Popular Post ChrisVillan Posted February 19, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2016 I see no problem with a demonstration of anger, myself. It won't achieve anything but I'm a long way past that being a reason to keep quiet. I'm totally in favour of making a fuss for the sake of it. If it makes life uncomfortable for the board until they sod off, great. If it somehow makes its way over the Atlantic and gets close to embarrassing the owner then that's just gravy. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Good work Mike, I'm in the take-action camp too. Although I don't go to many games any more due to location, costs, family and work commitments, I still care very deeply about our club and I know that when my circumstances change in future, I will be going again. Simply doing nothing will achieve nothing, doing something might also achieve nothing. But it might just achieve something. And if that something means Randy is more likely to want to get out sooner, then that's a result. I can't get down to join in and I'm not on Twitter. However I can still raise awareness on the other forums I use and point my Villa supporting mates back home to this forum. Good luck in this venture, as it gains momentum there'll be many behind you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is where I don't really get it. Tbh, I'm 10x more pissed off with the players than the regime. I have zero issue with lerner wanting to cut costs/save money however he has made some atrocious decisions in going about it. Time after time. I think it's easy and traditional to point the finger at the man at the top (who without doubt has to shoulder some blame). True, had he invested more or wiser or both, we wouldn't be in this mess. However, had the players given more in terms of effort, desire, commitment and personal responsibility then I don't think we'd be in this mess either. I know which would have been easier and more sustainable. And I know which one I expect more, demand in fact. Don't want to turn the thread away from the effort mike has obviously gone too, but I do think a protest aimed at the players would be so much more unique and powerful. If anything, this is going to lead to more pandering bullshit about how those meek cretins need us to put our disapproval of Lerner aside and be 100% behind them.

samjp26 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I think the players have a take a great deal of blame, however this current set of players can't be blamed for what has happened to our club over the last however many years now. We need the media behind us, we need the greater footballing world to see and understand just how badly our club is ran. Why? Because by doing so, that is when true pressure will be put on the board, and perhaps we'll become less of a laughing stock. I'll be out the door on '74, that is for sure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would much rather have kept my head down and avoided the sniping that will inevitably come my way. To those who don't agree or don't see the point, can I just say, you may be absolutely right and I will probably end up with egg my face but.......... nothing ventured........!

Davkaus Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Who voted for this rocket polisher to be a spokesman for Villa fans?

Demitri_C Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Excellent job mike we need people to promote this on other villafirums. There might be rivalry between all our forums but we stand united for our hatred for Lerner and fox #outthedoor74 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
