Randy Lerner's Farewell ramble

[Chris Jameson]

Haven't read his farewell statement, any mention of a 'conscious uncoupling'?

[Exeter 77]

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

We haven't lost any either though.

 Randy! 
I remember he came and  he gave without taking oh Randy!
 Looking in his eyes , memories unrealized , sadness in his eyes how sad you made us oh Randy! 
But now we be sent you away new owner here to stay good bye Randy !
He stated beyond his time he lost the love but it's still mine
Caught up in a league of uphill climbing , as seasons pass us by , and nothing is ryhmimh good bye Randy !

Thought it was a newly discovered Oscar Wilde letter at first. However on reflection it reminds me of my misspent youth in arcades when you lost on some football game (I forget the name), and you were greeted with the message "WINNERS DON'T DO DRUGS"

[PeterWithe]

As I re-read it sounds like the ramblings of someone who has just done a line of coke.

It's that west life song Mandy !

I liked the statement.

His heart was in the right place and the first few years were great.  Ultimately far too much trust in MON and he turned the tap off too suddenly.

I'm just hoping his last act will prove to be a good one and Tony will prove to be the real deal.

Having read his farewell statement and the previous one of about a month ago I am not going to lambast him.

Why? On the basis of those badly constructed and border line incoherent statements his nearest and dearest should, in my opinion, be concerned about the state of his mental health.

Barry Manilow surely?

And that ladies and gentlemen is the generation gap.😯

When Randy mentioned the Holy Trinity in his latest missive I immediately thought of the lines in the Don Maclean song America Pie:

And the three men I admire most
The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died

But then I remembered Madonna covered the song, and I thought better of mentioning it.

That one came up on the music board.

I maintain that that wasn't a cover version. Someone recorded her at a karaoke session.

It was a bizarre statement.
I struggled to make much sense out of where he was going with it (a lot like did with the club), and it did have an element of something being 'not quite right'. Seemed like he was so glad to be out of here that he couldn't really bring himself to talk about it, and just waffled on until a suitable length statement was arrived at.

Weird end to a forgettable few years.
