Not that it probably means much.

It means he's determined to get to the bottom of the issue concerning the missing box of Monster Munch.

Hmmmm....Lerner is back in town? Por quoi?

by Dions_Bald_Head Tue Aug 05, 2014 10:04 am

He's not stupid - if there's a fan storm raging then he needs to address it, if only to protect the sale.

Or it could be something else...

Hopefully we will get confirmation from the Trees later?

Hopefully, it may be something? Sure beats being so negative all the time though cheers

An ample opportunity for us to thank him for all that he has done for us. Lets shout his name loudly at Walsall so he can see how much we love him.

We've put together something for our members to kill some time on the bus/train to work, something to look at when the boss isn't about to make the 9 to 5 a bit less tedious and keep you fed with your Villa fix.

As you'll see, it has a several Villa articles, a few villa-related premier league pieces and some general premier league news. Simply click on the article that catches your eye and it'll open fully in a new window for you to read.

So have a flip through and let us know your thoughts as to whether it's something you'd like to see more of.

Yeah good read Trotters, I downloaded the flipboard app and found it all good, another way for a Villa fix is always appreciated.

by Elagabalus Tue Aug 05, 2014 10:16 am

I've heard that the Club is hoping Vlaar will put pen to paper today and Randy has flown in to sanction the purchase of a new biro.

It's very well put together - well done - 3 cheers for troy cheers

The flip book is excellent, a great idea, and well put together.
I think Randy is here to sort paper mâché Ron's contract. Oh and pick up his cheque for £80m, as that is what we have before a ball is kicked in anger just from the TV deal and Macron, that doesn't include ST sales( only 14k sold well down on every year), merchandise, shirt sponsorship etc, oh a prob to pat Lambert on the head for helping him slash costs and line his pocket, never mind Lambert is the worst manager in our history, breaking all negative records going with the lowest win percentage of any of our managers in the premier league era, just 28%.
Thankyou Randy and Paul, you have almost succeeded in reducing one of England's finest sporting institutions into a shambles that is a laughing stock, with an ambition of finishing 17th.
I'm still not convinced he will actually attend to do all this, as it can all be done via video conference call from the comfort of his own home.

Wonder if lerner shows his face at bescott ?

by B62 Villa Tue Aug 05, 2014 10:25 am

Eastie
No chance mate, he doesn't even rock up at Villa park, where he is surrounded by arse kissers in his leather seat, no chance will he pitch up at the Banks's.

by jeffvilla Tue Aug 05, 2014 10:26 am

If he cant get to Villa park I doubt that Randy will go to the Bescott

by Guest Tue Aug 05, 2014 10:33 am

Wonder what brings him to brum ?
Probably explaining why he's selling Vlaar?

by Morpheus Tue Aug 05, 2014 10:39 am

Could have posted this article from the Guardian in other threads but i hope this is the right place for it.

Describes perfectly where i am at the moment with the club.

Looking for a new CEO according to Johnny Gould, for what it's worth.

He really doesn't give a toss about the club anymore so there must be a good reason for him to arrive. Maybe he smells a big fee in the offing for Vlaar and wants to personally make sure he goes back to America again with the cheque in his pocket.

Or we could be signing someone half decent to appease the storm thats brewing?

by Villa_Dan Tue Aug 05, 2014 10:50 am

Hope it's not to look for a CEO - who in their right mind would take a job like ours when we're up for a sale and any new owners could fuck you out on your ear when they come in?

This is Randy's jet, obviously doesn't say who's on it though :-)

by Wigteke Tue Aug 05, 2014 11:07 am

Hang on a minute isn't the legendary Juan Pablo Angel hanging his boots up in 6 months or so time? Perfect timing for him to come in, take over management and save us from this nightmare!

"Pablo Angel's Claret and Blue Army"

We can all dream eh? Wink

Would explain as to why we are still not making the signings needed. Well player Lerner, you bought yourself another excuse and more time to rape the club. And with the window closure fast approaching, its "due to resignations in key positions, we were unable to do the things we had hoped to".

Bet the bloke has banned mirrors in that mansion he hides away in :evil:

Well the bad news is that if he is looking to employ a CEO then no buyer is on the immediate horizon, else there would be no need.

Luckily, its only twitter.

Its more than likely he has been made aware of the shit storm brewing and has come over to sort out the outstanding contracts. Costs him less than actually buying new players, and hopefully diffuses some of the tension and sell tickets for the Newcastle and Hull games.

Short sighted yes, but this is Lerner.
