Agreed I keep going ballistic at that.

It would be easier to form a view if we had an idea of his remit.

The sooner this evaluation and inquiry starts the better. If we can get a head start by getting the right people in before the end of the season then why shouldn't we? There will be enough to do at the end of the season so get this stuff done behind the scenes so the manager starts that period with the best chance of success.

Do you think it would stop people from being sceptical or cynical if the club told us what his remit was?

A good move to appoint  Brian and Bernstein, but once again the decision makers have got their timing wrong. Still need Fox, Almstadt, Reilly and company out of the club. I want all the shirkers gone by the start of next season - those "players" are a disgrace to the Villa name.

I want them gone too. However they all have a day to day job so just firing them leaves those responsibilities in the hands of others. Those people may not be qualified to take up those duties along with their existing roles. So firing someone doesn't make sense and it has to be planned out so there's minimal disruption. That's why they are taking the approach that they are so when these people are fired try have a succession plan in place.

Hopefully reporting back to the board that the standard in the Championship is shit and with proper investment we will stroll it

Allegedly watching Dominic Iorfa. He looked pretty good.

A new owner would surely appoint a new board so I see this as pointless.

Only if there's a buyer waiting in the wings.

Otherwise we need to be doing whatever we can to make the best possible preparations for next season. And that starts with having people above and around the manager who have a clue.

And it would depend on how competent the current board is. If you take out the obvious there isn't enough evidence to dismiss what is left, plus those that are left are new and well respected in their respective fields.
