Guest av1 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Maybe Lerner is hoping he can get a sub from some of his banking mates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danceoftheshamen Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Well i like the appointment i have to say. Maybe just maybe a ray of hope that there is a serious aim to start afresh and get this club back on track. Welcome Mervyn! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post villanmac Posted February 4, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 4, 2016 Proper Villa fan with all the credentials, great appointment. Compared to running the BoE villa will be like a corner shop to him. Hopefully he can get the tossers to stop running it like one. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyjavfc Posted February 4, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted February 4, 2016 Good appointment and gives me a hope that the board recruitment is still ongoing a a football brain will be employed soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Excellent appointment. Should he not have been Chairman? He is the calibre of man I would have expected as Chairman, not the distinctly underwhelming Hollis. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been here about 3 minutes and I must've missed whatever he's done :| 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The redundancies he has made today being an example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The silver lining being that the more costs he cuts, the more attractive the club are to purchase and the sooner* we get to new owners... * soon hopefully being before we hit League Two 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Wasn't a fan of his tenure at BoE (well, specifically during the financial crisis), he didn't even know what the term 'moral hazard' meant, but obviously very qualified so can't really complain.

useless Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 The club have been making people redundant for a while now, long before Hollis arrived. Unless he was already working for the club, before he was officially announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be perfectly honest mate I haven't looked, I saw the posts in the 'Backroom staff' thread and just took it as red. I'll have a look for the story.

rubberman Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I'm sure it's needed and King seems like a decent guy to have on the board, but I can't help thinking we'd have been better of spending his and Hollis's salary on a striker in the short term.
