They said it on WM.  And seeing as he has been a summariser for them they seemed to be suggesting they had some insight.

Hope it isn't true but I heard a story today that he is not directly involved in the decision making process regarding the next manager.  Also that he isn't really being 'consulted'.

But he's said that he is. Why would he lie?

I'm hoping it's not true and that he's not just here to make the fans feel better.

I'm around 1500 words into trying to answer that question!

The club created a football board to make football related decisions. He has been brought in very specifically for that. Why would anyone then believe a rumour that Bernstein, Hollis, King and Bevington would then not consult him? If that was truly the case why would he have been at that gong show today?

Because we've got a genuine lunatic owner who has made unbelievable decision after unbelievable decision. Why should anyone think he's suddenly become lucid. I hope he has, finally, and Brian gets the chance to influence things but I'll believe it when it happens. Fuck Lerner!!!

This isn't about past decisions that are hard to dismiss as being nuts. I'm going by every decision made since hiring Hollis. Or maybe you are saying all of those decisions including bringing in Little is lunacy?

I'm saying we could have Pep Guardiola managing the team with Zidane as football consultant but as long as Lerner is pulling the strings then we are exposed to whatever next mental decision he makes about how we should operate.
Or maybe you're saying that you suddenly trust Lerner ?( while we're asking stupid questions)

I think he is saying that Lerner no longer 'pulls the strings'.
So we're constrained by randy's wallet but there are new personalities running the business.

Understand and accept that they are massive wind up merchants but even by their standards that would be a bit crass.

I see, the club hands longterm contracts to Flabby, Bacuna etc. and gives Sir Brian 6 months?? Great thinking there...

They are hardly related decisions though are they?

It speaks volumes whether related or not.

Can't blame people for being a bit distrusting now can we? Look where we are, it will take an awful lot for people to have any faith.

It doesn't say anything at all. For a start, Brian doesn't have a contract.
