Bernstein and King Resign from the Board

[Walmley_Villa]

CNZ is buying us for the £25m he has cost the club, Lescott as chariman and Gabby managing hospitality.

I can't see that statement any where

[saunders_heroes]

My first guess (and it's literally nothing more than a hunch) is that Moyes is prepared to join but that Lerner won't sanction the salary.

I wouldn't say it's his salary, more like his budget.

Maybe a Hong Kong hairdresser has just landed at BHX?

[Chris Harte]

Lerner, you twenty-four carat bellend. Can you not see you are destroying our club?

[Adam Gittins]

Dickinson has tweeted that King made his decision due to 'recent communications between the owner and the football board'. Dickinson's quotes, not mine.

I reckon they came for the scoops but were disappointed that the friendly atmosphere and lively banter were unforthcoming.

[Quiet Lion]

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

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

Probably because they didn't agree with the sale to Carson Yeung and Lerner wanted to go ahead anyway, knowing our luck

Atmosphere on Saturday is going to be nice

Their voices / opinions not being heard I wonder or we've been sold?

Christ, they can't even get the date right!

[Mister E]

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.

This was also my reaction to some news that I regard as very bad for the club.

[Malandro]

This bad news could be good news?

Dickinson has tweeted that King made his decision due to 'recent communications between the owner and the football board'. Dickinson's quotes, not mine.

And to think there were some that would have us believe Lerner had precious little to do with the club these days.
Jesus wept, what a mess that man has turned us into.

My first guess (and it's literally nothing more than a hunch) is that Moyes is prepared to join but that Lerner won't sanction the salary.

Yes.

If something is "untenable" between two people of the calibre of Bernstein and King, and our owner, then God help us.
