Were not going to suddenly be able to spend 50 mill though are we because of FFP?

Man City breached FFP and got a suspended slap on the wrist and told they couldn't take an extra three players into the Champions League... Why shouldn't we be able to do it if we get an oil magnate? All we need is someone with a shedload of cash who is willing to show the middle finger to UEFA and sign a cheque then they complain that we didn't abide to FFP...

They clearly aren't willing to play by the rules and UEFA don't have the balls to punish them by forcing relegation, removing championships etc (Like they did with Juventus for, ahem, CHEATING)... What Man City's owners have done with spending beyond their means and dictating football around the world with 'Sister clubs' so they could sign Frank Lampard on the free stinks of corruption...

Why can't we have some of that?

Randy Lerner... I would sacrifice him to save us from relegation... I would go Aztec on him, cut his heart out and eat it in front of his children to save us... and also because he deserves it...

If we go down I hope he loses a lot of money.

 

I then hope something happens for him to go bankrupt.

THIS!!! I couldn't care less if his nearest and dearest loved ones starved to death after he **** over our club...

I think we're going down. No manager could save us.

Couldn't agree more... I love the Villa and always will... but that Yank bastard and his determination to cut costs (when he is/was a billionaire - tight prick) and hire yes-men-rent-boys (Mcleish, Lambert et al.) did this to us...

Lerner has sent us down, Lerner refused to bankroll us, Lerner shat the bed when Man City started being bankrolled by oil money... This is all his fault... **** him... I hope he and his family starve one day...

In fairness he looked devastated coming off. I know the standard response here is he doesn't care, just like Benteke, I can tell you for certain it's not true in either case.

Should have bloody thought about that before lunging in, giving away the penalty and losing us the game then shouldn't he...

Then again, he wants out... So he doesn't give a shit about the club... He was probably only gutted because he would have to pay a fine...

Stuck up for him for far too long just because he is a Villa boy...

Now... All I can say is: **** him... He did bugger all yesterday; can't remember him touching the ball once, let alone making any positive impact on the game...

Either he needs to buck his ideas up or we should flog him to some Armenian Premier League side which is where he will find his level...

Tim sherwood will not cut his nose of to spite his face....

But Gabby will not be allowed to drift through a season with the goal return he has been offering.

I do not subscribe to the theory that he has been played out of position.....he cannot play down the middle because he doesn't score and has not got the ability to wriggle free of attention....so to some degree he is the architect of his own demise.

Gabby has been played to the side of a three......not as an out and out winger like some have suggested.

It will be interesting.....but whatever happens, there will be a change.....it's up to him to rise like a Phoenix or...........

or collapse like a flan in a cupboard...

 

Lambert wanted to be sacked.

I've thought this too...

He has had us playing so abysmally and negatively for so long; He was essentially goading the powers that be to sack him...

But the fact that he would rather see us relegated than leave of his own accord speaks volumes of the man...

 

 

it seems like he will get every penny out of us that he can 

Like all the pennies he's taken out of us so far? The guy has spent a fortune, of his own money, keeping the club solvent since he took over FFS. Yes, it's his bad management of operations that means it's cost him so much, BUT this idea that him not spending money on transfers and cutting the wage bill is doing anything other than reducing the amount of his own money it's costing him a year is a ridiculous one. Go look at the financial reports for his tenure and try to claim that he's asset stripping to line his pockets. He's not. Even during the austerity measures he's been pumping in the upper limit he's allowed to by FFP

 

Yeah, some of the criticism is ridiculous. I wonder if anyone can name one person in the history of the planet that's put more money in to AVFC than Randy Lerner?

 

As for those having a pop at him trying to sell for as much as he can, what's wrong with that? He's entitled to try and make as much money as he wants to off the sale of the club. I'm sure when you sell your home, you don't just say "Yeah mate, you can have it for £10k on the promise you do a better job maintaining it than I did".

 

Awww... Boo hoo...A multi-millionaire buys our club, gets bored and treats it like crap while we all suffer watching it... and your worried about him getting his money back...

Last time I checked, when someone sells a house, there isn't the interest and hopes of hundreds of thousands of people worldwide to consider...

Special shout out to Clark for poor defending last night. Yes, Okore made a poor decision for the first but, Clark read the danger originally and dropped off in case there was a flick on. However, what he failed to do was to get close to Jelavic quick enough to put a serious challenge in.

The second goal was scored by his man too.

I feel sorry for the defence playing behind a bunch of clueless players who never look like scoring. It must be difficult knowing that all the pressure is on you to keep a clean sheet every game in order to get a point!

Well if Clark hadn't snapped his leg.... Libor would probably have put one or two in... Alas... Clark did what he did

I care. 

 

I **** hate watching this shit but here I am on the other side of the world, waking up at a godforsaken hour of the morning, again, to put myself through it. 

Same here, I work in Bangkok and sit next to a Bluenose (what are the odds of that?!?)... I'm sick of it personally... Its not fair...

This is all Lerners fault... If he hadn't been so f**king selfish and funded MO'N and let the build continue instead of cacking his pants when Man City went on their spending spree, this would never of happened... The last 5 years would have been so much different...

Hate him... Bollocks to anyone related to the Lerner family...

 

Dodgy knee and 29, not worth the money. 

knows where the goal is, unlike Benteke, Gabby and Wiemann

 

So, Benteke, who hasnt been given any decent service, has been playing after a big injury and is clearly stuck in a rut doesn't know where the goal is?...

Agbonlahor, the clubs record scorer in the Premier league who has been playing as a winger when he is a striker and whose pace isn't being utilised properly?

and... well... yeah.... Weimann

And O'Leary called us 'fickle'... Thats putting it lightly

I have faith in Tekkers... We have been lacking in some quality service for a while, he hasn't got anybody pushing him for a place considering Kozak being out and is stuck in a bit of a rut himself...

A few new faces and a bit of fresh perspective with Gil, Sinclair and maybe, hopefully Ba and I reckon he will be causing problems for defenders and banging them in again...

I can almost hear Ciaran Clark planning his next training ground assault...

 

between delph and vlaar i think we have lost in value 20m. great business there lerner you fool

How is it Lerner's fault exactly? He can't force them to sign new deals no more than Lambert can

 

He could have carried on bankrolling us, ploughing money into the club, thereby keeping MO'N thereby keeping us exciting and competitive, thus having us Villa fans enjoy watching the football and having Villa Park bouncing... Maybe a few more decent cup runs and appearances at Wembley and in Europe...

But he didn't... and he is the chairman... The buck stops (pun unintended) with him... He didn't want to pay for quality any more, he decided that his family was more important than the fans (obviously I am biased towards us as fans... he is a billionaire after all, surely he had a few extra hundred million lying around - selfish prick), and he decided he wanted to try and get his money back instead of doing what was best for the club (selling us at cut price and trying to entice a richer, more dedicated and passionate owner to invest in us)...

Well, like I do with all our players that go to other clubs (unless they leave to play abroad), I hope he goes on to fail magnificently; I hope he cocks it up and looks out of his depth and the fans of his new club get on his back and he gets all the bad media publicity...

If you're not with us and you are still playing in England, you are against us...

Same goes for: Bosnich, Yorke, Barry, Milner, Downing et al.
Couldn't give a monkeys if they are 'professionals' and want to 'win things' or in the case of the first four, actually went on to 'win things'... I only have one loyalty and thats to the Villa...

 

If you're watching motd....just note how few goals come from slow sideways passing....

If the other team doesn't have the ball, they can't score.

I used to believe that too... Until Mellberg threw the ball to Enkleman....

Michael Oakes for me.

Toss up between him and Adam Rachel...

Gabor Kiraly was immense too though....

Dunno... You might be confusing him for Stefan Postma who is fond of huge swingers...

 

Adam Rachel

Made one sub appearance after Michael Oakes got sent off and his first job was to save a penalty against Blackburn

Was a free kick wasn't it as I'm sure Oakes got sent off for handball, great Boxing Day that was!

 

You are right there... Nonetheless... Hasn't his career blossomed since he left us?

Playing for Solihull Moors now (According to Wikipedia)

When he wakes up in the morning, Roy Keane pisses excellence

Adam Rachel

Made one sub appearance after Michael Oakes got sent off and his first job was to save a penalty against Blackburn

I still get upset thinking about Martin Laursen, the man was a demi-god sent by robo-jesus.

Proper lion was our Martin... Only with us for a short stretch but made an impression on anyone that loves the Villa... If only, by some bending of the time-space continuum, he and McGrath could have been in the same team together... What a defense that would have been!

Can someone make a cardboard cutout of Roy Keanes beard and print out enough copies to hand around Villa Park for the game this weekend?
Aside from winning of course; that would literally make my day the best ever if I were to switch the computer on to watch the game from here in Thailand and see the entire Holte End wearing Keano style beards

But Millwall isnt in Burmondsey... So really, going back to the original post, their name doesnt relate to their geographical location
