Yes says all the right stuff without cheesy cliches. Fingers crossed it works out and he has a positive effect.

Thanks for posting the link.

I'd rather have the board we have in place now than have been taken over by a bunch of unknowns. Hollis just needs to keep Randy at arms length and let the new team get on with things!

Dandruff shampoo's are cheap these days David (or an unfortunate suit design) :)

Good comments though!

This is what gets overlooked sometimes - it doesn't matter who does it as long as it gets done. All that matters is that the club is run properly and if it is, the owner's name is irrelevant.

I'd add to that, that we clearly still need Lerner's money (which, despite shouty shouts to the contrary, he's clearly been backing is with).

Beat me to it Mr. Woodhall and reading between the lines it's what Bernstein is saying.

I've only just realised that Randy is now a board member, along with the General, Mervyn King, David Bernstein and chaired by Hollis.

Didn't know he was a villa fan! I like what he says. I really think that the team that has been assembled is going to take the club in the direction we all long for. This a seriously heavyweight board that has been assembled. Bring it on.

I particularly like the reference to the ride back being very exciting.  If I am spared the next will be my fourth and I can confirm it is sight better than being humiliated every week.

He's not, he supports Man City but his father and uncle were Villa fans.

Randy wants to be kept at arms length, he doesn't want to get involved, he just wants someone else who is capable to do the job he doesn't want to do any more
the problem is he has made mistakes with the personal in the past and it keeps coming back on to him he just wants someone to take it off him so he can get on with what he gets on with

interfering is not what he does or wants to do

Hmm well spotted, that is a good way to look at things.

This is what gets overlooked sometimes - it doesn't matter who does it as long as it gets done. All that matters is that the club is run properly and if it is, the owner's name is irrelevant.

It goes along with the argument about Randy's attendance at games. If the club was being run well, like Spurs as an example, whether Randy or in Spurs' case Joe Lewis attends or not would be irrelevant.
