Will Someone At Villa Please Tell Us...

Voice, I accept everything you say, you're bang on, but i've just got this horrible feeling he's going to have to spend absolutely massively just to get us around 6th again when one last push might have cracked it. Randy surely must of seen everything we do over the last few seasons and it's obvious all we needed was a striker who knows where the net is and actually moves, unlike carew and heskey. Surely he could of said to martin you've got one more big blast in the market and if you balls it up that's it. I understand all the issue with wages etc but we were that close it hurts. Look, randy is the best thing to happen to villa but i think the the latest turn of events is going to cost him more money in the long run and take a while to rectify.

I think that if k-mac proves to be good tactically then we dont need to worry about a new striker till january. Its not the ideal situation, but i think we could hold on until then. We need Gabby back quickly. Its mad to think, he, collins, davies, cuellar and sidwell are all injured. Thats 3 of our starting 11 last season.

Have to agree with the coment above. Randy does not have to tell us anything, he owns the club, he can do what he likes with it. What is more pressing is we do need to appoint a world class manager and pretty quick. If Kmd admitted he picked the wrong team yesterday,instead of just looking at it, he should have done something about it during the first half and have the courage to do so. redknapp would have done and so would have mourhino, instead he sat there looking at it the way MON used to. Accept it change it and get on with it! On that basis he failed to be strong, Kmd is out of the running because it showed lack of judgement because he lacks the knowledge and skills of being at the forefront of the top job. On this basis Bob Bradley should be ruled out too. So therefore Mr Lerner ought to get the compensation check book out and go get a manager from another club who has the pedigree of being at the sharp end. Someone who can manage the egos and purchase at least three players capable of gelling it all together again, who can roll up their sleeves and get stuck in. IMO bellamy would have done us a job for now- even if he upset a few to start with- he gets stuck in- as a replacement for gabby or as a lone striker with more pace than carew and the ability to score a few. Also adebayor would be worth pursuing assuming he was available or someone of that ilk- not easy to find granted but you gotta pay for these guys or do it on the cheap at your peril. Parachute payments will be no good for our club!! Once we conceeded the three, we looked bereft of ideas, there was no passion, agression or pride to stop them scoring again, it was a little bit embarrassing. Considering we shifted so many against chelsea i would have thought they back four would have rolled there sleeves up and shut up shop, i note that LY was part of that defence that day so maybe he aint as good as we think he is and MON was right all along, suddenly cuellar and collins look world beaters. Further more why heskey?, why bring on a guy who dont score, if Kmd gives the other youngsters a shot at it, why not the fonz?

^ If only you really were Lerner :) ... It's not difficult is it.. Pellegrni, Hitzfeld, Paul Lambert, Billic, Rijkaard etc etc .. any of those guys would love the job, so what's the ruddy hold up!?

I think the idea of bringing in new players without a manager is very bad one young grasshopper.

Last week the future was bright....this week it's the end of the known universe..lol

I don`t agree with kenner but he did make me laugh.
