Let's hope these guys are the advance guard of a new owner.   King certainly is no fool.

Good appointments. A bit of affirmative action. I hope King and Hollis are putting some structure in place that will see us stabilise next season. We will need a new manager and a clear plan of action as far as player acquisition goes.

Don't get the excitement.

Bernstein is another Man City supporting accountant who is knocking on a bit.

Little is there in an advisory capacity and heavily outnumbered by the non football people. He will be patronised, marginalised and bullied by the others. I expect him to walk within 6 months.

Thus was a pathetic attempt by Hollis et al to win a small PR battle with the fans.

Utterly pathetic.

I don't know how it all works upstairs but do Little, Bernstein, King and Hollis have the power to sack Fox or does Lerner have the final say?

Very suspicious that this may be an attempt to placate the demonstrators, I hope not because these are the people we should have had at the club at the start of Lerners reign.

Allegedly watching Dominic Iorfa. He looked pretty good.

I wonder if Little's going to take over Paddy Reilly's mandate and be head of recruitment?

Let's face it its the timing that stinks As ever with Lerner all decisions are reactionary rather than proactive.

Any hint of supporter unrest seens to put the wind up him and usually leads to yet another hapless hopeless decision.

The thought that we have been waiting the entirety  of Lerners reign for this group of individuals to arrive in order that the club can be properly structured is frankly ridiculous.

Little has no power whatsoever. He's just an adviser who will be largely ignored.

We were discussing Sir Brian's actual status - he is not a Board member and does not have any voting rights as I understand it? Starts to look like flim-flammery to stop the protest/s

You have no reason for knowing that that so how about knocking off the default 'Whatever they do is wrong' reponse and accepting that for once they've done what they've needed to do for years and it might turn out to be the first step on the road to recovery?

I expect there to be an unveiling of an ex player prior to every home game.
Let's hope we start winning soon as there won't be room in the Upper Trinity to house them all.

You mean, apart from the wealth of football administration experience, like heading up the national F.A. and being Chairman of a big club in a similar position to that which we are about to find ourselves?
