Hats off Randy Lerner
Just to prove that not all foreign owners are fucking divvys, Randy Lerner (Villa owner) apparently arranged for a club shirt with "mellberg" on the back to be placed on every seat in the away end today for the travelling villa support. Along with a letter of thanks for their support throughout the season.
Nice gesture from a decent bloke, especially given that Mellberg is due to leave the club in the summer too. And to cap it all off, Villa qualified for the inter-toto cup today. Well done. But as we all know, the Midlands "doesnt do football"

Re: Hats off Randy Lerner
Probably just trying to get rid of surplus stock before he leaves.

Re: Hats off Randy Lerner
You've got to respect the man really, not just for the gesture yesterday but for supporting and letting the manager get on with things his way, he's not come the big i am like that twat at Anfield and has generally kept himself out of the headlines. A good season for Villa and i think an even better one next.

Typical Yanks, trying to take credit for someone elses good gestures.
