Randy Lerner

[Chris Jameson]

Randy,

You're alone in the pack
You're feel like you wanna go home
You're feeling life's finished, but you keep going on
The reason is there
You won't find it till you've been and gone cos you're living a hoax!
Someones got you sussed!

(Chris J will understand)
 

Got it!

The closing to that statement doesn't imply an imminent sale.

[AV89]

Seems the usual self-centered waffle which doesn't tell us anything.  No word about this week's resignations or the loyal staff who will soon be looking for new work.

Totally pointless statement.  Why not get over here and try taking ownership of this shambles? That's better than feeling sorry  for yourself

There is no sale.  I can't believe people are falling for this spin yet again.

The sub-editor of the web site obviously went in the redundancies.

That reads terribly.

If my boss published statements like this through the media, I think I would take the piss out of him with my co-workers.

Just not using company e-mail. Note for next time King and Bernstein!

[Trinitymiddle]

He even admits that Villa having been getting away with it for the last few seasons - "How many seasons after all can one hold on and hope to slide through?", talking like he had no control over the situation??

Utterly bizarre

I've said this before, but with every passing year, Acorns on the shirt looks less and less like corporate altruism and more and more like commercial ineptitude, i.e. the inability to wring a few million out of someone.

Looks like a goodbye statement.

Bloody well hope so.

I'd rather he stuck to his last promise of delegating authority to the board and letting them get on with what they specialise in, rather than stick his oar in and force experienced operators out.

[DrGonzo]

All I've learned from that, is it's going to be a terrible first novel.

Can't be as bad as 50 shades or Dan Brown...

That's kind of what I meant... Of course he'll keep it vague. He's not going to dress in sackcloth and ashes and let people queue up to throw stuff. He's not going to get into specifics about Bernstein and King or the redundances. And, although he says the buck stops with him, he's definitely not going to apologise! Even if that was what he wanted, he'll have people telling him not to.
The last thing the club wants is the fucker over here trying to run the place!

[Witton Warrior]

So he's known it was going tits up for years but had no idea how to set it right?
Quite a few people made quite a few suggestions Randy.
He does himself no favours does he...

[avfcpg]

Looks like a parting statement to me...how often does he release statements..very rarely.

You know when you complain to someone about something and they turn the conversation on it's head so you end up listening to their complaints?
