NurembergVillan Posted April 16, 2014 Moderator Share Posted April 16, 2014 Could the utterings of the owner be the prelude to his attendance at a game, apparently much craved for by some? Usually if someone asked that we'd all ask you, so you've probably just broken the Matrix! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morley_crosses_to_Withe Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 If I was a betting man, which I am, I'd bet that nobody is going anywhere this summer. Not Lambert. Not Faulkner. Not Lerner. Are you usually successful at betting or do the bookies welcome your input? Try me. How much are we betting? Money to Acorns or VillaTalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunny*Nunny Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I'm sure Randy knows that potential buyers are more likely to buy a club that appears to be in good spirits and that ends the season on a (relative) high. His words don't mean he's staying put necessarily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Yes i think a lot of the stuff coming out the club at the moment is just to create a certain feeling amongst fans. Perhaps a sort of way of creating a 'new manager bounce' without actually having a new manager. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His words don't mean he's staying put necessarily. Don't think that's the case re. a potential buyer. He certainly didn't buy the club when it was in good spirits. We were at the lowest point I can remember as a fan that summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted April 16, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted April 16, 2014 As much as I dislike the way Randy has run the club. I have the utmost respect for the way he manages people. The past 3 seasons he must have been absolutely shitting himself thinking that we're gunna get relegated, yet has never spoken out or shown any sign of panic. Must have balls of steel. But still, hope he sells Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I couldn't care less if the chairman came out and said he loves wet farts, as long as the words he says take the pressure off so we can cross the line and be able to build again next year with a new owner and manager. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) I don't think there's much to read into with this statement it's just standard stuff It is sadly standard stuff at Villa with the owner backing yet another beleaguered manager at the helm with bland pravda nonsense. Real backing with cold hard cash in the summer would be a bit better. Edited April 16, 2014 by The Fun Factory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Anyone think that we could get bought out even if we go down? Financially it will take a boat load to get us competitive again anyway so a season in the Championship wouldn't be horrendous. Surely we would be one of the favourites to come back up.

maqroll Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 The asking price would plummet...so Lerner wouldn't sell until we'd be back up. Which is not guaranteed to happen right away. We could be just steps away from a dark wilderness right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamdog Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 The bottom line is that Lerner has stood by Lambert, as my friend rightly said, but only because Lambert has agreed, somewhere along the line, to never mention the fact that he has no real money to spend.

Says the Albrighton train story is bollocks. http://www.thesecretfootballer.com/articles/the-secret-footballer/16584/backroom-harmony-at-villa-turns-sour/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
