Bernstein and King Resign from the Board

*KING: HOPES ASTON VILLA BACK ON TRACK IN NEXT FEW WEEKS

Where is this from?

Bloomberg TV

[Chico Hamilton III]

Randolphs Mum has probably come to the conclusion that her son is financially incontinent; as we speak young Randy is preparing a protest flag that reads

 "No hope, no future, no more maple syrup & waffles!"


Friends have gathered outside the house proclaiming

"We want her out, Randys Mother out, she really does not understand"

"Randy is in a rut; his pocket moneys been cut"

"We want Randys mother out."

All this talking about Lerners mum and stuff is just pathetic.  Grow up FFS.

Yes, his ownership has turned out to be disastrous, but this sort of stuff is ridiculous

.

Why? his mother is rumoured to be controlling the Lerner family trust purse strings though. It was first mentioned on here last year that she told him that the club needs to be self sufficient and any money to be spent has to be generated by the club and not bankrolled from the family fortune. I think the source of this was a couple of ex players.

If someone on here wants to make fun of that, then why don't you just ignore it and let them carry on

And a couple of ex-players would know all about Lerners finances and relationship with his mum?  Come on, it's bollocks and stooping to this sort of level does nobody any credit.

There were also a few more credible sources for this story. Believe it or not, I don't care. The club are free to clarify this rumour if they want to. 

And, again, it's a bit of satirical fun. The sort of humour that Villa fans - especially at away games - are brilliant exponents of.

That can only mean a sale is imminent.

I should clarify - he was speaking on Bloomberg TV but this is from their news feed so I am not sure exactly of the context.

Or Lerners mom is letting him clean the car on Sundays for a bit of extra money.

So do I. So do we all. Whether he expects it to happen is another thing.

[CJ]

I think it's just a throw away remark saying he hopes things get better 'cos they're pretty shit right now. If there was a sale imminent I don't think he and Bernstein would have walked - if Randy didn't like their business model, maybe a new owner would, and they'd have stayed on to propose it and see it through.

Surely there are more important things to get your knicker in a twist over than this???!!!!

Or he's touting his book and made a generic platitude about us in an interview. I really hope you're right but I'm so unused to good news I just can't believe we'll get any.

[dave.woodhall]

"I'm still a supporter and I hope they get back on track.." or words to that effect.

[dave shelley]

Or it could be that King George V locomotive is being rolled out on the New Street to Wolverhampton run.  TLP to the thread please.

[passport1]

This man has made a laughing stock of the club that we and in many cases our fathers and grandfathers have supported. Excuse me if I'm unconcerned about he or his mothers sensitivites.

[frank black]

I am guessing he's discussing Villa as a derailed train wreckage and that being back on the track is not an immenent sale. I admire folks wish to read the positive in this sentence.

If there was a sale imminent I don't think he and Bernstein would have walked - if Randy didn't like their business model, maybe a new owner would, and they'd have stayed on to propose it and see it through.

I think they (King in particular) walked to put pressure on Lerner to sell.  You can see from the wording of his letter that he was keen to make public that Randy has this option.   My hope is that King is now possibly in a position to help mediate between the two parties.

[Chico Hamilton III]

Maybe Randy's mom might want to read this and then smack his bottom
