Bernstein and King Resign from the Board

[Risso]

You'd have to be pretty stupid to talk about organising a pitch invasion on a forum that I have little doubt the club will check, especially threads like this. They'll do the same on VT etc as well, any of the popular Villa sites, FB groups etc.

So you'd be safe talking about it on TBAR.

Quality set up and finish there Ped.

[Chico Hamilton III]

I feel like the fans should occupy the pitch on Saturday and hold up the game.

And get us points deducted next season? I'd rather we didn't

I'm all for it. A bIt of direct action. It's bound to happen in some form or another. I'd got for a pitch invasion at Arsenal. Get it abandoned.

Sarcastic or are you being serious?

Serious.

Just to rub salt in the wound, add a pitch invasion / protest to the debacle. Whatever is happening at our club, I hope our supporters don't denegrate themselves by attempting such a stupid, pointless, and self defeating act. Our owners and administrators look like clowns and are the butt of much embarassment - lets hope Villa fans have a shred of integrity left.

Exactly. It's a fucking stupid suggestion.

This is exactly what we should be doing.En masse and peacefully.

Be as peaceful as you like. You'll still end up on the end of a police caution and a banning order.

Like it did when w got on the pitch after Albion game last year?

[supertom]

We're fucked aren't we? Like proper fucked. Randy must be a Blue Nose playing the ultimate prank on us. Unless something changes there's more chance of us being in League 1 after next season than being back in the Premier League. Shambolic.

[VinnieChase84]

Rumours that they resigned after we couldn't give Moyes the assurances he needed/cash for new season. This season has been an utter nightmare.
Ultimately, it doesn't matter if we Brian is on the board, tayls, God coming back to coach etc were screwed until Lerner sells us.

[clash city rocker]

The really really fuckin annoying thing about this is that I get the impression these 2 actually cared about getting us back into the premiership. These 2 go and just leave us with the judas arseholes  masquerading  as players who are content to bleed us dry while laughing at us as there attitude and application shows for all to see what pure cesspit material they really are. But we can't do anything about those pariahs and those are the main reason why we are where we are today....oh     and some twat called Lerner.

No, not like that at all.

As you can probably guess, clubs are likely to take different views between supporters celebrating a rare victory and disrupting matches to protest against the owner.

Not if there's hundreds of them.

[clash city rocker]

And if those rumours are right about going because of Moyes not getting assurances all I can say is........Lerner you are a fuckin bluenose basted.

[SoccerHQ]

The person who runs this club is a disgrace.

[Toronto Villa]

This feels like that massive kick in the bollocks that you receive to finish of good battering for being small at school. And just when the ****** who did this have turned to walk away laughing, one of them comes back with a heavy boot to the one bollock that had the least damage rendering it utterly useless.

[Nelson Lodge]

"It is clear that the sale of the the club to a new owner must be bought about as soon as possible "

That's very telling isn't it. Mervyn saying we have no chance with Lerner as an owner...

My take from both resignation letters is that Lerner has vetoed and blocked the implementation of the much needed reforms and restructuring that have been identified. He really is a stupid, stupid man.

Bernstein seems to be saying he has been stopped from doing what he was brought it in to do by the Owner. King agrees hence his "club needs a new owner asap".

I don't for 1 minute believe they resigned because of an imminent sale of the club. Until proven otherwise I think that is spin to deflect away from the shock resignations. Extensive negotiations do not mean a sale is going to happen. It is a very vague expression.

Bookies have drastically cut the odds on Villa dropping straight through to League 1. If Lerner is still the Owner next season this is a probability.

Just when you think things could not get any worse after relegation and we had a board structure in place for the first time in 10 years that gave hope for the future today happens.

[Boz]

I think Lerner is skint.  That is what is behind all this.

Murphy on 5Live said there was a rumour Lerner would sell for £75m and take the hit just to get out. Any truth in this?

[Risso]

"At least we're not Leeds".  Oh....

I wasn't saying there's a chance of a sale, I agree this is not imminent . just that Mervyns given Lerner a little verbal kick on his way out.

[brontebilly]

is this linked to krulak's reappearance on the board of late?
