Bernstein and King Resign from the Board

[cdbearsfan]

Could be a betting scandal, that would explain some of the shit we've witnessed?

Surely that would work better if it involved a team that anyone ever expected to avoid defeat? If you bet £10 on us to lose every game this month you'd have about £10.25 by now.

Collymore versus lescott fight announced PPV on sky.?

I just hope it doesn't involve somebody I actually like.

May be Lerner was manipulating Bank of England interest rates whilst King was in charge?

Nobody at Villa then.

That made me laugh..........

Assuming whoever it is is still at the club, it's probably not too likely I'd wager?

Not that though - things like first corner. Bookings own goals etc..

However so little is bet that they light up like rash on betting sites - but only legal ones

I'm sold.

I am starting to fear that we could descend into an even worse situation than we reached in 1968.

Back then we were on the verge of bankruptcy after years of decline. However, when the club was finally put up for sale it was only a relatively short time before Doug Ellis turned up with financier Pat Matthews. By the following summer, a £200,000 share issue had put the club on a sound financial footing.

Now, the stakes and money involved are much higher. The gap between the haves and have nots is so much wider. You are talking in tens and hundreds of millions. Nowadays the only way forward is a rich owner or consortium, almost certainly with no local affinity. We are left completely at the mercy of virtually any chancer who could finish us off.
