He really doesn't.
The problem is that I could run AVFC better than Lerner.
The fact that we have an average NET spend of £ 6 million each season since 2010, and went totally cold turkey when it came to the transision of moneyball bullshit, that has truly wrecked us. ANY half capable half intelligent person would understand that such a transision must happen over many years, maybe even as much as 20. Lerner decided to do it in a couple of seasons. We went from selling Milner, Barry, Young, Downing to buying Westwood, Bacuna, Bennett, Helenius, Tonev, Sylla, Luna Lowton, Holman, Bowery, Ahmadi, Richardson, Sanchez, Gestede etc.
While we also had a few more expensive signings like Makoun, Ireland, Nzogbia, Benteke, you can argue Ireland was mostly due to completing our other sales. Nzogbia fuck knows. Makoun jesus wept. Benteke was sold once it was clear he knew what he was doing.
It isn't exactly rocket science why we are relegated in 2016.

Last night driving home from work (in Saudi Arabia) I by mistake ended up on a local radio station and they kept on going on about Aston Villa, Aston Villa but unfortunately my Arabic is so limited that I have no idea what they were saying? Hopefully some Prince was listening and has a few spare millions to buy us? I would be happy with Prince Al Waleed Bin Talah as he is always willing to prove just how rich he actually is?

Are there any money men left out there who would be interested in a under performing championship side .
Apart from the development of Birmingham , I can't see anything that makes us an attractive proposition anymore. Our assets will be stripped and when learner gets his money back , he will throw the club to the wolf's. Really think we could beven the next Leeds.
On a positive note I think Newcastle are in a worse position . They actually invested loads to try and stay in the leauge .

Newcastle aren't in worse position, they have a much wealthier owner, who still has a degree of interest in the club.
We have an owner, who even when he was interested couldn't do much right - now he has lost interest, he has asked one of mates the run the club on a part time basis - despite everything suggesting otherwise we have to hope that Hollis comes good

Newcastle are in a worse position. They are in dire straits - Ashley is owed £129m by the club and said this 4 weeks ago:
Give this a read and be thankful that our owner is stupid but not a morally bankrupt cnut
http://www.themag.co.uk/2016/04/mike-ashley-wouldnt-couldnt-essential-reading-newcastle-fans-newcastle-united/
All I say is, there is a bank account, when you have emptied it, it’s empty, don’t come crying to me for more money.
Do I regret getting into football? The answer is yes. I have had tonnes of fun in it but I haven’t been able to make the difference I wanted to in football like I have at Sports Direct. I wanted to help Newcastle, I wanted to make it better, that’s what I wanted to do. I haven’t seemed to have had that affect. Let’s hope Rafa [Benitez] can do the business and keep us up there.
I have no choice. They’ve got me, and I’ve got them. That is the way it is.

I think it's more likely that Ashley will be stone cold when it comes to recouping his money compared to Lerner. Lerner is a dislikable fucking idiot, but he's a trust fund baby. People that has worked for their own wealth is far more likely to have a brutal streak in them when it comes to finances. I'm really not sure that Newcastle is better off.
And tbh while I don't know much about him I quite like what I do know about Ashley. Seems very likeable and self made men deserves massive respect in my book.

Sounds like Randy Lerner. Only difference is Mike Ashley said it, and Randy Lerner has shown it in his actions.

If only Wang would.....

As well as the potential huge financial input, we might get to hear The Holte rocking to the chants of 'Jingle Jianlin Jewellery'...

I can't be arsed searching but wasn't he linked a while ago when rumours were hot that we were in the last stages of negotiation? And then the arse fell out of the Chinese market? I seem to recall someone saying his son might buy the club as a play toy and he's a MASSIVE douchebag?

Just found this article basically saying the Chinese Wanda group could do a lot worse than buy Villa for global promotional purposes in the main. Apparantly Man City is now 13% owned by one of their main rival companies.
It's only a suggestive story but well written and is in a publication named Finance Asia.

That was a surprisingly good read.
Make it happen. Imagine going from the shite we've seen to riches. Now that would be slightly hilarious.
And it would be funny to have an owner called Wang

With a new TV rights deal next season that is 71% higher than the previous one and will mean Premier League clubs sharing a record £5.136 billion ($7.3 billion), Aston Villa's imminent relegation could also not have come at a worse time from a financial point of view.
That's the Parkinson's paragraph for me. The one that gets me shaking my head at how Randy failed to invest properly to secure his piece of that massive pie.
He just took a chance didn't he? Gambled on us being too big to go down and saving ourselves at the last minute like we've done previously.
It's incredibly hard to imagine such an immense fuck up.

Incompetence of the highest order.
It's been awful decision after awful decision after awful decision.
Not buying a replacement striker for the guy who singlehandedly kept us up the last couple of seasons..Incompetent
Replacing the entire spine of the team with players from a different league all at the same time - Incompetent
Not listening to the then manager TS on the type of players he wanted - Incompetent
Lying to the new manager saying he would have funds to strengthen in January - Incompetent
Failing to invest anything in January - Football Suicide!!
I could go on but we all know whats happened here but basically abysmal leadership of the highest order!

I think it's time to realise we are now the same as Leeds, wolves , and all the other teams done over.
We have been down before and came back . I like this board and trust them more than learner , weather that is selling the club , or getting us comptative , I believe they want the best for us .

Read an interesting article yesterday on BBC that basically said all these 'football' men on the board is just another layer of management as ultimately the inbred fucktard is still making the decisions on spending? Well we will soon see?
No manager in the next few weeks and I suspect we are heading for our next disaster?

any talk of coming straight back up is being very neive and optomistic to the extreme.
the championship is a very hard league.
We need to steady the ship or we could find ourselves sleep walking into league 1.
please Learner you twat get the next few decisions you make regarding Villa right or we will fall beyond all recognition.

I agree that any talk of coming straight back up is premature in the extreme, we are in for some rough times ahead even if we get everything right which seems unlikely based on past attempts!
