Krulak is back

Hey, Apologies if someone has already posted about this but just seen that the General has been made a full member of the board.

A trusted ally and someone equally as unqualified as Lerner & Fox to manage and run a football club.  Makes sense.

[Jimbo]

FFS!

puke.

I don't even know what this means. What will it mean that he is a full time board member? He's obviously very trusted by Randy and he means well. I hope he doesn't re-engage the fans like he used to be because the last thing anyone needs is to be told how ace things will be. He's a man of significant stature but he's lacking credibility in this capacity.

I think it means he can approve expense claims up to a value of £100.00.

Just when I thought I was out...they pull me back in.

Sounds as though Randy wants an ear to the ground. I wonder what's going on behind the scenes.

Yep arrived just in time for the relegation run in and subsequent party. I hope someone tells him that relegation isn't like a round of golf where the lowest score isn't the winner.

I want to be there when he gives a rallying cry to the players like this one from March 2011 - "What we need now is to quit pointing fingers and everyone look at the Claret and Blue of our kit and the badge they are wearing and go out and kick the c**p out of the next teams we play until the end of the season."

You can imagine Richards and co staring blankly back at him.

Also bet he doesn't do one of his 'meet and greets' around the lower Holte like he used to be fond of. Methinks he might need a few marines in tow if he did.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

It could be positive.

If the General is there for board meetings he'll soon get a clear idea of how the new chaps operate.

I'm hoping he'll also hear how and why we need serious financing this summer.

If the General is convinced we finally have the right people leading the club and matters are being dealt with professionally and intelligently, who better to report back to Randy Lerner? Hopefully it will give Lerner more confidence to financially support us and speed things up.

[Ron Manager]

Could someone tell me what skills does Charles Krulak possess that would be of help to Aston Villa?  Will he be paid a salary for these skills?

Depressing in the extreme.

[cdbearsfan]

Needs to bring his mates General Disarray and Major Fuckup with him.
