New chairman and Lerner ramblings

[wozwebs]

I like what he says here: http://www.avfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10265~5429019,00.html

Comes across well but dare I say it so did Tom Fox on his initial interviews. At least Hollis seems to be putting actions to his words.

I like the words but here we go again we have a "model" - so not  "building something special" or developing the "project"? What is the model then, what does it look like, how will I know it is working?

Like almost every other Villa fan I want these words to ring true in the years to come and the "Villa Way" to become a positive reality not a bye-word for "joke club" - I long to be amazed...

He's talking the talk, lets see if we walk the walk

I like the sound of Steve Hollis, he seems quite ruthless. With this and the other appointments, please please let this mean we are heading in the right direction.

As we've seen with managers, getting rid of them is easy enough, it's how you replace them that matters.

I hope that Hollis succeeds, but unless Lerner is prepared to back him and the manager all of this is just rearranging the deck chairs on The Titanic.

Quite true, but the seeds of recovery must start somewhere. I hope this new board will have the powers to convince Randy we need some financial injection.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I very much appreciate his rather blunt recognition of what a mess has gone on these last few years. That in itself is refreshing.

Sounds good and sounds like Garde will be staying to me.

Well reading that it appears we will know one way or another within a week

I read "the old model was broken, Tom led the old model, bye Tom".

Wait until Evel Knievel's broke his back, then build him a new rocketbike.

You're right, but I suppose better late than never. If Lerner keeps backing the club, we'll be back.
