jjaacckk91 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 so 2 of the 3 who need to go have stepped down so far, neither of them sacked? interesting tactics used by hollis maybe? why would you step down from an extremely high paid job... still, glad hes gone. Is it just a favourable way of saying by mutual consent. I.e. we played them a sum(not quite a full payoff) to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Not sure I am happy about this, I caertainly think he had alot to offer on the commercial side of things. At present it seems we are putting together a board of "Dinosaurs". 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briny_ear Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 So he was with us for 19 months. Wonder what the record is for shortest stay in a premier league CEO post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam3773 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Talk about restoring us to our rightful place in the Premier League. Keep that up! Welcome, Foxy. I thought I'd look back, as I always do when someone leaves, to see my first views on him joining in the vague hope I never get excited at an appointment again. I remember that quote and his talk about restoring Aston Villa to our rightful place in the Premier League. He has quite literally done the opposite. He (probably) leaves us in a place outside the Premier League. I know it hasn't all be his fault but unfortunately he was instrumental in our current situation. You had one job, Tom. One job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Good news. Though it hasn't escaped my attention that they buried some bad news with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AValon Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I always felt it was a strange kind of fit, like we were too provincial a prospect for Fox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted March 17, 2016 Moderator Share Posted March 17, 2016 Personally I'd have preferred Fox to Hollis, but I know I'm in a pretty small minority there. Given the way Hollis has acted since the moment he arrived, this was always on the cards and I'm sure is deliberate. Fox has failed, the proof of that can be seen on any given weekend, but I'm not sure he was quite as bad as many on here have painted him and I have a feeling that once his successor (our new de facto CEO Mr Hollis) has finished doing the popular bit of getting rid of people, we'll discover that whilst we've departed a frying pan we're still up to our necks in flames. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know anything about Hollis. He maybe a clown, and going by previous appointments - he probably is. Thing is - he might be. Or he might not. The hope is there, at least. Where as we know Fox is. We know he spent all summer crowing about how great this new team he had put together is. And we all know that team is actually rather rubbish. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 What's the betting he goes to another prem team as CEO and becomes a success.... Now the hunt begins for one of these mythical football people. (Can only think of Cortese) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any club that hires this idiot as CEO is asking for trouble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
