It'll have fallen by comfortably more than 19%.

Complete unfounded speculation but why do I get the feeling that Garde has somehow gone to Hollis and said "them or me" regarding Fox and the other two? Off course Hollis might think clean sweep and dump Garde also, but it would be some upheaval. Not saying we don't need it. The presence of Fox just seems so poisonous and watching him last night gave the impression of a bloke who couldn't give a shit just waiting for a payoff.

The speculation that Hollis left his seat when the abuse at Fox cranked up suggests he will be gone sooner than the end of the season. Riley is untenable and the other guy is offering nothing. Hopefully Hollis is exactly what we need, someone who recognises that the board needs people with proven records of getting things right at a club to make the most important thing, the football, actually work.

I can't see how he won't ditch Garde too. A clean sweep will be had I reckon.

At the moment I wouldn't be against a clean sweep. Maybe we need it. Though I would keep Garde as long as he gets everything he wants to really turn the squad over and bring in his own team. Mind you you'd have to think Villa being in the Championship makes us far less attractive to the coaches he wanted to bring in. Either way Fox simply had to go.

Still not sure how Fox is guilty of doing anything apart from following orders

He sanctioned the burning of £50m this summer on the say-so of a couple of unqualified charlatans.

Bit like Lambert then

Yeah i'm sure Randy had no input in that... the fact is fox is there because Lerner wanted him there. And so were the charlatans. They could be utter crap at their jobs but seeing the model of buy cheap/young, sell expensive/at their peak doesn't work most of the time even when clubs are good at it, its not surprising. If it did work everyone would use it, and teams like Wimbledon would still be in the premiership.

heh quite. And using the same analogy, any of his better generals who realised Hitler was batshit mental were replaced by people who went along with him. I'm not saying fighting on two fronts is as mad as employing TSM or chasing OGS but Adolf was nearly as mad as Randy

It's no wonder that we are in such trouble if a very average late 80s/early 90s indie band really are running our transfer policy.

You genuinely think the Chief Executive of a £100m business has absolutely no say in how things are done?

I believe he just did what Lerner okayed. Like Faulkner before him

If we were Marks and Spencer Fox would be prosecuted.
