David Bernstein Speaks.

[ASHTONVILLA]

Didn't know he was a Villa supporter, assumed he was Man City.

Talks a good game, if he walks it too then great. I am quite hopeful that the new board will run things better than the feckless Fox / Lerner combo did.

[The Laughing Policeman]

Didn't know he was a villa fan!

He's not, he supports Man City but his father and uncle were Villa fans.

So he must have Villa in his DNA. And because he was at Man City when they were in the third division we can't call him a glory hunter.

[Virgil Caine]

I particularly like the reference to the ride back being very exciting.  If I am spared the next will be my fourth and I can confirm it is sight better than being humiliated every week.

Absolutely Brian- the cloud of negativity around Villa is slowly being lifted- I am sure that the recent Board level recruits are too wise to use shallow words and know that they will be rated by their actions. All positive so far and bizarrely Im looking forward already to the new season and this time being one of the Seniors of the Revolution.

I know it's early days but there seems to be a nice mix to the people on the board at the moment. They all seem to be up for for the challenge as well.

[mr underhill]

so please you lot don't undo everything by appointing Mr Nutty Nut Nutty

[peter w]

Not just a nice mix but a wealth of talent on the board now. if only...but here we are as we go down finally putting it right. It does feel good now behind the scenes and only those in the 60s can say how this resonates against the backdrop of revolutions and Tommy Docherty coming in. It could also put a dampener on the 74th minute and banners thing. Plus, sadly, the Lerner song. Which I love. Its been great to have a new song with a great tune that isn't just somebody else's. I'll miss it when the going gets good again.

All I need personally is for Mr Bernstein never to find out that I once demolished a building with father and uncle's name on a plaque on it. 

[The Laughing Policeman]

Can anyone think of a manager out there that fits the Saunders mould that we could get? With this board that would make next season very interesting.

[Ron Manager]

Yes he is saying all the right things as Tom Fox did and Remi always has. Lets hope Bernstein, Steve Hollis and Mervyn King work together to get things right.

With of course advice on the footballing side from Brian Little  when it is needed.

Nigel Pearson sounds a lot like him tbh.

[passport1]

He can talk the talk but the time to judge will be  when they make appointments. I think Inspector Clueso could have worked out who needed sacking.

I also have reservations about Krulaks return. It doesn't sound as though Randy is giving Hollis carte blanche to make decisions.

Time will tell.

[brian green]

If the poor man goes can we have an embargo on Pink Panther jokes please.  This Garde duration has not covered anybody at the club with much credit.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

It doesn't sound as though Randy is giving Hollis carte blanche to make decisions.

Randy is also on the board.

[West Derby Villan]

Got a nice feel to it and yeah a long way to go but for the first time in a long while I'm feeling excited......

[mr woo]

Nice article which ticks all the 'tell the fans what they want to hear' boxes. You'd expect little else from the official club site obviously.


Cynicism apart, I am pleased we've moved away from the likes of Fox and Faulkner who may be great commercially in their respective fields, never filled me with confidence when genuine football (mainly managerial) choices had to be made.


Anyway, as they say, words are cheap, let's judge them on their actions.
