoof by one of the more creative H&V minds.

It's more Mad King George III in Blackadder for me. Penguin.

One thing about it seems to suggest he was over here negotiating with Dr Tone face to face.

"It is here that the agreement I wish to announce with Tony Xia ties into my short narrative: Tony has built his career around infrastructure. He is certainly a hugely successful businessman but importantly for me he is passionate about architecture, site design and planning. His commitment to invest in the squad, and leadership at Bodymoor Heath was expressed early on but as we visited together, and had some unrushed time to discuss his plans, Tony's excitement to develop Villa Park shone through. I remain convinced that this is a crucial part of the Club's future as it provides a critical, long-term second source of revenue and therefore sustainability for the Club from which squad-funding can potentially come."

Suprised we hadn't heard he was here if that was true and puts the Mail's "Hollis in China" quotes into doubt.  Also suggests Randy had a far greater role in the sale than we would (like to?) believe!

He had the best intentions, and as others have said, not least with Acorns

He so obviously lost interest and so farewell to him.

But Steve Hollis deserves our respect for driving this through, which in normal circumstances would be difficult, but from the outside it hasnt looked straightforward.

I wish Steve all the best.

He succeeded where the Bank of America failed.

Do you think Randy sees the irony of the title he uses, given that much of Robert Grave's homonymous autobiography is spent describing the devastation of the First World War?

I don't do rambles. Too much fresh air and walking. Can we send him off with a pub crawl instead ?
