MikeMcKenna Posted March 6, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted March 6, 2016 2 hours ago, PieFacE said: Because despite how absolutely terrible Lerner is at running a football club, he does somewhat care for it, and cares for his investment. He would stand to sell the club for a lot more if he can sell us whilst being a Premier League club. I'm absolutely positive we will give promotion a good go. I really don't agree. We will sell more players and I think we could struggle next year to make an impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 obviously Lerner is a big problem at the club BUT its no excuse for the lack of effort from players on good contracts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasshopper Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 RL will soon be able to have who he wanted all along. cue the appointment of Shteve McClaren once Toon sack him. one more kick in the balls for the fans from Randy.

Spoony Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 If he's bored of football and doesn't want to invest, fine, whatever. But I don't understand how any man could stand being so universally hated? Does it not bother him? I'd be perpetually miserable if I knew the things people were saying about me (including the very personal (and I should say totally unjustified) insults and threats to him and his family). I just don't know why he hasn't been desperate to jump ship sooner. He must be losing money from this regardless so why not cut his losses and sell to just anyone? It'll be a drop in the ocean at this point and he wouldn't be making any great loss in real terms. In his position I wouldn't care about who I sell to, I'd sell to literally anyone who offered at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick76 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Wasnt he disliked when he owned Cleveland Browns? I'm guessing not to the extent he is hated here so there is precedent for disliked, I wondered how he reacted towards the end of that era there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollis is by any other name an administrator who has come in to slash our costs and raise as much as he can from the sale of players. Hence the rumours of various players moving on. With King saying something about there being 'more difficult times ahead' I think we should brace ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMcKenna Posted March 9, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted March 9, 2016 Has anybody got accurate figures on how much Randy Lerner has invested in Aston Villa? Purchase price, loans etc If yes what does it represent in $$$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a walking failure and a complete joke of a man. I overstepped the mark. I just hate seeing the club dismantled in this way, it is not right.

The_Rev Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Jonathan Wilson told a short story about Lerner and Villa at The Blizzard's live show in Dublin last week. It's another alarming indication that Lerner is a complete idiot. (link) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming this time around the plebs are the fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like Brian Little but if true, this is potentially another bit of PR spin as when they announced Petrov joining first team coaching staff recently. If all of this is true, sounds like Garde has no control anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grasshopper Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Once a General leaves his position in the US Forces, he is no longer a "General" So Mr Krulak should F**k **f back to his X-Box and spare us his BS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
