open letter from Steve Hollis

[Chico Hamilton III]

If we concede any free kicks, we could use Donald Trump to build the wall

[MillerBall]

A good letter in my opinion.

Just proves the extent to which the Lerner appointments and of course Lerner himself had taken their eye off the ball literally (as have many of our players at crucial moments this season).

It is a pity about just how far the Club had to fall before action was taken to get the right people in to assess what was going on.

It has been obvious for some time that the "Luncatics had taken over the Asylum" and things were in free fall.

[Villa in Denmark]

He'd improve our left wing when the alternative is Richardson.

With Bill Clinton playing in the hole

Trouble with that would be he'd insist on finding a new moniker for the team

[CT Villan]

He'd improve our left wing when the alternative is Richardson.

With Bill Clinton playing in the hole

That would end in a right mess.


Mind you to be inclusive of the right, Ted Cruz could prep the half time sandwiches for us.

I think Clinton prefers a different type of Cuban at half-time...but anyway, what difference at this point does it make ?

[Ron Manager]

Bernstien and King have just resigned!!

[prmort]

Can we have another letter please Steve....

[Olof's Beard]

Well this all makes his other letter look ridiculous. Talk of a board focussing on identifying root causes of the problems and putting the means in place to ensure it doesn't happen again. Then two of them resign and it turns out we are being sold.

[aj2k77]

This bloke is a clown.

[Pat McMahon]

I don't see a great deal wrong with the statement. They've acknowledged that the club has not been run properly and stated their intention to put things right. There wasn't a lot else he could say.

I agree. Damned if they do, damned if they don't in this case.

They haven't acknowledged the redundancies and they haven't criticised anyone. I'll wait to see who the next manager is and how much he can spend before I'll believe a single word that comes out of the club at the moment. They've got form when it comes to saying the right thing and then doing completely the opposite.

Very prescient of you

[PaulWinch again]

May as well through that open letter in the bin, it means nothing now. That is a spectacular u turn even by Villa standards.

[CJ]

The question 'what the fuck is going on' springs to mind

[cheltenhamlion]

The two things just don't tie up. Something big has changed this last couple of days.

[Ian.]

I'm looking forward to the net open letter...

[Olof's Beard]

The two things just don't tie up. Something big has changed this last couple of days.

Has to be something to do with the new manager search.

Less than three weeks since Bernstein issued his statement about the power of the football board. Less than two days since Hollis issued his open letter. Two and a half weeks since Bevington arrived. Hollis has been repeatedly talking up this new structure - quite rightly - and surely he has to go now as well. Sales don't happen this quickly, that sentence has been thrown in to create a distraction from the real problem in my opinion.
