   Said it months ago that this season was gonna be a tough one with Big Ec in charge but my god they have just got worse and worse as the season has gone on. 

Worst thing about it is none of the players seem to give a fook either with the exception og maybe Given, Petrov and Agbonlahor, the rest couldnt care less or so it seems as a fan from his barstool 

McLeish made 2 deadline day signings in Hutton and Jenas, Hutton quite possibly looks like the worst RB I have ever seen put on a Villa shirt and he has to be up there as one of worst players in the premiership, braindead reading the game and always gives the fookin thing away, no positional sense and is just an all round clueless footballer. Jenas played 20 mins and then gets injured and was injured when he signed for them as well so that was another masterstroke by McLeish. 

While I accept that all the blame cant be pointed at McLeish a lot of it has to be, not as if he has a terrible first 11, it's the part where no one seems to give a fook that pisses me off most about the whole thing, most just happy to collect the wage and forget about how the team does.

The book stops with one man here and that is Randy Lerner, he knew when he appointed Martin O'Neill that great things were expected and to be fair he delivered, some great performances and results winning in the Emirates away that brilliant 5-1 win at home to the Blues, the great game against Everton where Ashley Young scored a cracker straight from tip off in injury time, Villa were in a great position one year and I think 7 or 8 points ahead of Arsenal around January and pole position for champs league the golden chalice and there I was expecting O'Neill to dig deep and make some big signing and then he comes along and signs Emile fookin Heskey of all players, then they went on a run of not winning till end of March or so! 

Now we all know O'Neill had a falling out with Lerner over the sale of Milner, what were the ins and outs no one knows but from this moment onwards things have gone down hill at this club, O'Neill leaves, Milner gets sold, Houllier signs up, disaster of a season the following year and then Downing and Young leave.

So with all this money you would think maybe we will get Hughes in he just resigned fromFulham and is a decent manager but no no Lerner comes out and makes McLeish his number one man a man who got Birmingham relegated twice in 3 years, some credentials to be fair! 

Now I don't know what Lerner plans to do with the club but the way I see it he needs to sell and fast, Doug Ellis would not have let this happen and it just seems Lerner doesn't give a sh*t either.

Either cough up in January with the money required or else sell the club and go back to the states, thanks for coming in and steadying the ship but it's in danger of sinking and fast unless something is done about it.
