GENTLEMAN Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 What on earth have we done to deserve Ellis and then Lerner. What makes Lerner worse is the hiding away when things got tough, the guy lacks the courage of his conviction. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we continued to make the same mistakes that put us in trouble. Houllier ruined anything decent about the MON years. He needed us to smash our club record on spending to save us. Look at the money (while we were pissing money away) we've spent on darren bent. We then hire mcleish, easily one of the stupidest appointments in premier league history. And while we're meant to be cutting costs we give massive contracts to ireland, hutton, given and Nzogbia. How many of them have been value for money? And while 90 % did want lambert, i doubt 90% wanted him to be given the budget he was. Sherwood was a desperate appointment and now we're struggling with that. You make it sound like he's not made mistakes since MON when thats clearly not the case. MON left 5 seasons ago, you dont think 5 years is enough time to stop a team like us from going from 6th to the championship? Every major decision made by the owner has sent the club closer to relegation. Theres a reason why clubs like ourselves dont get relegated often, because its actually difficult to **** up a club like ours as much as this man has. Yet you seem to have sympathy for him. Rumours that Houllier wanted Benzema on loan that January!! but Lerner said no and he told Houllier that he wanted Bent at Villa,.. As Lerner was a fan of Darren Bent. Worked well that season in the end but we have lost so much money on high earners and big fees this last few years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villan4Life Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 When was last time "We want Lerner Out" and protests been sung at any games? Last time i heard it was Swansea away 2 years ago when i went. When we lost 4-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 The savviest move he's made was "putting the club up for sale". This insulates him from a lot of criticism and active protest, because "Hey, I'm TRYING to sell the club like you want me too!" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanky Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Should of sacked Lambert after Bradford and given the new manager some money to buy some actual players who can play football in that January. The mistakes were before that but that has a major contribution to the catastrophic events of the present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As is the takeover, as is the next excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lerner should have (properly) backed Lambert in his second season, when Benteke had signed his new deal and there was some optimism around the club.

He was never there to be backed. The 'project' was a good way for Lerner to stop spending and to use the 'young and hungry' route to make cuts we are still feeling now. People just can't seem to put it all together. It's total bollocks too that there are no alternatives to Lerner. The fact is he needs to be a willing seller... but is he really?

DCJonah Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I think that's me done. Around 15 years as a ST holder and I'm not sure I'm going to return. I'm going to become a dad in March and TBH with this guy running the club I just don't want to put my time or money towards it anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is more to life than Villa - I have found the same. Also getting married and looking to start a family. Lerner has destroyed this club and the fans suffer. It matters not to him though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first season ticket this season and I've not even been to the last two home games (incl. today), because times where usually I'd watch the game instead of work, I've now decided to just get on with working instead. Football used to be an escape for me, that one day of the week where I just forget everything else and enjoy some time on my own. Now, football is something I want to escape from, I'm sick of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacbuddies Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Randy Lerner is undoubtedly the worlds worst owner of sporting clubs. He screwed up at Cleveland Browns and has screwed up massively at AVFC. Not sure who I detest most, Lerner or the senile old git that sold us to him. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
