Bernstein and King Resign from the Board

[alan_clarke]

Disagreement over SVC becoming chief scout?

Deary me....

[LeeB]

What a 24 carat omnishambles we are

[PeterWithe]

Seems to be more of a power struggle between Hollis and the football people, around money I guess?

[aj2k77]

Anyone who's ever worked high up at a football club would walk in to our pantomime, do a grandpa simpson and walk straight back out. We are not coming back under Lerner.

[lovejoy]

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, I think this has the ring of truth to it, and perhaps not sanction a transfer fund.

[Comrade Blitz]

What is/was "the agreed structure"?

[frank black]

Shit house of a club right now

[HK Villan]

Nobody is going to have any faith in Lerner after this.  It's not going to get better until he has gone.  The new board was the only positive this season, but now even that is dead in the water.  Which decent manager would even consider taking on this shambles with Lerner still pulling the strings?  None.

I wonder if King and Bernstein wanted full autonomy to do what they wanted with the football side of things, Randy has said no.  But, no to what?  Maybe they wanted to write off contracts and he said no.  If so, I don't blame him.  Let's wait until we get the truth.  The problem is, Randy never talks to us and we are unlikely to know the truth.

[Steve kirk]

Extremely worried, what a fuckin mess.

[alan_clarke]

I can only assume Lerner has changed Hollis' remit since King & Bernstein were appointed - probably due to new interest in buying the club.

Explains rumours of the manager search being put on hold.

It's obviously being handled badly though otherwise King & Bernstein wouldn't be resigning in this manner.

[Ger Regan]

Honestly, this news comes as more of a blow to me than saturday's confirmation of relegation. Without drastic changes over the next couple of months, we're going to be in footballing purgatory for quite some time.

[nick harper]

All the work Hollis has done in the last couple of months to begin re-structuring and he has the rug pulled from under him.

If he feels undermined after what he's been trying to do, he might be next. Lerner is an utter disgrace

[aj2k77]

What is/was "the agreed structure"?

Who knows, but it's obvious that they've been lying again, the same as with Garde, people have been brought in under false pretences and then when the reality hits, that they have no actual power to do anything other than front up and take the hits for cock face Lerner and Co they walk on.

The current regime has no credibility at all. Never mind the bond between the fans and team has disintegrated the trust between the regime and fans is non existant. They are outright liars.

[AGRIPPA]

Radio WM just said Hollis is in advanced talks to sell the club.....
