    The worst part of Hollis letter is the suggestion that they are trying to establish the root cause of our problems. The root cause is pretty obvious. Lerner has made bad decisions on staff appointments and how he spent his money. Those staff have made bad decisions on staff appointments and how they spent the money available. So...the root cause is Lerner and the people Lerner appoints. Just remind me, who appointed Hollis? At the time of writing I am not worried about Premiership relegation. Its getting together a team that will not bw involved in a relegation struggle NEXT year.

    The Jags uniform was hilarious. It was like watching a team of C3P0. I look forward to seeing the Browns uniform for fairly obvious reasons. Raiders will be an interesting choice. Black = 11 poorly trained ninjas. Proper Silver = 11 airport firefighters. Grey Silver = "Who left black pants in with the white laundry?"

    I hate the color rush uniforms. I've not seen one that's pleasing to the eye. I just can't understand what its trying to achieve. How many fans will buy those jersey? Not many. They are nowhere near as marketable as the throwback jersey.

    Color Rush Uniforms. Are they? A- A welcome change and pleasing to the eye. B- Ridiculous. Its like watching teams playing in pyjamas. C- A great way to prevent colourblind fans watching games. Serves them right. Discuss.

    Having seen today's line up I can only conclude the Black is the 3rd best manager we've had this year. That says a lot.

    I have no ill will against the Broncos. They are a great car. Just ask OJ...

    I'm a Raiders fan, I have a lot of experience of being at the bottom of a division.

    The Rams - Titans trade seems an amazing deal for the Titans. Wentz or Goff would need to be Hall Of Fame quality to make the trade good value. Titans need half a team and this trade gives them a fighting chance of real improvement. But we are talkingabout the Titans. I am sure they will find a way to screw it up.

    Claret and blue might seem the obvious colour choice. But yellow and black is the most striking colour combination which is why hazard signs tend to be that colour. You could also include small text asking the fans to deposit the signs for re-use at various locations outside the ground. You may only get a few back but any that you do will just add to the effect of future protests. ?

    I have just donated to your crowdfunding. Glad to help. For the next set of banners why not go for a simple symbol rather than a slogan. A campaign that is visually striking will get far more publicity. I am sure someone can improve on this idea but how about fans holding up banners with "?" to signify the lack of comment from the owner and club on the future. That could look amazing. Or large cardboard arrows which fans in the Holte point towards the opposition goal on 74.

    £20+ is no problem. I can't get to games very often and it would make me feel like I am contributing. On a lighter note...we haven't ruled out a gypsy curse being the cause of our current malaise.Therefore I propose the next protest be targetted at the very scientific solution of urinating on each corner of the ground. #GoForAWeeOn73

    Stick with Banners on 74. The best visual image will need banners to be given away beforehand. I'll gladly donate a few groats and I am sure so will many others. You've made some mistakes but at a time when certain players have no passion, no commitment, no resilience and no creativity, its great to see a group of fans showing those qualities.

    Tomorrow could see us one step closer to seeing Barry Bannan back at Villa Park. I must go now. I've got to find 6 feet of rope and a sturdy beam.

    I can't understand why some people think this protest is dedetrimental to the club. I doubt the board is thinking "The protests are growing in popularity so lets not work quite as hard". These protests will motivate change. If I was a potential buyer I would rather see protests from engaged and passionate fans. That's much better than empty terraces and/or apathy. At a time when we are critical of players for showing no fight, no passion, no creativity and no effort, it makes no sense to criticise the Protest Group for showing those qualities in abundance.

    LOL. I suppose we would have worked that out a little quicker had we been using our real names. DOH!

    The original email was reproduced in the protest groups press release of 23rd March. You can view it on the press release section.

    Many years ago I went to a Lazio game where the fans in the home end remained silent throughout the game. It seemed to have more impact than a torrent of abuse. Lazio scored 2 or 3 that day and only a handful of fans even blinked. It got a lot of press attention.

    It definitely didn't say prefer. I shall be very interested to see if the club takes any action this time. Good luck everyone involved.

    I approached the club for an explanation of why the club confiscated the Lerner Out banner whilst ignoring far more offensive language. Their reply DOESN'T say anyone complained, nor anyone couldn't see, nor the message was offensive. It says that banners must be pre-approved and generally supportive. Isn't the honest answer that 'someone' decreed a crackdown on visible protest against Lerner on the same day that the protest group had suspended a visible protest against Lerner. That was what I found bemusing and annoying.
  21. Mandy Lifeboats
    Protest if you feel it will help. Don't protest if you feel it will help. But why argue over who is right? Hopefully BOTH viewpoints are motivating change.

    Next year will not be a year for rebuilding the squad. We'll be seeing recalled loanees, u21, anyone we can't offload and a lone signing or two. I can't see many managers wanting to walk into that position. Its a season where stability is the best we can hope for. I see no reason to throw away more money getting a new manager to work under those limitations.

    I've tried to register on here several times but it never seems to work. Lets try again. I've been a Villa Fan since my nan gave me a claret and blue tracksuit in 1974. For several years I've read the forum and enjoyed the posts.
