It's entirely possible the board recommended a manager, his wages, a transfer budget and a need for paying off certain poisonous players' contracts to get them out of the club, and Lerner said no to all of it.

The likelihood is, there was a board meeting last Wednesday at which the football directors presented a way forward.Lerner response was, I'm still trying to sell the club so there will be zero spend until that's concluded, one way or another. But you can sell everything that can be sold. Another pre-season in limbo whilst Randy watches Rome burning.King & Bernstein say fuck it, if we can't do the job we were brought here to do, we're off.I don't for a minute believe there's a buyer lined up but I just can't see how Lerner can stay as owner now without irreparable damage being done to the club.

Stan Collymore on Talksport doing a pretend interview for a non existent job. I'm on the verge of punching myself in the face before punching the radio.

By a number of posters, and they all had the ability to do it like adults. It was not petty, it was politely asking you to stay within site rules. However now, I am telling you to stay within them or you'll be posting elsewhere.
