My god.
We have to be grateful for what Lerner has done?
For what? Running the clubs finances in an appalling manner? Hiring Mcleish? Seeing us drop down the league?
He's spent some money. That's what football owners are meant to do. If he wasn't prepared to do that then he shouldn't have purchased the club.
so you want us to do a leeds and get royally ****? The finances were messed up, now he is correcting it, have some patience! why is it all now now now?
how many oil rich owners do you think there are out there? how many people are there in the world with enough money to spend 200m on a club and then invest another 100m on players...

Lerner has done more than enough for this club
Yeah the hiring of McLeish was great, nearly got us relegated.
but at least he had the balls to admit his mistake and take action, bringing in the fans favourite in to replace him.
The finances were ****, really ****, so he has to put a stop to it. a couplöe more years and he will try it again, if he doesnt thats when ill get annoyed, but it takes time!

Of course we have money.
Lerner is rich, he has just gained $1 billion and our wage bill is at a fairly low level.
For what ever reason, we are not prepared to spend a decent amount of money on improving an incredibly weak squad.
Lerner might be rich but the club isnt. He doesnt have to spend millions of his own money just so he can please some gobshite on the internet. The money he got from the Browns is his money not Villa's money.
The sense of entitlement among people here is amazing.
THIS!
Lerner has done more than enough for this club with the hundereds of millions he has put into the club, some people are really ungreatful. Why dont you spunk all of your money over and over again and get no results, a bt of perspective jesus.

Pete Colley@petecolley
Paul Lambert denies any interest in Clinton Dempsey...........
If i had a bid accepted for an in demand player, i wouldnt let the whole country (including opposing clubs) know about it!

14 hours left. All in all very concerned we have added no DCM, no midfield creativity and not strengthened the attack. & yes here we are on the final day scrapping it out with the west hams, QPRs and Stokes of this world.
Cant expect to be anywhere else right now, we are where we deserve to be. Our stock is at an all time low, but it will rise again

I don't ever cheer when Bent scores because my family's from Ireland and he's English.

Pretty sure Mat Kendrick said that he thought we were in negotiations for players but he had no idea who.
could he be anymore vague? LOL

when warnock was at blackburn he was a great player, very often played CM & LM. I dont think LB was ever his real position there. I always remember how much of a threat he was against us, he even ran the game against us at home one year and got the winner. I think he is worth keeping hold of, when our LM isnt performing, id push him up there and use Erik or Edna as LB. N'Zogs favourite position is RM, he stated this once, so if Albie isnt performing id put N'zog on the right & Warnock on the LM... but what do i know!
-
yes same you you guys, but i dont think that us fans expect too much, just no relegation battle, and some more positive football and we will be laughing. Just want to see us heading in the right direction, even if its not fast...

aint gona happen but would welcome Milly back with open arms, & legs....

Aparently we have made a bid ofr Yoan Gouffran... not bad to be honest, would prefer Sinclair though (Twitter Villa_Lobby)
Gouffran was supposed to be a huge talent a 18 months ago but hasnt performed as expected. He is in the Ben Arfa mould. if we took him maybe he would turn out just as good! we can hope, its worth taking a punt on him IMO.

He trusted MON without really knowing how to manage a football club. He invested in the trainging ground, Villa park, the history of the club. He was/is a true fan, even though he might not be the most astute football owner.
He made some bad decidions by bringing in Houllier & AMC, and i think that if Houllier hadnt been taken ill again he would have taken us forward back into the top 7/8. but as it happened he got ill, and he wasted another summer getting in AMC - the cheap and easy option. He realised this was a mistake and fixed it.
He has lost millions of pounds through both his fault & that of whoever was managing the wages/fees, weather it be MON , PF, himself, someone **** up. They took a gamble by spending big and on getting into the top 4, didnt work and now they have to rebuild.
If you are not greatful that he took to the challenge on of making us into title challengers, but fell short, then so be it. But i am, and i and very greatful to what he has done to the club. The revenues are up, the groud has never looked better, and in a few years we will be back having another go and the fans who left under AMC will be back.
thats all i have to say, enjoy the rest of your day.
