What ever happens regarding Sherwood or an incoming manager we will still have the same people at the top.
They are unambitious and unwilling to give the needed funds for us to improve.
As a unit they don't deserve us the fans, the ones that pay there dues every week. We could stay away but what use would that be in the current situation.
We could raise placards demanding the board "do one" and make us all happy.
At the end of the day the guy at the top is trying to sell the club but who will buy a failing business that will require £millions to put right on top of £150/2008 to buy.
We are shafted, no bones about it.
Where it will end up is anybodies and it will not be pretty.
This ain't doom and despair it is fact.

Nothing new said there Oldvillan, and not a Rumour as listed, it is as you say fact.
And again we all know how you feel about Lerner, none of us are happy, but the board is the board, the owner is the owner, and that’s it
So what is the answer! We can do nothing about the board, but we can support the team.

We have spent money this year and I don't think we are far off. We are not a failing business now but that's exactly what where !
Can not see what more lerner can do apart from selling, he's appointed new executives manager coaching staff and team so money is being spent and we are 8 games old, okay we doing badly on the field atm but at least we not getting spanked fives and eights lol keep faith as we do have some talent and it will come good!

I think your right, we have some great talent.
However, and this is the point that we all seem to be missing, and myself included, until the penny dropped on sat.
We are tactically inept.

Answer me these questions!.

1) if you don't shoot, how do you score??
2) if you constantly slow play down, how do you catch a team in the break?
3) if you wait for opposition to always get back to position, or their formation, how do you ever really beat them man for man?
4) if your losing 1-0 in the 93 minute, and you get a corner, with both centre backs, and a striker which on paper is best attacking player in country with his head, why would you side foot to edge of area?
5) if your manager, eight games in to a new season, after a full pre season, thinks the team is not fit enough, who's fault is it?
6) if your owner, a 'huge' fan, supporter, and guy totally driven to driving the club forward can't be bothered to attend matches, what inspiration gets the supporters there?
7) if the owner knows what benefits come by staying in the league this year above any other, how can he let this happen??

I actually think the playing staff we have at min is the best we have had since before o'niel, but I also think the tactical awareness is the worse. I think the whole team is petrified of making a mistake, and ts doesn't have it in him to turn it for the best.

I think our owner has left us, and we with him in stewardship are a dead man walking.

We need a revolt. Lerner out, sadly Tim out, (although thank you Tim, last year, in parts was amazing) and big Sam in by Christmas. Or we will be adrift.

Sorry

I think he deserved a chance, and after the way we turned a corner last year, earned the right to have a go.
But we need to be honest, as does ts, and admit things need to change.

tbh don't think big sam is the answer and i for one am glad he gone to sunderland he didn't do nothing at bolton,newcastle,westham yea he prolly kept them in the prem but that's it. We need someone who is going to turn villa park into a fortress make teams think when they come to villa they are not getting an easy ride someone who can bring the best out of the talent that we know we have. While brendon rogers is not the worst in the world i don't see him as any different from sherwood we need the board to be a bit more ambitious go for an anchelotti or a de boar someone of that calibre all i'll say is pray villa sort it before mcClaren gets the bullet!!
