act off the pitch
« on: April 18, 2016, 06:30:25 PM »
The resignations of Bernstein and King are the worst news yet, but the action of fans can no longer be on the pitch. Having a pitch invasion would get points deducted and a fine and worse - could see the ground closed. =We already had a £200k fine for the baggies invasion. Leave it out.

What is missing is any fan meeting to discuss activity and analyse the problems - and now why King and Berstein say no plan could be agreed. Last Week the mail said Lerner would not agree a budget. No money, no plan. No manager.

Fans talk about the manager. But if there is no agreed investment - as in January - the manager is screwed. I suggested earlier that a fan inquiry is no longer needed. But that was before Bernstein and King quit. Its now clear that we are seeing a board fall apart and whoever remains the big issue is not the personnel at the Villa. Its how Lerner can continue to call the shots - or not call the shots - and continue to make decisions which are disasterous.

Fan meetings may seem old hat. But there is nothing to be gained from protests in the ground or on the internet. Younger people than old codgers like me need to get together. NOW.

How do we know you're truly called Trevor Fisher? What if it's a pen name such as Barbara Vine, Ellis Peters or Figurine Pannini?

Maybe Mr Hollis / Lerner, ARE actually in the process of discussions about a sale.
In that case, surely you can't make such a critical appointment as a new Team Manager.......no matter if Gareth Southgate IS available and desperately want's the job before they find somebody really good rather than really available.
