Randy Lerner's Farewell ramble

[auntiesledd]

A chocolate teapot writes.

Goodbye & good riddance. Tosser.

I'm going to miss the missives...

Do you think we can persuade him to write a regular column in the programme?

The column could be called Witton Wibble.

If nothing else, Lerner's consistent in his bizarre ramblings. I guess he knows what he's trying to say, even if no one else does.

Anyway, I don't have any grievance's with him, he tried, he failed & lost a load of money in the process. We had a few great days but an awful lot of shite for the best part of 4 years. Because he was genuine, he was cut an awful lot of slack. I doubt the fans will be so generous in future.

until details of the sale appear in the accounts we don't know how much he lost or made. Due to the abundant evidence of him being a shit businessman since he rocked up at VP, it's likely he made a massive loss. He's clearly a mentalist but he's gone thank fuck. Hopefully 'Dr Xia' won't bring an even bigger 'big top' to set up on the pitch. Frankly, I've no idea. Know nothing about the bloke, I can only hope. That's not great, but at least I have it.

I just wish I'd been reading that farewell statement a year ago.

[Stirchley Villain]

I was disappointed I didn't get to see what happened to the Shimmonites...

Sounds like Tony wants to make the ground bigger and use extra revenue to buy players. Doesn't sound too great does it. Walk before we can run perhaps?

To extend the ground you need to be confident you can fill the ground. For that you need a successful team. Randy Lerner acknowledged that so Mr Xia knows it too I imagine.

[Tony Erdington]

Bye Randy, and thanks for all the fish.

[Des Little]

No mention of the African Car Reverser.  Short memories, some folk.

[Villa in Denmark]

Bye Randy, and thanks for all the fish.

We apologise for the inconvenience.

Thanks Randy, I feel romantically nourished now I've read that.

[Cleybrooke]

Thing is, I really believe he had the very best of intentions for Aston Villa. He wasn't football club trader out to suck the cash out. How many other clubs have gone through owners that have not understood the club? Leeds, Portsmouth, Reading, Nottingham Forest, Blackburn - the list goes on.

The mention of Reading is deliberate. If the characters involved in our sale are true then I worry.

Whats worse, a not very astute billionaire who really wants the club to succeed (and have nice mosaic) but doesn't know how or shadowy characters that are out to take as much cash as possible out the club...

[Mortimer's Bear]

I miss him.

[DB]

I miss him.

Oh Randy well,
You came and you gave without taking,
But we sent you away.
Oh, Randy...etc.

[not3bad]

We haven't won any matches since the new guy took over. Randy's not seeming so bad now!
