Yes dark days indeed, its now a slow death to the end of the season.

Randy Lerner and his board should be ashamed of the mess they have made with Aston Villa FC.

A total disgrace.

Remi Garde hung out to dry, for goodness sake get the guy a striker and a defender.

I now believe that Garde will resign at some point if he lasts until i'll be amazed.

We need a plan next season, Nigel Pearson in charge please, sorry to sound like a cracked record.

As fans we now need to vote with our feet between now and the end of the season.

I know this seems harsh, but I actually think you guys need to be relegated. You need to so you can start again, clear out the overpaid dross you have like nzogbia etc and rebuild with a younger hungrier team.

West ham had to do it, they got relegated, had a mini clear out, and came back up. Had a solid three years in and around mid table while they built their squad up a bit and then changed to a better manager and the quality in their squad is improving all the time.

I feel if you survive by the skin of your teeth again that nothing much will change, you'll sign a few players who aren't up to scratch and you'll continue to struggle next season.

A year in the championship could be a blessing in disguise.

Pearson won't come. Almost said as much. Said it had to be the right club for him with the right owner and management. Does that sound like us? No way.

The way we are at the moment any defeat is a blow to the spirits. However, I'm hoping against hope that the team we put out on Tuesday won't be affected by it. With the team which has played the last few games before today I reckon we can at least get a draw against West Ham. If by some miracle we actually score a goal or two then we might even win it. A long shot I know, but I haven't given up hope, yet. West Ham and Norwich will define the rest of our season.

In the longer term, however, we have no future until Randy and his sidekicks go. There has to be real ambition in any club. What the current lot is doing is managing failure.

This lot will fail even if we end up in the Championship. There will be some "plan" which aims to be successful without actually spending any money. It will of course fail.

Dark is being kind its shiiittte

You all laughed when the Blues went through the mixer with the hairdresser in charge destroying the club and putting them in the same position that Randy is potentially putting your lot in now.

I'm not at all suggesting that RL is as crooked as the ting tong hairdresser, but yours is the case of another couldn't give a monkeys chairman putting your club in a dire position.

Careful what you wish for with all these sugar daddie millionaire / billionaires coming along. Remeber the good days of Randy doing up that pub by the ground and buying you all pints and being your bestie.

Oh well.

Blues certainly aren't enjoying their moment in the sun paddy, they are still in a bigger stink hole than villa.

I'm sorry you have me down as a blues fan after my comment, or maybe you don't I'm not entirely sure either way.

PS...

I am still waiting for the days (counting the hours) when the village idiot from russia (abromovich) and the abu dhabi royal family get bored of chelsea and man citehh accordingly because they will eventually.

Sadly whilst I can see Fyodr getting bored (or getting a polonium needle in the bum), I cant ever see the Saudis getting bored pouring money into Manchester.

Football needs restructuring or else the Sky Clubs will be top for ever more.

In the meantime.. come on Leicester! You can do it!!! At least they are backed by different billionaires for a change anyway...

Yeah, spoke to soon about the abu dhabi lot didnt I what with paying pep a small kingdom to go there...

Anyway sorry, this is your villa page, not the plastic mancs page.
