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 Is his English team Villa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Garde: "Randy, I will need 20 million pounds to spend in January." Lerner: "10 million pounds, what do you need 5 million pounds for?" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Unlucky Randy, I bet we were next in line for their £265 Million. Fascinating that there is money out there, double what we are asking and for just a 13% share of Man City. Guess we must be doing something wrong.

BOF Posted December 1, 2015 Moderator Share Posted December 1, 2015 There's something wrong with the system or the format when spending half of the cash on owning the entirety of your own Premier League club is less desireable than having a small piece of a bigger pie. I know that being associated with a winning brand is a huge part of it, but they must have looked at us and the current restrictions around football investment and decided it's just too difficult to do. That's where you have a problem - assuming they even want to fix that problem - which they probably don't. Haves and have nots and all that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This buys you one half of a good player - is it a surprise our team has gotten worse each year? Edited December 1, 2015 by mikeyjavfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I can't get what his game is, I'm absolutely certain he will lose a lot more if we go down than what would have been a cumulative total of realistic year on year investment. Probably has already lost more, I guess there is no account for stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do people continue to make this excuse for Randy? All we should care about is that he has invested 6million a year in a team that is abysmal and is in line to break the lowest pts tally in prem league history. That and Villa have lost a generation of new supporters with the dross we have been serving up with the 6 mill spend over the past years!

Randy was and still is the worst thing to ever happen to this club! But ignoring what he has spent is a bit.... stupid? No one is using it as an excuse. It's fact. You can't say Randy Lerner is tight for only spending £6m a year on players, when he's spent/lost over £100m through running the club. It's contradictory. If you choose to ignore the fact that he has spent loads of money on Villa to suit your argument then go ahead. I'm not saying he's spent it well or anything, but he has spent it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not ignoring it. In the same case, you cant make it out he spends loads of money, when he has spent nothing for years. He cant live off his spending nearly 10 years ago for the way he has run the club the past 6. He shouldnt be getting any sympathy or grace for this.
