King - Bank of England guy?
Bernstein - I can't remember who he was.

We got through so many Board members under Lerner, I think I've forgotten most of them.

They came in with Steve Hollis to try to a bit of damage limitation and repair the relationship between club/fans in the 17 point season which obviously was near impossible. Wasn't Adrian Bevington part of that aswell?

He said he insulted them so they resigned on the spot.

"Were you looking a my bird? You two and me, outside now!" (Hic)

"You've got shit shoes on, you shitty-shoed bastard."

Or perhaps:

"That's a p**f's car."

"What do you even mean by that?"

"P**f's car. Car for p**fs. P**fsmobile."

I was golfing with a Cleveland Browns supporter in Florida yesterday (oooh, get me!). He said the fans didn’t like Lerner because they rarely saw or heard from him. I said it’s funny you should say that....

Because it was so much better before Lerner and has been just amazing after.

Lerner deserves a lot of shit being flung his way but Browns fans blaming him endlessly makes me laugh. He’s was no better or worse that any owner they’ve had in many, many, many years.

Yes. And it wasn’t much better. And before that Art Modell who has modest success but moved the team to Baltimore who then not many years after won the Super Bowl. And before that McBride etc. It’s made no difference. They’ve flirted with mediocrity, embraced failure. They are 1-31 in their last 2 seasons yet I’m sure they’re still blaming Lerner.

It was good of Randy to bring all that he learnt at the  Browns to Villa Park.

Pissed? Might explain most of his decisions in the last few years of his chairmanship.

Every time I picture Randy now I mix him up with the guy in foxcatcher. This does nothing to change that.

I reckon they're still being paid by Randy to spread fake news to improve his image. I thought he was was just a complete idiot before this. Now in my mind he's.........
