Randy Lerner

[paul_e]

I blame the lawyers, if you out right state that you're sorry and take all the blame then any legal action has that to use against you so always have to give yourself wiggle room. Anyone with media training or who's running a company should know just that so these half apologies are unavoidable, I had to go through a training session about this myself a couple of years ago as part of us moving heavily into the US market and the basis was never offer anything that hasn't been asked for, never agree to anything without it being in writing (and then make sure it's reviewed before you reply) and never take responsibility for anything goes wrong, either personally or as a company.

Before any resident legal folk get upset, I don't blame you individually, I blame the overly litigious abomination that a large amount of your profession has become.

I'm not arguing with any of this but it would suggest that Lerner's semi coherent, rambling, mystical, nonsensical, non-apology of a post on the website was actually proof read by his lawyers? Fuck me, his choice of advisors is worse than his choice of managers.

And I don't care whether he apologises or not, it's all his fault anyway and he can't fuck off soon enough for me.

Given he is a qualified lawyer I'd suggest not but that he does know enough to, much like a politician, ramble on without ever actually fully addressing the issue.

I'd forgotten about Randy's GCSE in Law.

Or maybe he's a fully qualified lawyer who's registered on the US Bar.  As I've said before it's very easy to call him thick but being incapable of running a business and being thick are very different things.  Incompetent is a much better term for him.

I still reckon he's thick. Any old billionaire's son can get a decent education

Has his mom woke him up yet for his boiled eggs and cocoa pops?

Hmm. Thick or incompetent? It's a tough one. I'm going for stupid. Shall we have a poll?

Something I didn't realise until recently is that whilst he was going through school, his dad wasn't a billionaire. The money came when RL was in his 20s.

Jeez.... The founder of AMEX..American Express...suddenly made a financial breakthrough from millionaire to BILLIONAIRE when Randy was in his 20's....what a lot of trollope.

Where was Randy educated..local schools..nope.
Did he afford Uni...yep
Did he learn to Ski and play Polo in his teeage years, before his dad went from a millionaire to a billionare?

YEP !

Did he inherit his dad's business acumen ?
~ or just remain a 'friendly guy' with lots of friends and social life... and leave everything about 'sordid business and THINKING"...to other guys ?

NO to the first
YES to the second.

For a pristine debate, the possibiltiy of Randy inheriting $900 million dollars at age 19...or
$9 BILLION at age 25 is pretty superflous, when we are discussing the ability and acumen of the owner of our desires.

The man /child / idiot who can davastate us through his ignorance and continual ineptidude.

Not to worry...he didn't know that his priviledged life and 'failed' education would net him
100 times his expectancy when he was a teenager....might have took the foot off the gas in terms of "BOTHERING"

I'd have thought that somebody with such a demonstrably sneery attitude towards the subject would know that MBNA (which Al Lerner turned into a huge company) and American Express (which is over 150 years old and nothing to do with the Lerner family) aren't the same thing.

Having endured his interminable posts before, you have higher expectations than me.

If there's any reason why you can't write in the same way as everyone else let us know. Otherwise a basic standard of literacy would be appreciated.

[Richard E]

I can safely reassure everyone that there is not a lawyer in the world who would have advised Randy Lerner not to apologise for relegation for legal reasons.

Other than Randy himself, maybe.

He doesn't strike me as the sharpest tool in the box.
