Bernstein and King Resign from the Board

[sickbeggar]

Don't know what to think really. Obviously the read mails bit has been leaked by King and Bernstein so they didn't think their comments warranted Lerner's reaction to their criticism or the fact he's reading private correspondence. Will the real Lerner stand up =Is he a distant owner tired of football and desperate to be shot of us or a control freak to the extent that any discussion of his failings is reported back to him by his minions in the IT department? Either way i can't think of anyone with such a gift of bollocking up Aston Villa  with every fucking decision he makes. I dread to think who he's talking to about a takeover.

Do you know the famous speech from Liam Neeson on the phone in Taken? This is Randy's 'very particular set of skills'... f**king up a sports team.

He's like a billionaire blose fan who thought it would be more fun to waste his money on fucking us up rather than buying them. I've said it before but its like  he's got some Brewster's millions thing going on - it's getting to the stage where its almost genius.

To think I once speculated Carson Yeung was working for Randy. Perhaps they're both working for Jeremy Peace.

So B&K are tasked with finding out where the problems lie at Villa...then it should come as no surprise to RL that he is top of the list.

As important as this is, my other question is...who grassed up B&K to Randy...Hollis ?

[CT Villan]

Cake and arse.

What's the question?

Why should Randy have been aware of their briefing by Hollis? Lerner very publicly hired Hollis because he explicitly said he did NOT want to be involved in these matters any more.

Seems to me like Hollis was doing the job asked of him. It seems strange Randy would be surprised by this.

edit after Pelty. Well now I dont know what to think.

I can't make that out either Ciggies. Unless they were asking for a chunk of money over and above club turnover, why was Lerner involved at all?

As I can't see any post from Pelty, I am none the wiser.

So, dummies thrown all round then?  Only one question remains: is there a sale on the cards or not?

The newly formed football board - comprising Bernstein, King, former Villa player and manager Brian Little and ex-Football Association executive Adrian Bevington - never actually held a meeting or discussion as a group.

Does this not seem strange or worrying?

Not really. I'm sure there was lots of discussion between members, just not a formal meeting.

He literally can't tell the difference.

Not really. I'm sure there was lots of discussion between members, just not a formal meeting.

Plus Bevington had only been there 3 weeks before Bernstein n King quit.

As someone who used to run a Communication Surveillance function, if an email was sent from within the company to an outside source, you would expect some sort of scrutiny.  Automated in a big one, more likely to be manual at Villa's size. Intellectual property rights and leaking of proprietary information are hot button issues these days. You're less worried about external to internal or all internal. Just a guess...
