picicata Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I wonder if Randy will pop that letter in the safe with Fergie's? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some of you are clutching at straws. I think, looking at history, that it is clear exactly what the issue is here. Nobody is coming to save us. We are doomed.

Richard Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 People trying to think there is a sale imminent are wrong, massively wrong and deluding themselves 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stalling on a sale as he wants more money more like it and doesn't want to implement any initiatives that cost money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I'm wondering if aside from overhaul Ideas, Bernstein and King had takeover plans/buyers and their proposals were rejected? Hence the mention of sale needed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Just when we finally looked like sorting ourselves out that rocket polisher Lerner screws everything up. I absolutely detest you Lerner you absolute maggot of a human being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam3773 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 If the issues are that widespread, it wouldn't surprise me if Hollis walked next. Then where are we? No manager, no CEO. Just Lerner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from Lerner being the cause of the resignations I don't think there's anything clear about this yet. Just now, Richard said: People trying to think there is a sale imminent are wrong, massively wrong and deluding themselves Oh give it a rest. Firstly, a lot of people are speculating just like you. Secondly, just because somebody has a different opinion to you doesn't mean they're "deluding themselves". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post drat01 Posted April 18, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2016 Not posted in here for a long while but today's events really have made me want to let rip at the god awful person that is Randy Lerner. I hate very few people in life, but he is one person I do. He has completely ruined one of the most respected football clubs there is, his mismanagement is beyond that which you would attribute of a person who was in full control of the necessary traits needed to run a football club. The bloke is a snivelling rear end wipe, with no balls to face the fans. I have nothing but loathing for him. Just go Lerner take your ideals and ideas and shove them where the sun don't shine. Just get out of the club, disappear to some place where I never have to see a pic of you or hear of what other ill you can inflict on OUR club. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence the mention of sale needed? Just thinking the same. Maybe they had found a buyer or backers but Lerner has said no. Parts of the letter suggest that could have been the case.

thunderball Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 1 minute ago, Stevo985 said: Sounds to me like they expected a sale, and were sold the job on that promise, and things have stalled. Sounds to me like they didn't expect a sale, however Lerner being slightly deranged and living on 'Planet Silver Spoon in Your Mouth' appointed the Board for the Hello of it, and as usual within Five minutes into a New 5 Year plan or similar had a complete about turn on some new whim. I suspect that there is a buyer precipitated by the confirmed relegation and Lerner is gonna bite their hand off as every one in the UK knows he's a loon, and actually John Du Pont (Foxcatcher) in disguise and will shortly shoot some one, possibly his new toys Bernstein or King, and they have jumped before he pulls the trigger. All smells very bad though, and he is finding new ways of humiliating the fan base. We are actually doomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
