I did little wee when I read about this. If he goes...well...'clean up on aisle three'.

I'll drive your car up there myself, Joleon. I saw a photo of it once...

Today, for the first time in the best part of 37 years of watching live football, I did something that I never thought I would do. I got up and walked out of a game after 62 minutes. I stood up from my seat in Trinity Road, walked down the stairs and out of the ground without the slightest pull to turn around and go back to my seat, not even the slightest glimmer.

 

I used to say that I was proud to be a Villa fan. Unfortunately as things stands, how I feel at present is nothing but embarrassed.

 

Mr Lerner, you have ripped the heart out of our club. You have turned our fearsome lion into a shadow of its former self.

 

The sad thing for me, is that I think I saw this coming. To be honest, my claret & blue heart first started to break the day that Martin O’Neill walked out. From all accounts, he left when you wouldn’t release him the money you received from James Milner’s transfer to Man City. My, my, I wonder how much more you’ve let slip down the drain as a result of that decision…a lot more than the £26 million Milner was sold for I’d imagine.

 

At some point shortly after, during the Gerard Houllier reign if I’m right, I was so concerned and frustrated at what I was seeing on the pitch, that I shouted ‘Lerner Out!’ across the stands. No-one else said a word…no-one joined in with me. Today as I was walking out of the ground, those words were ringing across the stands.

 

There’s enough documented and known already this season about the shambles on the pitch, so I’m not going to go into that now. But what I would say is this, the club is rotten to the core, it’s everywhere you go. My little boy was a mascot recently.  I was told that I had to buy him a kit to wear. Whilst I understand that this may be common practice, I was a bit disappointed to be asked to buy a kit rather than being given one, when I have invested thousands of pounds into the club over the years through buying season tickets.  On the day, we were ushered into a run-down, forgotten part of the North Stand, with a half full vending machine and catering staff wheeling trolleys through to the boxes every few minutes.  We were there 3 hours before the game, and not once offered a cup of tea or coffee.  None of the kids were given even a glass of squash.  I’m not sure what mascot experiences are like at other clubs, but can only imagine they are a lot better than the one currently offered at Villa.

 

Today, we ordered some food from the catering in Trinity Road. The service was slow, and the girl who served us was rude and sullen. Not the biggest concern of my day by any means, but just another disappointing offering from Aston Villa Football Club.

 

The worst thing of all Mr Lerner, you promised us better things….Proud History, Bright Future….not our words, yours.

 

After all this will I be going to watch Villa in The Championship?  Actually, yes I will. Why? Because they are my club, not yours ultimately. I and future generations of my family will be supporting Villa years after you are a distant memory. What keeps me going is the promise of a new dawn. The promise of the day when I will once again be proud to be a Villa fan. That day, Mr Lerner, will be the day that you are no longer anything to do with Aston Villa Football Club.

 

 

 

This is a phenomenal post. We are all sorry you had to write this. 

Amazing that so much of the 'business' side of things is also cankered to the core. Supporters are not valued in so many ways. 

The O'Neil moment was a difficult moment for me, too. I didn't want to see it at the time.

Lerner needs to make a loss on us and leave. He said he was a 'custodian': leave it to another now. You can't turn it around. Stop breaking hearts like the poster above. Lerner, your money might give you the chance to do this, not the f-ing right.

We are AVFC. 

Lost the players - if he ever had them. I think he was okay to alienate those players who weren't pulling their weight when he arrived. Problem is, the squad is not big enough to do that with all of them. He comes across as very honest, he knows the players have not been good enough, but he's also now made a rod for his own back.

I would have liked to see him taking a few more under his wing and castigated only a very small number of scapegoats. I think he's too nice for his own good. 

I feel for him, though, because of the BS that he has dealt with thus far from the board. Perhaps a decent couple of signings in January would have lifted the place? Just a couple. Moreover, the squad is embarrassingly light. Signings would have at least provided some extra energy and members of 'team Remi'.

If I was Remi, I'd walk. We can be thankful that he has more class than me,mthough, and will stay on because he said he would. Let's face it: his reign has been a disaster. 

I've been out and kept getting goal alerts on the phone. I don't know what to say. 

Is it pure heartlessness on the part of the team or what? Can someone fill me in-I'm in shock.

Okore, you beautiful beast.

Grrrr! Liverpool are shite

It's not like they can even bring on Benteke to help us out. All three subs used for them apparently.

F-ing Sunderland.

We need fresh legs to finish this off on the break. 

I would say 'bring the kids on' but I'm getting all prissy over our three points. 

Precious three points. 

Gabby is rolling back the years. Shed those pounds and show you want it. You're a fan, too!

Come on Remi, bring on the child.

Read this and was initially quite alarmed: sounded like some sort of bizarre ritual. 

There's another chance for us in this match to make it 3-0. I'm sure. Tails up. 

Keep threading them through Veretout.

Bacuna is a lamentably shit football player

I just think he tries to think about what he's doing too much. Problem is: he's not an intelligent man.

Do we have any strikers to bring on for no reason?

Maybe this is what the board were trying to prevent with the January window policy? Okay, it all makes sense now!

Let's put this to bed: 3-0 leaving no chance for any wobbles. 

Just want this for Remi!

2?!!!! What is this?

Please let this give them some confidence. Make VP a fortress second half boys, come on!

This is about eleven men wearing the badge. Nothing else.

I thought Villa vs West Brom was worst game I have ever seen but this is a new level of shitness

They know they've lost the bigger fight. It's like a boxer just willing the final bell to come.

This season is f-ing purgatory. Let's have a pow-wow over the summer about the leadership of the club. Sort Remi's future out. Work out what we're going to do for next season in the Championship. How can you tread water when you've already f-ing drowned?!
