New chairman and Lerner ramblings

[aj2k77]

I don't think an 18 yr old being put in any position within the club is the best thing for him considering some of the anger that will likely be displayed between now and relegation.

[Dave Clark Five]

if it's true in what capacity would he join? To me it's such a non story and if we were doing what we all hoped we were doing, that is buying a few players, playing well, scoring goals, getting points and getting out of this mess this wouldn't matter. I don't think his son would be coming in to oversee the business so let's not make it into that.

If it is true, it stinks of crass nepotism. No serious organisation puts an 18 year old on the Board.

Why don't we wait to hear the full story? And if you think nepotism doesn't exist in business, what rock have you been sleeping under? And especially sport; see the NFL as the best example possible of organizations where nepotism is rife.

There's a story online that Randy's gonna appoint his 18 year old son to the board of directors at Villa Park. You honestly think people are gonna wait for the full details to emerge before discussing it? It's fuckin mental!

Before jumping off a bridge, what I am saying is let's see 1) if it's true, and 2) if it is in what capacity? If he is appointed with significant say in the running of the club, I will gladly concur that it is utterly bonkers.

I hope that those who give a shit what you say hold you to 2).

Why have come back on here again, and what on earth does that even mean?

[aj2k77]

Randy Lerners son should not be appointed to the board in any capacity.

Your point 2). It is perfectly reasonable.

Ain't that the truth.
I'm hoping its some kind of hoax, but who'd even think of making up a story as daft as this?

Get a vote on it.

[aj2k77]

He just doesn't seem to understand how serious this is and how hard a job the rebuild is going to be. It's not a time for playing around and putting kids in as board members. Not even to make a cup of tea and I don't give a shit if it's what happens in NFL. This isn't NFL. It would be pointless and antagonistic and give a lot of people more chance to take the piss or question the clubs decision making.

The club needs to rebuild trust between the support and the hierarchy, they aren't going to do that by appointing children to the board, whatever the position.

Sorry. I didn't think that I needed your permission.

[Toronto Villa]

so you've back on to be snide? Did you outstay your welcome somewhere else?

Good idea and then you can wait to jump in and defend the decision regardless of how daft it is.

So given that you are suggesting that I am always defending the decision, what daft decision by the club did I last defend?

This is very funny.

[dave shelley]

It's late (early) but hasn't he got the General for anything his son might do?

Too busy laughing. Read this thread.

[Toronto Villa]

So again, answer the question as opposed to avoiding it. Surely as an investment banker you have an eye for detail and you won't have to dig through the thread to prove your point.
