There was no mention of a possible sale in the accounts. A very quick turn around if there has been a change. The resignation letters don't hint that one is imminent, and they point the finger at one person. He needs to fuck off as far as possible from our club.

Fucking bollocks.

You know, after 5 years of abject shit on the pitch, 1 great day out at Wembley and numerous fuck ups, the one thing that I thought the club had done really well in was getting these guys into the club. Hollis appeared like he knew what he wanted to do and there was a chance of actually acting like a fucking football club, not a complete shambles. Then this.

What the fuck is Lerner up too? Doesn't want to be here, but is interfering with a structure he wanted to put in place.

I would love to hear straight up, no bull shit, exactly what the issues are and what they are doing, because this is just continuing the torture of the abject rotten cherry on the off, worm filled cake that has been the last 5 fucking years.

Looks like Lerner might be cutting his losses to me. Changes vetoed whilst he hits the fire sale button.

Proof if it was needed that Lerner still pulls the strings.

My guess is there is no money to spend, they aren't allowed to get the manager they want, or have the clear out and recruitment we need. This has probably been confirmed by randy following relegation and they see themselves as little more than puppets to Randy rather than being able to take any action.

What the fuck is going on?

The same merry go round that has been going on for 5 years now. Its an absolute disaster and quite seriously, another relegation looms if this doesn't stop and soon.

It's clear to all concerned he needs to get the fuck out of the club. If he's selling on the cheap so be it. I'll take my chances on the next bloke because this one is bananas.

Have been told we are being bought by the BBC as they need a new comedy programme for the autumn/winter  schedules.

He's sold the ground and negotiated a ground share with someone

It doesn't sit right. Why do such a public resignation if Randy has a buyer?

that letter reads to me as, i wanted to make changes and you wouldnt let me so im off

buyer my arse unless lerner is biting the bullet and selling for way under what he wanted

I try very much not to be overly critical or hysterical when it comes to a guy who has put so much personal wealth into the club, but fuck me the man is genuinely bananas. His decision making and odd, ill timed input etc, is frankly weird.
