Bernstein and King Resign from the Board

[Tuscans]

Can we all chip and hire a hitman to take out Lerner.

I started a thread several weeks ago saying how every year, I have been conned into buying a new season ticket:

Well this year, the Club have outdone themselves with a con within a con.

In order to con the fans that the club was heading in the right direction, they conned respected people into joining the Board.

And to think they nearly had me conned again.

If Brian has got any sense, he'll bail out now as well. What a fucking mess.

Sale of the club?  BL to advise on the football matters?  Not all bad then?  Maybe Moyes wants assurances and is aware of the sale?

These are serious operators who gave us real credibility.  I was hopeful the weight of the new board would be attractive to Moyes etc.

It's hard to think of any positive reasons behind them resigning.  I was worried before, but quietly confident we were staring to get it right.  Now I am more worried than ever.

The Chairman, Steve Hollis, is currently engaged in extensive negotiations in relation to the sale of the Club.

Hold the phone, this is new isn't it? I don't mean to go all TBAR but that does sound like something is bubbling

Just when we thought we could have a period of reassessment and relief this happens. I see the 'sale negotiations' and it's just worries me. There has always been a concern in my mind that as things got worse and Randy came under more pressure, he might just say 'stuff it' and get rid to whoever will have it. This would suggest that Bernstein and King were party to and not happy with the negotiation process. I'm dreading news.

Or Randy Lerner is giving the club to Jolean Lescott? More probable than any good news

I can't see why that would bring about the resignations though. Shirley there's gotta be more to it than that?

No mention of Bevington in all this

[Edvard Remberg]

Though a deal may have been brewing with the price depending on the division we would be in.

He is probably charged with writing the press release. Expect a 'ps I'm off too' addition at the bottom.

But why would they quit now?  Why not wait until it's sold?

[wozwebs]

And why would statement start with 'it is with regret...' ?
