Bernstein and King Resign from the Board

if the club is to be sold soon

New club new board

and that's the top and bottom of it

But why, as fans of the club, would they resign in such dramatic fashion?  If it was due to a sale they would wait for it to happen and step down gracefully with a job well done as some sheikh pumps a billion quid into the club.

I don't know mate

probably feel they had been bought in to do a job then Randy finds someone interested and everything's put on hold, you can't work like that so they resigned

one thing is for certain they are talking to an interested buyer they have confirmed it, that's the biggest news in that statement if it comes off

the buyer might be a right chump, but hey people want rid of Lerner do get there wish

No need to read between the lines - King is blaming the Shunnamite.

[Brend'Watkins]

I dread to see what c***s this clown will sell us to just to get rid.

Could it be any worse...really?

Having said that, the General did say that when the time was right Randy will be selling to a suitable custodian. So with that knowledge I can sleep easily.

That is not the resignation letter of someone who is merely going to be replaced.

Exactly.  Lerner has clearly overruled someone or gone back on a decision or just continued to be a clown.

Sorry but as I said on numerous other threads (new manager, Remi's sacking, etc) nothing will change until we have a new owner.

We are in decline, we are going to continue to decline, and the road is about to get even bumpier.

Lets be very, very clear - until Lerner sells, there will be no improvement. That is a very sad reality and one that as a Villa fan, I am horrified by.

[West Derby Villan]

We've turned into a Mickey Mouse club run by fuckin minnie

Let's hope it's because the club is a long way down the line to being sold because if not, it's very worrying that a villa fan of over 50 years would walk out.

Boot. Testicles. Repeat.

[Ron Manager]

It is about time someone connected with Aston Villa told the gospel truth. What on gods earth is going on!

I might be being naive here, but how the fuck have the media for hold of those letters? What the fuck is going on?

Lerner being exposed big time.

If he is going to cut his losses then there will be a queue of people to buy the club, just choosing the right ones will be the hard part.

I doubt he cares now he's had 10s of millions wiped of the value of the club.  Look at Leeds, Charlton and Blues owners for example.
