Zatman Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 people moan that he asset stripped the team but without him we would never have bought MIlner, Downing or Young and Barry would have left in 07 when his contract was up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Needs to Invest wisely. Been a really badly run club so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Time for the current custodian of AVFC to act to protect his investment. If he really doesnt have the financial clout to do this I would expect him to act in the best interests of the club and seek investment from elsewhere.............or he can act in the best interest of Randy Lerner PLC and not dilute is holding in the club. I wonder which he will do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Could the remaining few continue to defend him if the manager isn't fully backed this window? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Just thought I'd post some stats that gilberto posted in another thread Few facts I've just come across, appreciate many of you will have seen some of them but thought I'd post anyway: Villa have won just five of their last thirty-seven league games. We have also won only three of our last twenty-three home league games. We have the fewest wins in 2012 out of all ninety-two Football League teams (6). Villa also scored the fewest number of league goals in the entire Football League in 2012 (30). Adds a bit more to the argument that we're worse off now than when Doug was here.

sutherland Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Whay to go randy... 6-7 years into the job and you sure are getting to grips with this soccer ball project!..

jacketspuds Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Lerner has 3 weeks to save his investment IMO. You don't buy a football club to make money and breaking even would be seen as something of a success but at the same time the amount he could stand to lose should we get relegated would be ridiculous. Lerner has sanctioned this mess and he needs to do what is necessary to fix the problems at our club. They certainly aren't going to fix themselves.

BennettVilla Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 So I share the same name as the worst player in Premier league history and just found out my birthday is shared by randy lerner. Things dont look too great for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 lerner should have a long chat with Graham Taylor about how to run a football club. I dont think he wants to put anymore money in and will gamble that there are 3 worse teams than us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Randy Lerner, in June you have the real Bon Jovi playing live at Villa Park at a cost of £65 for a standing ticket. In February, the UK's number one tribute act to Bon Jovi - Bon Jovi UK - are playing at the Queen's Hall in Nuneaton. The ticket price is £6. Villa fans had 3 x top 6 finishes watching International class footballers. Multi-million pound signings on top salaries. We are now being subjected to a future of unknown players and players from our own academy, who cost very little to sign and who are going to be on salaries that are not akin to those with "star" quality. A tribute act, if you like! With that in mind, I hope that the ticket prices will start to reflect the quality that you are putting on show for us!

ender4 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Could the remaining few continue to defend him if the manager isn't fully backed this window? Depends what u mean by 'fully backed'? If you mean spend £40mill this season, (£20m in summer, £20m now) then i don't expect him to do that & wouldn't want him to. If you mean take annual wages back to £70m+, then again i wouldn't expect that & wouldn't want him to. If you mean spend £25m-£30m this season, so another £5-10mill this window, and increase wages by another couple of million, then yes i want him to & expect him to do so. If he doesn't, then i wouldn't defend him. Of course, if he does make money available & Lambert doesn't spend it all (like its rumoured he didn't in the summer) then a different set of questions come about.

lexicon Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I'm getting bored to tears by this anti-Lerner diatribe - so many circumstantial assumptions being thrown around and so little factual knowledge available, what's the point in any of it? All you need to do is look at the state of our inbred neighbours to see how a football club is actually run badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villarocker Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Yes because that's exactly how football works. Have you heard of the saying "you get what you pay for"?
