I haven't posted on here for a very long time but read the posts daily. As a lifelong Villa supporter, and always will be, it saddens me greatly to see what has happened to the club. For me the problems lie much deeper than the managers we have had and subsequently sacked. There is one common denominator - Randy Lerner. He is like a poison to Aston Villa. it is he who needs to go with the rest of his aids. He has had the opportunity to sell us but is holding out for more money, well that is surely about to backfire because if we are relegated he is going to lose much much more! We need an owner who is actually passionate about football and who doesn't just see us as a 'hobby' that he is now so obviously tired of. No matter who we bring in now I feel things will not improve much because the deadwood staff are still in charge - CLEAR OFF LERNER, AND GIVE US OUR CLUB BACK!

The problem is mate, he wants to go but can't flog us
It's really not as simple as Lerner "clearing off" ; it's about someone coming in who wants to buy us
You say he wants to sell (true) but is "holding out for too much money" yet there is no way you could know that
Don't get me wrong. I'm no apologist for Lerner. But I'm equally not a fan of reducing complicated problems to simplistic solutions .

Old Faithful you are stealing my lines but glad to note that someone else has a dislike of Lerner.
I have posted for several months, years, that the cause of our problems lies with the person that has been present all of the time.
Lerner has to grow a pair and show that his desire is as demanding as ours or just give us our club back.
He is a mean yank and has strangled the life out of our club.
Looking at the situation with Sherwood one must wonder how Lambert put up with it all for his tenure at our club.
It would appear that the board regard our club as a selling club if you are to believe what we read in the dailys. Hence lots of low price buys that we're to be developed and then sold.
Shi. Recruitment policy, shi. Money to move us forward, shi. Attitude towards us the fans.

Oldvillan. You seem to have the notion that we all love Lerner on here, the fact is we don’t.
Most of us know, and have done for a long time that he is the cause of our current situation.

What is it with people saying 'I told you so' or 'I knew this would be the case'??
Ffs, we all want the best for villa, and through thick and thin, try to stay up for what ever fight comes our way.
These negative posters are like a poison, and its infectious.
'I knew when Lerner came he would fail!'
'I knew when sherwoods came he would take us down!'
'I knew we shouldn't of got lambert!'

Jesus get a grip.

We ALL want the yank away, a billionaire to come and save us.
Well done you for stating the obvious

My sentiment exactly Flackie
Well said.

What about the Fantastic Mr Fox, how come he escapes any criticism?
I think the atmosphere at VP has also contributed to our decline, we used to sing even when things were tough, I remember some great songs even when Leary, Gregory and Little we're in charge, we have lost our humour.
Perhaps if we sing to Lerner he might get the message.
Anyway following tonight's results I have just backed us to win at Southampton and to win the cup!
Putting the bottle back in cupboard though before I'm tempted to think about winning the league.

Seriously, what is going on at Villa Park. I feel it is now getting beyond a joke. Roy Keane as PL's number 2? REALLY! Does anyone believe he would work below Lambert for a start, because I don't. Is this yet another cover up. Possibly so. Why would Villa appoint Roy Keane when a new owner would more than likely want to bring in his own team and staff of his own choice. Are Villa already sold? Have they actually appointed Keane as a replacement for Lambert but as usual do not want to make it official. Nothing makes sense that;s for sure. I can't keep up with whatever is going on at Villa Park any more. All I will say is 'lose all of the cloak and dagger stuff Randy and just be honest for once' We as supporters at least deserve that.

Well I for one wouldn't want Lerner to do a u-turn. He isn't interested in Villa and I don't think he ever has been really, and that has been proved by his constant absence. He isn't passionate about the club, or football for that matter, he isn't bothered where we are in the Premiership, just as long as we survive then he will be happy because that's all he needs. We will never improve, and never make a challenge for Europe while we are in his hands. I have never known a more unenthusiastic owner in all my life. The restrictions he has placed on the club have been absolutely ridiculous and he constantly leaves us in the dark about what is happening. Find a new owner Randy and take that joke of a manager with you!

Why oh why doesn't Lambert just walk. Nobody wants him, he's useless, can't manage a football team to save his life and has taken Villa right down into the gutter, yet still he remains at Villa Park, what is going on! I am seriously worried for Villa now, I can just see it, no new owner, no money, no quality players, another season fighting relegation I am seriously losing the will to live. Why doesn't he go and manage Celtic, that would be perfect for him, I for one can never understand a word he says anyway, probably a good job really, I would be tearing my hair out no doubt! Somebody buy us please and send Lambert packing!
