The board now consists of Hollis and he wont be here much longer. Lerner isn't on the board he's  just the absentee owner and from what I've heard the General went back to Americaland a good while back.

I wonder if Brian Little is hanging around?

Seems that they are winding down more than losing people.

Ah wow thanks man, that is exactly the kind of commitment we required in the root of our club at this time for Aston Villa. Prick.

It was reported in the press that he was thought to be deliberating whether to continue his work with the club following the resignation debacle of Bernstein and King. Obviously decided (or was persuaded) to stay until the end of the season.

And then there was Brian. If Hollis doesn't pull the sale out of the bag soon it looks like he's had an absolute stinker. Certainly as far as appointments have gone anyway.

Just had a look on the OS and it now shows the board as Lerner (owner), Hollis (chairman) and Krulak (director) with Doug as president emeritus, but as you say, in reality it's just Hollis

[kippaxvilla2]

Lerner has always been on the board.

Yet Paddy Reilly is still in a job

[cdward]

Glass is half full = big announcement will be made very soon, new owners who will bring in their own people, and manager, so Bevington is leaving before then anyway.

Glass is half empty = we're f**ked, Bevington stuck it out longer than King and Bernstein, but knows we are a sinking ship, there's only Hollis left, and he will probably leave next.
When does Tony Pulis start?

The bastard. Fancy doing exactly what he said he was going to do.

I'd love to know the salaries etc this lot have taken.

No, on second thoughts I wouldn't. I'm still trying to get over Charles NZ.

Quite, Dave.

It appears as though a sale is very close but people are sceptical.  The negative reaction to every bit of news is a bit OTT, though.

People have been brought in as advisors and these have been some of the most experienced people in the game.  More than we could have hoped for in our situation. Certainly more than if they had been permanent appointments.  Based on the past few years experience,  I would say that this has been at the instigation of Hollis.  It seems as though it is him that is driving this forward.

I know, hate those kind of people who make a promise and stick to it. We don't need those kind of people at the club.

Devastating news

...and of course, he'll go on his "proper" holiday now, still trousering £63,000 / week until the end of June.

[Bottom Right 89]

I'm reading this as the new owners will not require his services and making way for the takeover.

What I would like to know is when are they going to annouce Charles NZ has left? I've got a provisional booking on a brass band to play him out of the Bodymoor heath car park.
