mmmmm wheres everyone that slagged learner off gone,funny how now everyone knows just how much randy has put into the club its all gone quiet on here.
110 mil lose in 3 years after everything has come in and gone out he has still lost 110 mil now the only thing he has really had anything to do with is the 12mil spent on the managers and backroom staff but most of the other 98 mil was spent by o neil the messah(not)but most people on here love him strange how we dont know fact but still say what ever comes into our tiny brains

Not an O'Neil fan, and not a quiet fan. Who allowed half of the England team tonight to leave Villa. Somewhere along the way Lerner would have known that these players were being sold, after all he is the owner. His "Browns " are rubbish even though he has spent a lot of moneyon them. While he is at VP we are never going anywhere except down. If Villa are lucky enough to stay up this season then how much money is he prepared to lay out on new players? Not a lot I suggest. Cahill, Young, Downing, Milner, Barry should have been encouraged to stay, by hook or by crook.
I am not anything but a fan and over 65 years of supporting I have seen many poor Villa sides, but this one must rank with the worst. McCliesh can only do what he can with what he has and the rest is up to the players. Ranieri once said of his Chelsea side that there were to many millionaires in the dressing room, and that they only played when they wanted too. Sound familiar.

Agree5 Disagree1

Ok smartarse yes Martin oneill spent the money (didn't like him) and yes I will still slag Lerner off because he gave oneill the money to spend so does that not make Lerner to blame or did oneill take the money without Lerner knowing doubt it so before you come on here having ago at all those villa fans who care about the club, get your facts right as you only make yourself look stupid !!!!!!!

Agree4 Disagree0

Your the onlyone looking stupid mate got to semi agree with the 1st post,if by every fans expectation we bring in the best manager available in o neil(fact we all thought he was awesome)then he asks for money to spend on players that he thinks will take us to the next level then we cant slag off learner for supporting o niel and supplying the funds.
But we can blame o neil for spending money hand over foot on average players at best,remember he let players like cahill,gardener,ridgewell and davies for peanuts and brought in people like davis,sidwell,reo-coker,heskey and company on stupid wages and massive fees.
he did make some very good signings like young,petrov,carew but these were few and far between and it cost us 110mil debt

Agree2 Disagree1

Yes I know what your saying but what I was trying to say is , yes it's great the the owner backed the manager but oneil wasted a lot of money of which Lerner agreed for him to spend surely the purchases and the wages are sanctioned by the owner ie 10 mil for Davies plus 60000 grand a week agreed by Lerner waste of money both men to blame . I would of kept Cahill and paid him more money saving 10 mil. Lerner is mention to be a business man so they say. that's not good business so again that's why I blame Lerner

53.9 m loss taking in bents fee but not those incoming from the young & downing deals!
we have decreased bank borrowing,increased total income
and commercial income and also have severley cut our wage budget!
To me this is great news for the club off the feild and it had to be done.

Rather be in this position that we are in at the moment then that of rangers and portsmouth.

Well done Mr Lerner !!!!!!!!!!!

Read the papers this morning. Villa has lost nearly £110 million over three years. Not a good position to be in so take the wool out of your eyes and wake up. I have supported villa for over forty years and travelled all over this country and Europe to support them. The club doesn't give a damn about us fans anymore. Lerner and Mccleish out now.

Agree1 Disagree0

To give a damn about us fans what are villa meant to do ?

Agree0 Disagree1

Villa should remember that it's the fans that buy the merchandising and putting bums on seats that keep this club going. It doesn't survive in tv money alone which will start to dry when we go down. Villa and Lerner should remember the history our club has always had with the fans and start respect ting us a bit more. Stop treating us like morons. The attendances are already dropping and they can't give tickets away.

our profits are poor, and that reflects our league position, team play, managment and board. All i can say is get behind the team, mcleish will always be a tyrant in claret and blue... i dont want championship football but the way our seasons panning out i can see championship football becoming more of a reality


And 2 seasons ago we were in europe???
