Yes! I've never said anything different. Doesn't make me believe he was as bad as Lerner was though.

You've never mentioned it before, but it's a start. Now - finishing below Halifax in the league. Good, or bad?

Very bad, Dave, but never have we been as humiliated as we've been since 2010. We've become a laughing stock thanks to old Randy.

And we were probably a laughing stock in 1987 too.

Nah. No matter how much you try and convince yourself otherwise 1987 was nothing, absolutely nothing compared to the humiliations of 2010 onwards.
You know deep down I'm sure you don't even believe that yourself. You're just trying to save face because you got it so so wrong so many times regarding our decline under Lerner.

What exactly did i get wrong?

Surely the humiliations since 2010 look worse than 1987 because of the amplification that is mass media coverage and social meeeeeja.

Whereas dropping into division three, 1987 & all that and trying to fob off out of date food to Romanian orphans was all a barrel of laughs.

1987 feels like a walk in the park compared to 2010 onwards.

Yes, getting beat 3-0 at home by Small Heath with their supporters celebrating on the pitch and watching a 0-0 draw with 8,455 others was sheer poetry.

I know, I was there as well. I was also there from 2010 onwards too. I won't frighten anyone by talking about results from this era though. Once was enough.

So, what about the decline prior to 1987, was all that a barrel of laughs for you after winning the European Cup?

Good point. Nobody really cared when we went down in 1987 except our 15,000 or so regulars. The world knew about it last year.

We became a laughing stock when Ellis dismantled the kings of Europe, got rid of any trace of it from around the ground, shat on Tony Barton, appointed the managing equivalent of Poundland and gladly watched us burn with Billy McBingo. The only thing Ellis wasn't, is the fool that Randy was. Both a pair of twats, both to blame for different things. However, for me, Ellis was for Ellis and Ellis alone. What kind of ****** names a stand after himself and then passes it off as a present from the Board that he chairs? Complete ******.

Just about everything! You backed the club on practically every bit of bullshit they threw at us for years from "young and hungry" to the moneyball shit. The only time you saw anything coming was when it hit you right between the eyes.
Talk about not seeing the wood for the trees!

So all those unwanted club records smashed were just the media making them up?

[PeterWithesShin]

You come across there like you're enjoying gloating and being right that we're so shit while others remained more optimistic. Which doesn't come across well.

[kippaxvilla2]

I don't think that's what I said to be fair.

Absolutely. Just like 1987 was a blip and division three never happened.

From the best team in European football to relegation fodder inside 4 years was just a blip?

Lerner was well intentioned but clueless, Doug had the football smarts but was always driven by self interest. Look ahead never back.

That's absolute bollocks. I was as pissed off as anyone, and still pissed off seeing us festering in the Championship. Don't try and make out I'm enjoying Villa in the lower leagues. That's a snide thing to say and you know it.

'87 was a blip, and who said Div 3 never happened?
