There is nothing good about the championship we'll be the laughing stock of that division after not long. Every team will be coming for us as we're the new 'big boys' in the league. Just this morning lambert has come out and said that villa can't compete with stoke and Newcastle anymore in the transfer market are you **** kidding me? Why people are accepting that relegation is gonna be not that bad and not trying to drive Lerner out is beyond me. The premier league is where all the big boys play. In 2 or 3 seasons when albrighton Gardner weimann etc.... Are scoring all around them in the championship in will swoop teams like stoke, Cardiff, Swansea, Norwich and take them off us for pittance. Lerner is a billionaire a **** billionaire and he has sent us packing to the championship with a shit team and an even shitter manager. I can't believe what I'm reading lately on this forum people accepting that well be in championship for maybe years just take a leaf from Blackburn fans still protesting to get their owners out. We're just gonna lie down now and watch villa burn and Lerner ruin us that's what people seem to accept

Still people defending lambert. Is randy Lerner telling him to play this stupid 3-5-2 tactic ? No Did Lerner tell him to leave weimann and gabbi on the bench Tuesday night when after 10 minutes you could see we were ****? No. Did Lerner tell him to sign the absolute tripe he has signed most notably the awful awful joe Bennett ? Maybe but I would think he's more than 50 percent at fault for those shit signings. Lambert is a shit manager who over achieved at Norwich and reality has set into his career now at villa. I'm just wondering when will people stop standing up for him? After the everton defeat? West ham? Arsenal? United? What if we don't win another game all season ? Lambert is the manger lamberts made sit choices stop defending him he's shit. Also Lerner is a bigger prick and Faulkner is the biggest prick of all

Here's a theory. Paul lamberts bizarre team selections like Newcastle before he brought weimann and agbonlahor on at half time is all too common this season. He seems to be doing exactly what Mcleish was doing last year playing the shittest team he could despite having other players on the bench. Also his shit tactics that continue not to work and his lower league signings. Maybe lambert wants to be sacked? Maybe when Lerner came knocking lambert thought 'well heres my chance to go get a big pay off in less than a year like Mcleish as long as I do the same stupid things as him I'm bound to get the sack and it's not like anther team won't come in for me after that'. I think lamberts a dick. I realise this is not likely as he wouldn't have left Norwich for villa just to get a big pay off or would he? Anyways no matter what I think the fans have lost faith in him and now players like andi weimann are beginning to come out and say his tactics are shit. I don't think he's got long left at all.

Thank you for giving me the best laugh I've had since before Christmas

I'm not so sure n zog will leave he's on big enough wages who's gonna take him? All depends on what these idiots in charge do next god knows what Lerner will do and if lamberts allowed continue at the helm after relegating us then he might bring in worse players than he did already

Right there with you. I genuinely have accepted relegation. I as many other fans blinded by love and faith for the club still have that 2% hope that we can string a few wins together and climb but it ain't gong to happen we WILL finish rock bottom and will be down in the same space of time wolves went last year, by Easter it will all be over. There's not gonna be a miracle it's over it's been coming since Milner was sold and o neill walked I never thought we'd fall this fast but we have. It doesn't matter who's to blame the list is endless but reality check here we ain't gonna get 5-6 more wins that's living in a dream world no more.

My point exactly

Nope I want him and lambert gone now I have since he appointed Mcleish now he has gone a step further and relegated this great club

But that was his original plan he bullshited his way in here when he had loads of money then the credit crunch and divorce hit him and this plan went out the window as did his plans for villa. He even conned us into believing he cared about the club that he was a true villa fan by getting a villa tattoo on his ankle has anybody ever seen that tattoo?

O'Leary's Leeds never finished outside of the top five, but following their defeat in the UEFA Champions League 2001 semi-final against Valencia their fortunes began to change. Under chairman Peter Ridsdale, Leeds had taken out large loans against the prospect of the share of the TV rights and sponsorship revenues that come with UEFA Champions League qualification and any subsequent progress in the competition. Leeds signed Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler and Seth Johnson for large fees and big wages. However, Leeds narrowly failed to qualify for the Champions League losing out to 4th place to Newcastle United, and as a consequence did not receive enough income to repay the loans. The first indication that the club was in financial trouble was the sale of Rio Ferdinand to Manchester United for approximately £30 million. Ridsdale and O'Leary publicly fell out over the sale, and O'Leary was sacked and replaced by former England manager Terry Venables. Leeds performed badly under Venables, and other players were sold to repay the loans, including Jonathan Woodgate, who Ridsdale had promised Venables would not be sold. Other star players such as Lee Bowyer, Nigel Martyn, Robbie Fowler, Robbie Keane and Harry Kewell were also sold over time, with Kewell's departure under rather acrimonious circumstances. With tensions mounted between Ridsdale and Venables, as the team was still underachieving given the quality of players remaining and star player that had left. Venables chose to release the likes of Leeds' star players Olivier Dacourt and David Batty in the years prior. After a string of poor results and being in the bottom half of the table, Venables was sacked and replaced by Peter Reid. During this time Ridsdale had resigned from the Leeds board, and was replaced by existing non-executive director Professor John McKenzie. At this time Leeds were in danger of relegation, but managed to avoid the drop in the penultimate game of the season. Reid was given a permanent contract at Leeds the following summer. Due to still being in financial torment players were sales and lack of funds meant they failed to land targets Paolo Di Canio, Patrik Berger and Kléberson. However, Reid brought in 8 players on loan which was not a success, with players such as Roque Júnior failing to live up to their reputations. An unsuccessful start to the 2003–04 season saw Peter Reid dismissed. Leeds were in turmoil after poor performances and restlessness from the club, Eddie Gray took over as caretaker manager until the end of the season. An insolvency specialist, Gerald Krasner, led a consortium of local businessmen which took over Leeds and under his chairmanship oversaw the sale of the clubs' assets, including senior and emerging youth players of any value. As the majority of the squad was sold, despite Gray's efforts as he was largely perceived blameless for Leeds' performance and relegation during the 2003–04 season, meaning their first out of the top flight after 14 years. Following relegation, Gray's reign as caretaker manager was ended, and the then assistant manager Kevin Blackwell was appointed manager, his first managerial job in football. A mass exodus ensued as most of the remaining players were sold or released on free transfers to further reduce the high wage bill. Key players such as Mark Viduka, Dominic Matteo, Paul Robinson, Alan Smith and James Milner were all sold for relatively reduced fees. Blackwell was forced to rebuild almost the entire squad through free transfers. Leeds were eventually forced to sell both their training ground for £4.2 million, and their stadium in the autumn of 2004.[19][20] The board finally sold the club to Ken Bates for £10 million.[21] Blackwell stabilised the team by signing players on free transfers and low wages with Leeds finishing the 2004–05 season mid-table in the Championship. At the end of that season defender Lucas Radebe retired after a series of injuries and promising young player Aaron Lennon joined Tottenham Hotspur. In the 2005–06 season Leeds finished in the top 6 and made the play-off final, after being in the top 3 for most of the season with Leeds' form drastically dipped in the last quarter of the season. The 2006–07 season started badly with Leeds conceding late goals in several matches, and in September 2006, Blackwell's contract as manager of Leeds United was terminated. Leeds hired John Carver as caretaker manager but his spell was not a success and he was relieved of his duties with Dennis Wise being eventually installed as his replacement after a month without a permanent manager. Defender Matt Kilgallon left in January to join Sheffield United, and Wise was unable to lift the team out of the relegation zone for much of the season, despite bringing a number of experienced loan players and free transfers on short term deals into the squad. With relegation virtually assured, Leeds entered a Company Voluntary Arrangement (administration) on 4 May 2007, thus incurring a league imposed 10-point deduction which officially relegated the club to the third tier of English football.[22][23] The relegation was the lowest point in the club's history, as Leeds United had never played any lower than the second tier of English football. The summer saw players such as David Healy and Robbie Blake leave, whilst long serving Gary Kelly retired after the relegation. Leeds, as they had after Premiership relegation three years previously, were forced to build a squad almost totally from scratch; with the future of the club uncertain Leeds could not sign any players until a few days before the opening game of the season against Tranmere Rovers. It's really scary the similarities between Leeds and us. *Gambled and missed out on champions league by 1 spot * sold any players of worth to constantly slash wage bill * David o Leary * relegation We could potentially be the next Leeds. In 5-10 years time people could be saying god look at Aston villa where did it all go wrong for them

I know and it's not fair

Mate you gotta accept that no matter who we could have signed today we ain't staying up look at the state of us the back 4 are afraid to do anything, the managers shit, the chairmans a dick head. We would of had to spend 50 million today to stand a chance in staying up just start accepting it now because you'll save yourself a lot of heart ache for rest of season. We can beat Wigan Southampton or Newcastle at home we can beat fulham west ham west brom away even after been 2 up were doomed it's over we're worse than wolves last year. I know it's not fair were all feeling same way but we can't do anything about it only hope there's major developments in summer and we come back up

It could be any of the other 18 teams in the league but I'd bet 1 million dollars that it ain't villa more than likely everton stoke or arsenal

No you get to kick Barry bannan in the bare arse as hard as you can with a wing tip shoe please make it very hard

He's Tom b Tom beslers brother goes to school with lerners children. He's only 12 but he's promising and the need someone to play pattie cake with Bennett while the rest of team practice corners
