DCJonah Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Just now, Mantis said: Aside from Lerner being the cause of the resignations I don't think there's anything clear about this yet. 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". I think you're deluding yourself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralJazzman Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Maybe they wanted to buy Villa and had a potential deal in place which Lerner has reneged on?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 18, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 18, 2016 I read that as their progress within the club. edit: in regards to changing the culture Maybe. But it was sandwiched between two specific references to the club needing to be sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeParker91 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Whatever is happening, it's just more another PR disaster, especially as it's timed just after Hollis' letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KHV Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Just now, Mantis said: Maybe Lerner and the board were preparing for next season and he's been stalling because he thinks a sale will be completed soon? I think the board realised what changes needed to be made and starting preparing to make those changes. I then believe Lerner stepped in and said I'm not prepared to do X,Y and Z as I don't want to spend that.

philthevillan Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 5 minutes ago, Jareth said: I agree with a previous poster on their thoughts on this disclosure of a sale and extensive talks - Randy has never communicated such information before and if this is anything like the browns, the sale will happen fast - IMHO. It has to be this otherwise the club is directly lying to us when they know leaked resignation letters are floating around. They can't be that stupid, surely.

It doesn't appear that he is the problem - just a guy trying to find a solution. Bernstein and King have fallen on their swords; and with the letters coming out so quickly, it wouldn't surprise me if Hollis knew this would happen. Also makes me wonder how these letters are getting out. I mean is this common? Every other resignation like Tom Fox' did his letter leak out? Something tells me not only did Hollis know this was going to happen, but he's facilitating the spreading of this info cause surely only he and maybe Lerner would have hard copies of this?

Neil Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Regarding sale of club, this is posted on the official site " The Chairman, Steve Hollis, is currently engaged in extensive negotiations in relation to the sale of the Club. " http://www.avfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10265~5505676,00.html Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7392craig Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I think an offer to buy the club has been put on the table, at a lower price than Randolph is willing to accept. They believed he should accept as new owners would have been able to financially back the club. Randolph won't budge on the asking price just because we've gone down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Richard Posted April 18, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2016 It is to do with the budget for new manager. It is basically non existent. 100% On the letter from King you'll note he cannot even refer to the owner by name. Hollis, Bernstein get a name check but lerner is "the owner of Aston Villa". As a fan it is clear the dislike King has for the man 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
