"I hope the sale will proceed speedily."

"The" sale, not "a" sale. Christ, please let this be true.

That interview is quite revealing. Let's hope the sale is importantly to someone who cares (which as the price drops you have wonder what kind of sharks start to emerge) and as critically to someone who wants to see this concluded quickly. The last thing we need more of is uncertainty. Quick sale and a good managerial appointment who receives assurances of the required resources for immediate promotion positively changes everything quite quickly.

King just said that "both of us (Bernstein & King) hope that the events of the next few weeks will help put Villa back on track to where it should be".

Sounds like maybe there is a takeover in the offing??

We are overdue some positive news. Let's hope this is a glimmer that there will be some soon.

I can imagine the Lerners being like the family in Arrested Development.

And Randy is Buster.

I think it's just a throw away remark saying he hopes things get better 'cos they're pretty shit right now. If there was a sale imminent I don't think he and Bernstein would have walked - if Randy didn't like their business model, maybe a new owner would, and they'd have stayed on to propose it and see it through.

Au contraire CJ, having listen twice to this interview I am convinced that his words were very measured......Godzvilla!

Is it too early to give the order to TEBAR to be on full scale restaurant alert?

Amen to that. It certainly appears that without a buyer our club will continue to implode on a daily basis.

It doesn't quite tie in with the letters they both made public but let's hope there's something in it and more importantly, it's being sold to good people.

Sorry, it should have read TBAR.

Anyway, it's members are particularly good at ...stings, and 'mission impossible' type stuff detective work where restaurants are concerned.

After all that's happened this week I cant help but admire your optimism. I don't share it mind.
