David Bernstein Speaks.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Cynicism apart, I am pleased we've moved away from the likes of Fox and Faulkner who may be great commercially in their respective fields, never filled me with confidence when genuine football (mainly managerial) choices had to be made.

Didn't Faulkner decide to leave as Lerner blocked his recommendation in May 2014 to get rid of Lambert? I can't see that type of error being made again unless Randy has some strange illness whereby he gets sexual pleasure from paying off managers whilst devaluing his business.

Good interview that.

I also heard (true or not) Faulkner was instrumental in recruiting TSM.


I'd have stopped taking his advice after that one too.

[walsall villain]

He talks about a proper thought through plan....... Well that would be a vast improvement on the half baked plans we have recently gone with.

Quite apt that under the Villa badge was a big 0

That would explain a lot.

Part II

[Legion]

Or possibly not. OS fuck-up?

[Legion]

Temporary glitch, it seems.

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

Lerner has been a director since be bought the club in 2006.  The only one he's only just been appointed to is Aston Villa Football Club Limited, one of the subsidiaries.  He's been a director of Reform Acquisitions, the main event, and Adton Villa Limited since July 2006.  For some reason, Robin Russell was sole director of Aston Villa Football Club Limited until Fox joined, so Lerner just replaced Russell when he left.

The Football Board will take control of the football side of the Club. Mervyn King and I will chair it.

Brian Little will be part of that - as well as someone we're going to recruit.

Cheers, Risso. I like many on here thought Randy Lerner was handing over the controls to Hollis. I never imagined he would still be involved in board decisions, I thought that was the purpose of bringing the General on, to report back to him but that's obviously not the case. The OS somehow failed to mention it.

Let's get to the really important issue here: is that a syrup?

... Plus, sadly, the Lerner song. Which I love. Its been great to have a new song with a great tune that isn't just somebody else's. I'll miss it when the going gets good again.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Cardiff City were singing it a couple of seasons ago to Vincent Tan.
