Krulak is back

[Steve R]

The other thing is, the Board looks well, rather like a collection of talented financial white men of a certain age. And Our Brian as advisor.

I have to say, no problem with any of the recent appointments so far.
However...

I would be looking for the Board of Aston Villa to include men and women who hold relevant expertise and represent the Club where and when it operates, right now.

Could it expand? And, is that unrealistic?

We appear to have the finance side fairly well covered, as you point out.  Sales and marketing/commercial looks weak, which ironically is probably what Tom Fox should have been brought in to do.  I don't care whether people are young/old, white/black or male/female, as long as they're better than the shower of idiots we've suffered for so long.  It's hard to see what Yorke would add at director level though.  Some sort of club ambassador role would suit him better I reckon.

... selling end of season videos

where's Nicky Key when she's needed?

Instead of sending Krulak over here its about time Lerner himself came over and sorted the mess out that he's created by being the absent Landlord - he's a useless businessman.

With CNZ out of the door we need somebody with extremely bad dress sense to fill the void. Sorry Dwight but unless your playing, it's a no from me.

Dear God don't let him anywhere VP again!
Every time he regains a little interest and intervenes it gets worse
Let Hollis do his worst with the wasters and then set us on an even financial keel

He (the general) is probably going to work on offence and defence strategy.

I was wondering the other day what other business interests Lerner has. I know there's the restaurant in the Hamptons, but surely he doesn't have anything else that he's sunk £300m into.  I've never met someone with so much money invested in something who spends so little time actually doing anything about it.  Classic rich boy plaything behaviour.

It all looks like -pre-administration to me.

Welcome back General Krulak.

Question number one. What is the punishment in the U.S. marines for desertion?

We all have to sing a new song-'Merry Christmas, War is over'.

[prmort]

Question number two. Have you got any more of that snake oil you were selling last time you were here.?

Phone up Fransky on his WM show and tell him that.  He'd lap it up. 

[tomd2103]

Just when things seemed to moving in the right direction off the field, this clown (in football terms - I fully respect his military career) pops his head up again.  I can somewhat understand Lerner wanting one of his 'men' on the inside, but it is his 'men' that have got us in this position.   

[pauliewalnuts]

Has he quit that School he was governing?

Seems so.

Disappeared halfway through a graduation ceremony, not so much as a good bye.
