penguin Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 He really is going to suck as much out of us as possible before leaving, whether it destroys us beyond repair or not isn't he 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjaacckk91 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Seriously, what the **** is going on. I thought we were a shambles but this is unbelieveable. The people to fix the problem gone after what, 2 months. Naively I thought things couldn't get much worse. Lerner has to go, simple. I'm all for absolute anarchy right now, sick of Aston villa being dragged through the **** dirt over and over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everton getting New Owners, Swansea getting new owner, I refuse to think that those clubs infrastructures are so much better than ours that we don't have people interested. Certain Lerner is the problem. Hope so. But it looks like even darker days ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSmith22 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 A couple of thoughts... Maybe the board wasn't happy with the manager appointment and resigned over the choice. Pearson was chosen and Bernstein and King aren't on board with that. Another thought... Bernstein and King aren't happy with the potential direction of the club if a sale is to go through. Either way there's little that can be positively spun out of this news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King's final sentence talks about the importance of finding a new owner, that sentence doesn't lend itself to the notion that a sale is imminent. I think King is practically saying as a Villa fan, 'Lerner is really as bad as you think he is, we need a better owner'. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AValon Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I think the board has basically spelled it out to the American that radical changes have to be implemented immediately, beginning with the sale of the club and the ******* has dug his heels in. God help this coward if he shows his face at VP again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) I'm all for hating on Lerner but I don't think it is fair to judge him on this as we don't know exactly what 'radical' idea was suggested.

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Suppose this was all a ploy to get the expertise of the "Football Board" on the cheap, then blackballing them when they had outlined all the solutions? lol. no need to pay them long term anymore, and just implement the changes.

AlwaysAVFC Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Do Bernstein and King's resignation letters have to be made public? If not, that is a key indication we a deep in the shit, as they will have leaked them with purpose. The fact they have been published so quickly after a announcement would make this look likely anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Everyone needs to stay away and stop giving Lerner money so it forces him to sell on the cheap. I find it pretty annoying that people are still giving him their money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as it's a dick move if that was the idea then the club eventually benefits. It's more that it's very short sighted if that was the case as while these issues may be fixed, future ones that arise may need their expertise again.

That's a fair point, but I can't believe that Bernstein - with a massive knowledge of the game; and Lord King - a huge Villa fan and successful profession; - would have suggested something stupid. And for it to be something that they can't compromise on, it has to be something vital to the club. Lerner is being, and will continue to be crucified over this. He needs to sell or talk, because it will get a lot worse for him - and that will likely be worse for the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it pretty annoying that people are still giving him their money. We lost £20+ million last year? I'm not sure he's made any money from Villa, hence how much he's cut the budget. We need him out five years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't fault people for supporting their club, why should they walk away and let him win? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
