Yeah, I'd agree with that but that actually makes it even worse though. The transfer committee thought we didn't need a right back and that all we needed to replace Ron Vlaar was a player who has barely played at centre half and a prospect from Liverpool. I'm really glad we signed Amavi but in many ways we needed a player like him for right back more than we did left back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GENTLEMAN Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 It is time for Lerner to show some leadership, attend some games and be more visible around the club - at least pretend that he cares about the club. It may help us in some way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very good read about our finances but disproves the myth peddled by some Lerner has been bleeding us dry to cover his losses. Still don't let the facts get in the way of your opinion/own agenda http://swissramble.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/aston-villa-lost-in-supermarket.html?m=1 "dismal performance off the pitch with the club bleeding money through some hefty losses, financed by the American owner Randy Lerner pumping vast sums of money into Aston Villa" Edited November 30, 2015 by thabucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) Net spend vs losses xFFP=money available. Read the above report.? Not defending him but to say he has been bleeding us dry is just wrong. I agree though we are where we are because he slammed the brakes on. However we didn't have a lot of choice due to FFP and could sustain losses like we were season upon season Edited November 30, 2015 by thabucks 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not defending him but to say he has been bleeding us dry is just wrong. Yup. Randy isn't taking money out of the club. Well, as far as we're aware he's not. The next set of accounts will be interesting. If he has now tried to repay himself for all the money he's lost whilst running the club at the bare minimum, then I imagine the fans will feel very differently towards Lerner and it could get quite nasty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I just get so angry thinking about how this **** loon has mismanaged my club that we are now behind the likes of Leicester , Southampton, Swansea, Stoke, Crystal **** Palace, West Brom , West Ham and possibly Watford in terms of development, and chances of staying in this league. Lerner you absolute **** word removed shitbag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villarocker Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Richard, why don't you say what you feel mate . To be fair to you Rich, you saw through Charles Krulak's spin all along, or at least it seemed that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 And that is why this total word removed clearing in the woods is worse than Ellis. Under him we may have not been able to compete with Manure and Plop, we may have missed the opportunity to be Arsenal , we may have been relegated but even when we were relegated we had a great chance of coming back and we did and we never , never fell behind the clubs I have mentioned above.

Maybe you should have a look at the league table for 85/6 & 86/7 & 87/8 & 88/9 where we finished behind the clubs mentioned and other similar smaller clubs - wimbledon, watford, Oxford, QPR, West Ham, Southampton, Luton, Coventry, Norwich, Forest, Sheff Wed., charlton, Millwall.... The point of me pointing this out is not to be pedantic, and not to dismiss the anger, but to say that things are not quite as they might seem. It's always been the case that bigger clubs when they fall will have smaller clubs ahead of them and it will always seem (and be the case) that they will have fallen behind the smaller clubs. None of that is to dismiss the utter mess that's been made of things, or the behaviours of the past few years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadly did not stop me making my son a Villa fan nor should our present so called custodian stop you both making the right choice that I am sure when the time comes you will! I tried to make my son a Villa fan. I had him sat on my knee as a baby when we beat Manu at old Trafford (apart from a brief gabby related moment when I jumped up too fast). His first villa park game was when we last beat man city and that was an awesome day. I gave him my scarf that day to remember it by. He is Barcelona fan today It's the only reason I had second kid 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
