I've been wondering, how often does the entire board actually sit down at a conference table, in person, and discuss Aston Villa Football Club? The board is ostensibly comprised of astute businessmen, some of whom have football knowledge...but does Lerner actually hold board meetings? Or is it just him and Faulkner stumbling around in the dark? Do the board members understand the ramifications of relegation? Are they even aware that we are in a relegation fight? Would a responsible board member advise Lerner not to spend much this window? It's clear that Lerner is clueless and Faulkner is a close second, so who amongst the brass should we have confidence in? These are the same clowns that agreed to PAY Small Heath for Alex McLeish. The situation upstairs is as much a shambles as the team is. This is not a professionally run football club.

The Villa game is on live on FSC, if you want to skip the pub

Ok, let's make it midnight, and see if we get two more

haha, great photo. Has he been sacked yet?

Bizarre story

Looks like orange ball time in England?

Nice. I figure Western PA. is not a soccer-friendly area... Can you get Fox Soccer Channel in Pittsburgh?

Ok, let's get 2 more confirmed, and we'll crank it up

I was expecting at least one new signing to be ready to play this weekend, but he's sending the same sorry side out again with no additions. West Brom have been having a few defensive issues of late, but as long as we can't score any goals, they shouldn't be too worried. 1-0 to them. Where do you live, Kwan?

Anyone up for a speed game at 11PM GMT?

Owning Aston Villa is a vanity project for Lerner, something to keep him occupied and have something to talk about at cocktail parties.

If Lerner doesn't want to sell up, maybe he could consider taking on partners who can inject some cash into the operation. Bit of a daydream, I know, but what the hell.

It's baffling to me that Lerner is being a miser when he just sold the Browns for close to $1billion...he's willing to risk Premiership status and it's riches for what? Spend some money, you hammerhead!

Such a shame. To piss away your career on lager....

Bennett has been poor, but I think he's got the talent to be a good player. I think he's a victim of being rushed into first team action, when ideally, he should have been slowly bled. I just hope his confidence is not completely shot when all is said and done.

Erm, he'll want a massive pay raise, and we ain't the club that gives massive pay raises. Next.

When I was a kid, the was a vicious little Beagle at the end of my street. The **** even bit me once. Awful dog.

Jack Russels are supposed to be decent apartment dogs. They're the only small dog breed I like. Big dog personality in a tiny frame.

Looks like a personal beef, not a random mass shooting. The shooter killed an administrator and then himself.

Does the top donator get to ride shotgun?
