The only problem with that line of thinking Chicago is when in the last 10 years have we had a plan B???

I'm scratching my head trying to think of what plan A was

Plan A was the five year plan but nobody has any idea what that actually was.

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.

What a superb idea. A bit like this one?

[HolmesyVilla]

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.

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

My mistake sorry lads. CT meant zog wages.

Why has he left though? Villa have really p-d me off so i hope he is leaving because he has fulfilled his duties

[CT Villan]

Aston Villa would like to place on record our thanks to Adrian for the vast improvements he made with our media relations. Now the season is over, he has returned Joleon's phone to him and has left to pursue other less challenging opportunities.

[Hookeysmith]

Or you could play it the other way.  The longer Lerner leaves it, the less time the new owners would have to get ready for next season.  Therefore it would be in their interest to agree as soon as possible which may lead to the price going up.  Big proviso though is that the deal does not collapse.

Or another cynical way to look at it is
The longer they leave it the less outlay the owners will have to make on getting us ready. I know its a horrible thought but for every honest, wealthy, good intended owner there are a lot of the megalomaniac. skint, fly by nights as well

[The Laughing Policeman]

You don't need to worry about megalomaniacs and fly by nights Hookey. They'll be weeded out by the stringent Owner And Director Test.

Let's just clear one thing up, neither King, Bernstein, Bevington or Sir Brian are or have been on a salary at the club.

A very strange episode indeed.  New board appointed, weeks later most of new board have left and the club is apparently close to being sold.  If there is any truth in the sale rumours, surely wheels were in motion when King, Bernstein and Bevington came on board?  "Here we go lads, great opportunity to come on board at Aston Villa.  Only going to be for a few weeks while we find nerw owners, but a job's a job ain't it".

We have been for sale for ages now. Their departure doesn't have to mean that there is something imminent - it could simply have been the advice was being ignored.

Or even more mundane, Bevington had completed the work he had agreed to carry out and had stayed on until the end of the season to help Hollis out after King and Bernstein left.

Come 5pm Sunday night Bevington has nothing tying him to the club.  Last job is to write his own departure notice and get someone to post it.

Yep, sorry - definitely meant CNZ. A season long holiday on £63,000/week followed by a proper holiday until end of June.

I envy him to be honest, massively!!

I meant the departures of King and Bernstein not necessarily meaning a sale was imminent.

VID that doesn't tie in with the conspiracy theory that some are compelled or almost obligated to spin. That a man came to the club, fulfilled his duties and departed as planned provides no drama. And a comment I read earlier that he left because of the looneys at the club. Well if that was the case he would have done that 5 minutes after walking through the doors. He didn't and instead stayed for the term he committed to, but that isn't the scandalous story some are praying for it to be instead.

[Chico Hamilton III]

Everyone's assuming that it was always agreed that Bevington was a only ever a short term fix at the club but this was never mentioned at the time. Or if it was I can't find it

I think I remember reading it was, but then again I can't remember the last time we won a game.
