Well the appointments of Hollis and King make more sense in light of these results.

It would appear King's root and branch review needs to focus on the governance process for decision making. I can't help but feel that it's been all too easy for the likes of Faulkner, Fox, Russell, Almstadt et al to hide behind Lerner as the main figure of responsibility.  It's probably for the best that Lerner distances himself from day to day operations, to allow Hollis the space to do what is needed.  Unfortunately, that will inevitably involve austerity and tight financial control.

Has there been any word on who is replacing Russell?

Impressed by his analysis on here, the club have offered Risso the job but he's holding out for Fox's salary while the club are haggling to get him re-housed in his old Brum uni digs from the early 90's.

I agree. Surely this is where Lerner has fallen down ever since he first walked in the door.

Can we not afford a decent carpet fitter either?

What I cannot understand in any way is why Randy could possibly think that replacing Paul Faulkner with someone who had previously worked on the commercial side could make any sense at all. Even more ridiculous is the fact that he decided to pay the new fellow in excess of one million pounds more than the previous fellow which doesn't make sense on any level. He must be very very gullible man who listens constantly to the wrong people and doesn't seem capable at all of getting things right.

Steve Hollis has got a hell of a job on his hands!

He thought Arsenal were the model to follow, which is understandable if you get it right.

£27m when we got go to cup final . And a valuation of £150m and CFO resigns , .

I hate to see financial projections for when we go down , massive job to restructure club with income levels plummeting .

Lerner going to struggle to get any where near £60m he paid , if he did , he take £250m personal loss.

I do fear adminstration if he do not bounce back immediately

Cup finals aren't particularly lucrative - you'll earn more by finishing two places higher in the league and Robin Russell wasn't a particularly important figure on the board. He got offered another job and took it.
