We should rename him randy the grim reaper. As totally destroyed us, let's hope the new owners will rebuild quickly.
24 Apr 2016 12:52:16
including the stadium upgrade lerner said we'd get; another broken promise.

22 Apr 2016 18:06:49
Well said Flackie, brought a tear to my eye mate.
Said like a true Villa fan, and I echo your sentiments completely.
Randy just hurry up and go, you are like a black shroud over our great club.
22 Apr 2016 19:21:08
Thanks mate, onwards and upwards !
(Even if said in sarcasm! Lol 😜)
22 Apr 2016 20:18:31
Flackie I am on about your post on the rumour page about Learner
I posted on the wrong page mate.
22 Apr 2016 20:39:27
Thank you mate!
22 Apr 2016 16:14:58
I think Lerner will sell to larry ellison but we probably still a few weeks away. I can't see these villa supporters having the funds to really take us forward in the way we want and he talks about in his statement. I'd be glad with anyone though if they want to take us on wards and upwards so let's hope for a quick sale a new manager and get some in and some out.
22 Apr 2016 16:26:43
Kingvilla, we can dream of Ellison but I'll take anyone to get rid of lerner. Maybe big bad doug wasn't so bad lol.
22 Apr 2016 17:27:53
doug was the 1 who put lerner incharge he knew he wouldn't go to games but he wasnt bothered he sold it to lerner knowing he was crap so every1 would say wow that doug ellis was better than lerner he wasnt so bad after all.
22 Apr 2016 17:35:53
How can you say that??
We wanted rid of Doug, and he sold to a guy who promised the earth, and I'm sure sold his 'love' of the villa to Doug.
He didn't know he would be like this, how could he??
The grass is not greener, and all this proves it.
At least Doug remained a fan, home and away.
22 Apr 2016 17:52:59
He could have knew easily known you only have to do research at the time if you typed in Randy Lerner on Google all you would hear was Cleveland Browns fans saying get him out he is awful! he knew what he was doing.
22 Apr 2016 18:07:37
Doug is Mr VILLA.
22 Apr 2016 19:16:45
Mate, I totally disagree! That said, I like you, and in sure Doug, wish he hadn't sold to the yank (with a capital w!)
But to ever doubt, challenge, or contest dougs love of villa, is crazy.
You forget the protests, chants, and battle we all had to get him out?
To then suggest he should of checked his crystal ball to see nine years in the future is ridiculous.
We ALL believed Lerners promises.
He let us all down, including Doug.
22 Apr 2016 20:16:21
I suppose your right what do you think of the season ticket prices dropping i save 5pound which iam glad they just didn't put them up but was hoping more really! where do you sit at vp mayb pre match drink 1 time.
22 Apr 2016 20:47:43
I sit in the holte upper. I've not seen the application for next year yet, but mate, Defo up for a drink at a game sometime.
We should all get together next year in an away ground?! Plenty of games in our area next year!
22 Apr 2016 22:19:49
no probkem mate i go home and away so any away game will do we great to all have a beer we can all hav a laugh at our rumours!
23 Apr 2016 07:25:58
Jeez, we've all gone happy clappy, what the hell is going on, we'll be hugging trees next!
23 Apr 2016 12:52:25
Villa activated50%pay cut for relegation, inserted before season.
22 Apr 2016 15:39:08
off Randy
The passion in is your words
Actions speak louder the words
Aston Villa was you crash test dummy
You Could see it happening
You couldn't or wouldn't stop it
Your words get me so angry
It is all your fault
I hope the new owners take us higher than the elite
And you sit there thinking for a twenty million more at the right time
You could have made the jump from 6th to 1st 2nd in the premier
Would, Milner, Young, Barry Downing have walked if champions league was on offer
Success breads success
Beneteke Delph even valar the second generation would have stayed
Empty words randy
Empty words.
22 Apr 2016 15:57:38
Spot on mate.
I could of lived with not getting there, if we had tried, but to just not go for it, throw a towel in, and except second rate is unacceptable.
The fact we stood by the club, team is to our credit, not his.
22 Apr 2016 16:21:16
*accept!!

Hi ED
I bet the predictive text is a nightmare for you.
{Ed001's Note - I hate it, first thing I do when I get a new phone is turn it off. Predictive text can make even the brightest person seem like a moron at times!}
22 Apr 2016 19:23:18
I know Jesus! (Ed001) makes us stupid people look like we are from the Black Country!.
{Ed001's Note - isn't that where stupid people come from?}
22 Apr 2016 19:28:16
Lol
When you have to explain a punch line, you know it's time to walk away from the gag!
{Ed001's Note - apologies I was distracted and never read it correctly.}
22 Apr 2016 19:33:44
Lol
Distracted? Did it involve fish, wine, lepers or a neighbors wife?
24 Apr 2016 13:01:28
we lost benteke and the restbecause, not just on the footballing side, but also we wouldn't compete on the greedy bastards money demandsyet all of a sudden we threw millions around on unknown froggies! i'd like to know 2 things1. just how hard did the club try to keep them both?2 what was garde told to con him into taking the v. p. job?
22 Apr 2016 15:30:59
Just read about Okore not wanting to play anymore for us as on the club website. Unbeleivable but I can understand his frustration when lescott gets in the team in front of him.
22 Apr 2016 15:51:07
No, I can't understand his frustration. Regardless of who is or isn't in the team ahead of you. Do your job and work your way back.
Don't let him off the hook. His behaviour is indefensible
He is justing trying to force a move in the predictable way footballers do
(I call it doing a Yorke)
22 Apr 2016 15:59:05
Hope we get millions from new owners, and he watches from the reserves.
It's another disgrace.
22 Apr 2016 16:02:10
Mendax I agree with you what I was saying is I would have the asre if lescott was ahead of me in the pecking order. Okore has been one of our better players. I don't think he needs to force a move as I thing a few prem clubs would have him.
22 Apr 2016 17:25:43
Wish I could tell my work I don't want to do anything and still get paid.
22 Apr 2016 17:30:40
I understand where you are going with this mate.
But like you say, he doesn't need to force a move, other premiership clubs would have him. That makes his behaviour even more unacceptable.
It's not even as though he has been out of the team for a long time, He has been dropped by a manager who will have a total tenure of 5 games. Despicable.
p. s don't it feel awful talking about premiership clubs in the context of us not being one?
22 Apr 2016 20:38:22
Yeah let's hope it all gets sorted soon, new owner, new manager, new dreams and back to the premier with a bang.
23 Apr 2016 13:00:59
When okore and Clarke played together at. The back. End of last season I hoped we'd found. A decent pairing to take us forward, lescot? We never needed that carthorse.
24 Apr 2016 13:03:54
baker looked far better after his loan last year, i bet he's as brassed off as anyone seeing that klingon getting played and not him.
22 apr 2016 12:59:51
so who do you the fans want to takeover aston villa? larry ellison or the group of villa fans? and manager well it could be anybody i will belive it when i see it that lerner is trying to sell. from his statement i got that his sorry but is still looking for a buyer but untill then he will continue to try an bring back the glory days! it didn't say he has a buyer or a sale was in the pipeline.
22 Apr 2016 13:26:21
I really hope it's Larry Ellison
This guy is a total winner.
Hope he heavily invests in our historic club and watches that glorious night in Rotterdam
If he grows to love the MIGHTY VILLA half as much as us good days will be back.
Take your time mate and build a fortress like we once had and bring in the right manager ( Mick the mc ) give him the funds to buy hard working players and give us something to be proud of again.
22 Apr 2016 13:29:59
The way I read the take over story is that the villa supporters who want to take over villa work for ellison and are hoping that he will be on board aswell as he is a big sports fanatic didn't realise that they were separate parties buying also the Chinese or who ever they are have access to the books. I dunno maybe I'm wrong!
22 Apr 2016 14:12:01
Seems the reports say there are 3 parties who have been given permission to look at the books, American, fan based and Chinese so looks promising. Let's hope Mr Lerner is her for final touches.
23 Apr 2016 13:05:16
I'm wary about far east investors carsen young?, Chang with Everton e. t. c teres no track record of anything but disaster.
22 Apr 2016 11:59:11
Villa looks like its not forsale as he can't find the right buyier so untill then lerner will continue to mess it up.
22 Apr 2016 12:49:06
Nothing that has been said points to that, in fact the opposite.
22 Apr 2016 11:46:04
what do people think of lerners statement it don't tell us anythink really only waffle after that statement its either goodbye or he is defo not selling to anybody. its intresting but just waffle at the same time.
22 Apr 2016 11:40:27
Have just read Lerner's statement blaming himself for our relegation. Tell us something we don't already know.
22 Apr 2016 06:21:06
Any thoughts on a bit of support for King and Bernstien on Saturday
They have walked due to learners mis-management of the club
Mervin kings a banker
Bit tongue in cheek but would raise a smile
If the sale does go though would be good to see them sack on the board
There best intrest for the club for the club is the reason they walked.
22 Apr 2016 10:53:30
It's a shame they left, as yes they had clubs best interest at heart. But, why would we? What did they do for us? How did they change our fortunes, and or season?
It's a joke they stayed for such a short period. We are a laughing stock-again!
My question is. If they really had our best intentions at heart. Why leave the way they did? Drag us through crap in press again?
What have they done to deserve either our praise, or wrath?
Let's be honest, Bosko balaban made more of an impact.
Perhaps we should sing his name as well?
