In essence it's a gamble , he is gambling someone will buy us quickly.He walks away tail between legs and new owners move club forward.The problem is if no one comes in for us we spend the new few months in limbo land ,end up hiring whoever is cheap and without a club to manage us with a squad of misfits ..and likely loan signings Black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 If Lerner had any competence he should have sold up in the summer of 2014 when after Lambert's 2nd season- in which to be fair to Lambert he kept us up whilst cutting the wage bill. Instead we signed Joe Cole and Kierian Richardson and barely stayed up. And have been firefighting ever since. I just can't see why Lerner is going to get what he sees as a acceptable offer for Villa as a Championship side when he could have sold as a Premier League side in the last 2 years, and hasn't. He is going to skim the money off and wind the club down, and either we will get lucky and get promoted straight away, or he will sell up to a local business consortium in about 3 years time when we are in League One.

Or maybe it's Krulak, I wouldn't be surprised if Randy isn't fully aware of what's going on right now. Imagine after ALL the bullshit over all these years and it's Krulak who ends up playing the Grim Reaper. Probably should've known it would come down to this. It was laughable from Day One, but tolerated only because the future WAS bright. But Krulak is not funny, cute, clever or remotely suited for the position he enjoys. **** it all to Hell. One of the letters specifically mentions communications with the owner. He knows exactly what is going on and Hollis is just his puppet brought in to do the dirty work.

In fact it might be the exact reason footballers do it as opposed to other drugs, because it' so **** harmless. Also, if you called it hippy crack anywhere you'd get laughed at.It would be like asking a weed dealer for some Wacky Baccy What do you ask for?

MrDuck Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I had high hopes for the club under the new board. I'm actually a little surprised that even Randy has managed to screw things up quite so quickly. Oh well, just as long as we still have Krulak.

Popular Post Richard Posted April 18, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2016 Mervyn King is a massive fan . Bernstein is a professional football man with a reputation to protect. They have both reviewed the club and would have great skills , experience and knowledge to assist any new owner, especially in the short term. That would be invaluable. If there was a sale and a new owner they would not be leaving now, that is also clear from mervyns letter . He wants a new owner he would be motivated to help out. This is not about potential new ownership which I happen to think is a huge smokescreen . Weve had leaked stories about delays in appointing managers whilst a budget is confirmed, we know they have had discussions with Lerner and now they resign being unable to do their role. Bernstein was chair of the football board he was responsible for appointing a new manager , God knows where we are with this now. It's pretty obvious that part of the changes they wanted and we're putting in place was a proper managerial appointment. This is impossible with insufficient budget . 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
