HeyAnty Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 There must be loads. He wouldn't have come in on his high horse otherwise. Better men than me have tried to reason with you but its obvious nothing is going to change your mind is it? The fact we are on an even keel and not spiralling into bankruptcy is not a bad start? The fact that we are actually trying to play, albeit with a young and inexperienced side at this level. The fact we persuaded Benteke to stay in the summer against the odds. The fact that highly paid journeymen are being ousted from the club. The fact our players are no longer hanging one on and then abusing our the coaches (legend at that) Watching the club I love lose to a poor West Ham side, alongside my son who has never seen Villa lift any silverware is not my idea of fun either. Difference is, I do not spend all my evenings venting my splein to a group of people who frankly skip the posts because they know what the content will be just by looking at your user name! You make a lot of valid points i agree with and im glad the club are sorting them out. But i do have to question the bankruptcy statement. Lerner owns the club so we arent near bankruptcy, especially when our finances are run as that of a championship club over the past 2 years giving the wages and transfer fees Lerner forks out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_John_10 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Better men than me have tried to reason with you but its obvious nothing is going to change your mind is it? After that game why on earth would I change my mind.The fact we are on an even keel and not spiralling into bankruptcy is not a bad start? Its a positive that we're not spiralling into bankruptcy? Get the flags out. We earn more money than most prem teams this is hardly worth a cheer.The fact that we are actually trying to play You don't watch us much do you?The fact we persuaded Benteke to stay in the summer against the odds. That was a positive, I'll give you that. The fact that highly paid journeymen are being ousted from the club. And replaced with?The fact our players are no longer hanging one on and then abusing our the coaches (legend at that) Clutching now. I knew it didn't take much to impress you.Watching the club I love lose to a poor West Ham side, alongside my son who has never seen Villa lift any silverware is not my idea of fun either So why defend the owner?Difference is, I do not spend all my evenings venting my splein to a group of people who frankly skip the posts because they know what the content will be just by looking at your user name!

No im not saying that, but any other manager may not have had the stomach to do it. If rumours are to believed, OGS, Martinez, Benitez, Jol weren't interested in doing it.

LeafyVilla Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Go home Lerner you are killing the club I love, the manager should have been backed reasonably in the January transfer window to give ourselves a better chance of survival but obviously wasn't, my money is on us getting relegated this year and to me the blame would lie firmly with the man that has only backed his manager enough to bring in shite, F**K off Lerner.....

Popular Post Denis_B Posted February 9, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2014 This idiot together with his idiot manager and idiot CEO made a gamble in January - a big gamble - that we had enough points on the board to stay up that is why they didn't go that extra mile to sign a MF and CB. The last time he took a gamble in January was with Bent - it worked - however there are times when your luck runs out and I just hope this Troika of muppets haven't reached that point yet. No plan A let alone a plan B other than to not get into debt and hang on to a Premiership place until someone comes along to rescue Yankee Doodle Dandy. When a club gets so desperate about itself that it has to ban long standing and well respected supporters from the Directors area and the spin machine has to get into gear to lie about the owner attending games then the writing is on the wall - DOOMED I tell ya we're DOOMED! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetrees Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 When a club gets so desperate about itself that it has to ban long standing and well respected supporters from the Directors area and the spin machine has to get into gear to lie about the owner attending games then the writing is on the wall - DOOMED I tell ya we're DOOMED! Did Lambert actually say that? It seems strange that the spin machine would come up with something when they know that the owner's movements are monitored, and therefore any such statement is easily disprovable. Unless it was an off the cuff remark from PL during a press conference, over which the club would have no control. Plus most of us don't give a shit whether he attends games or not.

Its been nearly 4 years! What the **** are you going on about. Last year we won 5 home games, the last time we did that was 1890. Last year we lost 9 home games, that's the joint worst in the clubs history. The year before we won only 4 home games and thats the worst in the clubs history. Modern fans crying is because thanks to our owner the modern fans are seeing some of the worst results the club has ever produced. Think about that for a second. We're not talking a bad couple of weeks, we're talking the worst in the history of the football club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 To be fair after the Liverpool game it didn't look like we were that desperate to sign anyone. But again Lamberts inconsistantcy strikes again against West Ham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
