Lerner is like my arse… Full of shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can't do it due to a sale there's no point hanging around. It also puts more pressure on Lerner to get a sale done. Which I think was the gist of the resignation interview. We have 3 interested parties by most accounts If Lerner isn't going to invest he has to give someone else the chance. The negativity is that bad at the minute anyone would be an improvement.

All the previous "sales" didn't happen. Why would they leave before this one was signed and sealed? I suspect their reasons for leaving are unrelated to a sale or they'd have just said so. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. But if the sale was so advanced that they left within a month then why did he appoint them at all? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJ100 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 They might have left because Hollis said one of the revenue raising ideas was to pretend do a takeover to get ticket sales, making their positions untenable as they didn't want to bullshit the fans!

How many fans do you actually think buy a season ticket in the hope we get taken over?? Virtually zero! It's a stupid argument. Or have you bought one on that basis? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
