Title: The sudden departures of King & Bernstein
Post by: Sexual Ealing on February 21, 2018, 01:54:37 PM
Johnny Gould is on SquawkSport now. Apparently Lerner was pissed, he insulted them so they immediately resigned!

It doesn't fit in with Bernstein's comments : "Issues are fundamental and do not lend themselves to compromise".

98 pages on here when it was just Randy pissed? Nah, I think there was more to it than that.

Gould is doing a live Q&A with Bernstein tomorrow so he was plugging that. He said that DB had given him some titbits in advance. That was the one he spoke about.

More likely that that was the last straw, I guess.

They were probably the first grown-ups to stand-up to him and tell him no.

Fair play Randy! No point getting angry about things. Just get them in!

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....

I heard that brief snippet on Talksport earlier, although it took me by surprise so I was only casually listening not expecting any nugget of information regarding Villa. The gist I got from what was said (and very little was said to be fair, I'm guessing it was just a teaser for the live gigs) is that they were already unhappy, asked to meet with Lerner and when they did he appeared under the influence. The suggestion being his drunken state was the final straw.

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?

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."

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.........

I'll give up drinking. Well, I'll cut down. On spirits. During the week.

Maybe Lerner and Lambert used to drink together. Hence the crap decisions from both, Lerner not wanting to speak publicly and Lambert's incoherent mumbling.
