Saw him play quite a few times at VP. As you say, John, he played for us in desperate times and, if. I recall right, was laid up with injury for quite a while, but I still remember him as a wholehearted and classy player.
So RIP and many sympathies to his family.
I feel like a spring chicken now.
And that's saying something as I was born in 71.

Well there is lots of improvement to cheer about the best being the team spirit. The biggest concern is when we play bad, we take no prisoners and really, really play bad.
-
My memory is a little hazy but was any of the anti Lerner posters voicing their concerns during the MON spending era?
-
Scared the **** out of me when he started to turn away from the ball before it was over the line.
Was thinking the same. But on watching the replay he would not have made it before the city defender anyway.

LOL

Well loaning then writing off, isnt the same as loaning and then suspending interest payment. Depending on the time frame of course. But given the time frame of the Lerner loans then I would suspect the suspension to be temporary and his intention was to have the business by the balls from the start.
But yeh who would complain about jam today. Isn't that why the capitalist world is so fooked up today.
I'd agree with this if I thought there was a chance of him coming out of it with a profit.
I see no jam.
The jam was the MON era.
Just to clarify, by jam I mean the 'good times' - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jam_tomorrow
But his intentions from the start have been clear. Any money must be paid back.
-
Which is why I said a few pages back that Lerner will be happy that fans like you believe this.
And as I said before, none of us here have inside knowledge on club strategy, so stop trying to pass off your opinion as fact and stop talking down to people who don't share the shame interpretation of the current club strategy as you do.
Oh the irony of that statement.
HH has already alluded to a lack of funding for the manager and there have already been major cutbacks at the club which would substantiate what BJ10 is saying and thats why he has questioned you on the ambition of the club.
Where will the funding come from to make it not a lack of funding?

What Lerner did by not giving, but loaning the club the money to embark on 'his' initial plan has damaged the club massively.
And to be frank, unless an oil sheik comes along the debt will always hold us back.
The answer isnt more debt. So unless the clubs revenues can be raised to compete then it's either make do or hope an owner who is willing to subsidize the club comes along.
That's why Lambert gives me so much hope, making do of the situation in the best way, although the start of the season has dented that hope. Because it's looking like the only option.

Ambitious, translation spend like there is no tommorrow.
The sugar daddy is pulling the reins in, deal with it. Stop throwing the toys out.
You should probably try reading before getting frustrated. No one is demanding spending like there's no tomorrow.
And as for your second point, should we be happy no matter what the owner does? We didn't accept it under Doug, why should we just because it's Lerner?
At the end of the day, we didn't get relegated. Skin of our teeth and all, but we got out of it and reversed three years of maligned players and bloated salaries (RL's fault, yes) in one year.
We did survive and cut the wage bill. I just disagree that it was a sane approach given how close we came to a relegation that could have set us back years.
A little bit more, lots more, or ridiculously more spending doesn't matter. The owner wan't his money back.
Did the non acceptance under Doug get anywhere, did Doug give a ****. Or did Doug in the end just have enough and sell.

If we come out of it being one of the few self sufficient clubs in the league, while retaining our premier league place, we'll be incredibly well placed for the future and it'll all have been worthwhileSo we are back to square one. Lerner has been at the club now 7 years and what do we have to show for it? **** all. No trophies and relegation battles for each of the last three seasons.
A massive IF is needed with this delightful dream.
It all comes done to IF that's Lerner's plan.
Remind me how much QPR spent? We all envied them right, remind me where they ended up. We are cutting our cloth accordingly, this may be seen as a lack of ambiton, call it what you want however we are where we are.
Are you saying that all clubs who show ambition end up like QPR?
Well we tried the QPR way and it was nice while it lasted but it would have bankrupted us if it was continued.

Someone that is prepared to pay wages in the 40-50k region will do for a start. He is basically just gambling with our club and is making a mess of it because he fkd up when he first came here.Give Lambert 20m to sign 2/3 midfielders please Randolph or just hurry up and sell
Who to?
It's easy to see the difference between someone who had to work hard to earn millions and someone who was born into money, the guy has no clue how to plan ahead and we are the one's suffering because of it.!
Football ain't really a normal business....it's just a plaything for billionaires.
See this were people are wrong. Yes we can have owners like Chelsea, Man City. But why not Arsenal or Liverpool, where they are still running the club as a business. Same at Tottenham really. What's the saying 'speculate to accumulate'. Its gonna be a long long hard road in the premiership the way Randy wants to run this club. That's if we stay in this League.
He did speculate. You could even argue, balls deep speculation.

Does put a shift in when he plays.
Deserves a chance I think.
-
He was having his photo taken with the squad this morning. Not sure if that means anything.

Who's the woman?

Ah the old width and length debate. Some say it matters some don't.
-
Not all this bullshit again.
He's going to leave, depending on who comes in and offering how much is all that will dictate when he leaves.
When he signed the new contract he was most likely told that play well for another season and you will have the likes of Man Utd interested and providing they stump up a reasonable fee you can leave when ever. The extension to the contract was to strengthen the clubs hand in negotiating the leaving fee when it happens.
This is fair on Beneteke and now one would begrudge him that. But what is also fair to the club is the fee is of a reasonable size.
In the mean time just enjoy him playing for us.

The only way he will go in January is if the fee is massive, really massive.
-
Really annoying this is, Man Utd are at huge risk of dropping like a stone now in my opinion. You don't lose a Manager as ingrained as Fergie without having an adverse effect
Yep. Their era is over.

All the content could be copied from a genuine account and reposted to a bogus account to trick people into thinking its official.
Gabby not being picked by woy is a massive indicator on the type of England team were going to be served up over the next few years, I really do feel a sense of happiness when England fail because of all the political crap that picks the team
Can you explain what is between the lines??
Roy thinks Gabby is shite.

For the benefit of those who don't use twitter, don't follow @g15bes, and don't intend to start, what does "being such a prick" mean?
Is he being a WUM (wind up merchant), some people can find that funny, or just generally uncouth, or politically incorrect? I notice from clips posted that @g15bes knows how to use the apostrophe - it's for "it is" rather than its.
That seems to imply a level of education not usually credited to Gabby but who knows.
Maybe @g15bes is misunderstood.
Your supposedly black and your calling someone a faggot. Kapish?

Does anyone else not give a shit if it's him or not. Really couldn't care less as long as he keeps doing the business on the pitch is all I care about. He is possibly using Twitter for his own amusement.
If he was making homophobic comments then yes I do care if it was him. Homophobia is illegal in this country and rightly so. I wonder if you'd be so dismissive of this if he was being racist and not homophobic? I doubt it very much.
Oh so you noted the Sikh, and then turned it into Racism. Where did I condone his comments about Homophobia? What I said all this, it's him it's not. It's really getting boring. This topic is to talk about his Villa form not his could be Twitter Account.
No, you said he was using twitter for his own amusement.
WTF?
NOTE the POSSIBLY!!!!! Anyway please stop quoting me on his Twitter account as I've stated many times zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Indeed and you also said you couldn't care less if he was.

Erm a wild stab in the dark here. I bet your wasn't this concerned and vocal on this thread when the money was being pumped and spent by MON.
In fact you was most likely lapping it up like the rest of the fan base.
