I wonder if Hollis will hang around - he put the Board together and it has now collapsed.....very worrying. Also, interesting that Brian Little is mentioned on the statement, I wonder if he agreed with the leavers or not??

I can only assume that some brinkmanship was involved and Lerner called their bluff- a this is what we need, give it,or we resign scenario. Pat Murphy described Lerner as stubborn, so surely someone had told Bernstein and King that the way to get a win/win was to negotiate and compromise? I'm the same, following the disappointing news yesterday, this morning my feelings are more about these two being quitters rather than standing up for themselves and Villa, after all, it appears nobody else is. I totally disagree. These guys are in their twilight - They have both been there and done it. I saw them joining the board more as an 'offer of help', than a measured career move. With their experience, they can't suffer fools lightly, and have decided to highlight the fact that Lerner is an unbearable shitstain on our once great club, by walking. Even though it's terrible news for us, good on them I say!I was about to say the same. It's important to get the bullshit out in the open.

Well if we appoint Moyes today this will become more odd.
That will leave the General in charge!

What was the 11pm news? I missed that in the maelstrom of bad news last night.

It's important to get the bullshit out in the open.It is.It's about time someone outed these charlatans and their working practices. For years getting any information out of Villa has been like dealing with North Korea, just sound bites and blather, no solid facts. Any mistakes and monumental fuck ups have been pasted over with excuses or rumour of what might of happened, surely that didn't happen, that makes no sense etc etc. I wan't to know exactly what we are dealing with here, it's my club that's become a laughing stock and has turned in to some sort of bizzare Randy Lerner Zombie club. I wan't someone to out this prat and let us know exactly what is going on behind the scenes right now.
