TrentVilla Posted November 21, 2011 Moderator Share Posted November 21, 2011 I abhor the notion that we should be communicated to in order to make us, or encourage us spend money. The point about communication is that it has worth in its own sake. Well like it or loath it there was a need for better communication and in part at least to try and encourage ticket sales especially given the issues in relation to income and wages. 1. the acknowledgment of bad comms is welcome, and will hopefully lead to behavioural change. 2. Plans are on hold for the ground and non-team stuff - the team is now priority. 3. He's not looking to sell. Thanks for answering, I think this is the only effort to do so or at least the only one I've seen. I agree he admits to the poor communication not sure I'd count that as us learning anything though. Plans on hold for the ground? No sorry I'm not counting that as I think we've known that for quite some time. As for him not looking to sell, well yes he does say that and I'm happy to take him at his word but again I think its stretching it to suggest this is really us learning something new. In terms of the club moving forward I just think the article says very little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDrums Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I presumed he meant it was either North Stand investment or investment in the squad, and not both. Maybe I read too much into that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 When I think of how we worked and strived to get nearly on a par with Spurs and Liverpool and then watch the drivel served up again tonight I struggle to believe it. I'd actually rather do a Leeds than carry on like this ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 After reading the interview again, the thing that sticks out is his talking about Fergie's "letter of recommendation", and how it helped factor into their decision to hire AM. It's actually really embarrassing. Who gives a f*ck about what a RIVAL MANAGER has to say about our manager selection? In fact, you might want to consider doing the opposite of whet they suggest. Ferguson is probably having a good laugh right about now. It's more naivete from Lerner, getting all weak-kneed again over a big name manager.

TheDrums Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I've been saying that on Vital Villa but was laughed at for saying we looked stupid mentioning bloody Fergies recommendation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LambStockmix Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I have. What's the point if it's not enjoyable? Some people might say, "where's your loyalty? You're supposed to stick with it through thick and thin". That's bollocks though. There's no doubt I've shown enough blind loyalty over the years to earn myself a disability parking badge. Tell me this; if you were watching a shit film, would you walk out? And if the person who made that film kept making crap film after crap film with no respect for the people that go and watch, would you still carry on turning up to watch? Of course you wouldn't. I'm not being taken for granted anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDrums Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Yeah, I'm keeping my money in my pockets until McLeish goes. Spent enough this year on watching shit being served up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LambStockmix Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I spent £80 on 2 tickets to watch Man Shitty v Villa. Christ. Not spending a penny (so to speak) for a very VERY looooooong time on football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaRoy Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 McLiesh settling for a 2-0 loss to Spurs for about 35 minutes of this second half. No attempts to change the game. Randy must be seeing this. Get the idiot out the club and pass it over to KMac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People sold him a bill of goods on AM, and he believes it, he's just reconfirmed that position. The only way out of this latest hole is to sink further into it, I'm afraid.

Big_John_10 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 So will those defending lerner really come on and tell us we should accept and be happy with tonights performance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanvilla_1994 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Even if Randy gets rid of Mcleish he'll only replace him with a shit manager again without the last 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaRoy Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Randy actually paid Birmingham for Alex McLiesh, the guy is shocking at selecting a manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubbs Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Seems funny Randy defends the AM appointment and brings up the letter from Fergie, probably expecting a performance like tonights. Good try Randy but it's getting boring now. We had hope 3 years ago, now what have we got? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDrums Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Lerner is clueless. As far as he is concerned he's staying over in America. Out of sight, out of mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayls Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 That was terrible tonight- I had no frigging idea what we were doing tactically? What, what was the plan? Did Bent even play? Did we have a midfield? Bloody terrible and I feel sorry for our representatives who went to watch that. Poor them. Bring on January - we need players, more specifically-defenders.

TheDrums Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 And after McLeish signed Hutton for £4m you trust him to sign decent defenders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
