Bernstein and King Resign from the Board

[cheadlevilla]

You couldn't write this as a sitcom script.....

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.

Agree, I actually thought we were getting our act together and that a new and appropriate manager would be announced soon. Instead we have more uncertainty and delay.

[Whiney MacWhineface]

There was me, all buoyant after the relegation, and now this.

Down the rabbit hole we go.

[Ger Regan]

Incidentally, any talk of a sale will be bitter-sweet as I have utmost faith in Lerner to fuck that up too.

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

They're just quoting that club statement though aren't they?

[phantom limb]

What the hell is going on? He'd better be fucking selling the club after all this horseshit.

[Gary Penrice]

"We're dooooomed!"

[kippaxvilla2]

Unless he has fcukin sold us to a bigger twat than him.

[alan_clarke]

Or maybe it is simply a case of too many cooks? When Bernstein talks about reporting lines not being adhered to - all these new faces are probably clashing trying to make immediate impacts.

[Phil from the upper holte]

Says on website in negotiation to sell?

[DaveD]

I think the Villa in Crisis headlines might actually be justified today. Anyone got a broken badge jpeg ?

[German James]

Obviously supposition, but it reads to me as if there was some attempt (and agreement) to create a coherent hierarchy/ departmentalised organisation out of the chaos. You know? Like serious businesses have? The fact that this wasn't possible (and the fact that Bernstein decided it wasn't possible after being in the job for about 20 minutes) suggests unguessed depths of mismanagement and a deliberate blocking of the plan. Very, very worrying.

[chrisw1]

I am absolutely gutted by this.  I really, really fear for our future now.

[NeilH]

My god, please make this misery stop. We truly are a byword for mismanagement at this moment in time.

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

This is our only hope - that Lerner is actually selling
