TRO Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 2 hours ago, Pez1974 said: Thinking about it - anyone else think this could all be a plan to get Lerner to wind his neck in or piss off? The quotes from Moyes; the 2 resignations, but Sir Brian and Hollis staying; the fact that a scan of the letters is out so quickly; the fact that the letters are so carefully worded, they almost seem to be written by a lawyer? Put yourself in Randy's shows for a minute - it must feel like the wagons have circuled. Top execs in a company can write like lawyers.....they are corporate trained.

MikeMcKenna Posted April 18, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 18, 2016 I wonder if all these threads can be tied together? Here is my theory; King & Bernstein wanted to go for Moyes (or a n other) but they needed to know the available budget and were told today that Lerner now wants out and is no longer prepared to bankroll club. Hollis has been on a cost cutting spree for several months but despite this cannot guarantee that he can raise enough from player sales and reduced costs to balance the books in 2016/17 AND fund new players. He asked Lerner for further funding. Lerner prevaricated as the reason he appointed Hollis was to enable AVFC to be self sustaining. The thought of ploughing even more money for several more seasons was the straw the broke the camels back for Leener and he has decided to cut his losses and sell for a much lower fee. The "£75 million" fee is leaked in the hope that more buyers will pile in. The claimed approach to Moyes, Director resignations, claim that Hollis is in negotiations, and the leaked £75 million sale price are all to coincidental. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilchard Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 We all know Stan has had problems with his health before. I'm genuinely worried he's airing some kind of breakdown here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Gutted we didn't hear his Bacuna story just before 8.00pm. Staggers butted in and they went to the news. All he said was that he bumped into Bacuna at Birminham airport.........??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Just now, isgill88 said: For those of us not listening, what's the Paddy Reilly story?? Paddy arrived on the Sociadad training ground with a business card saying Villa want to talk to him about being the manager and Moyes told him to go away and approach via the correct channels. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post HanoiVillan Posted April 18, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2016 I'm not in any way ITK, but thinking about this issue while driving home from work, I came up with a new theory based on a startling observation that honestly hadn't struck me before. That observation: Everybody associated with the club is a complete **** idiot. Hear me out here. I know some people didn't enjoy King's time at the Bank, but you don't get to be Governor of the Bank of England without a bit of grey matter between the ears. Similarly, Bernstein is spoken of well, plenty of people regard him as smart. Maybe they just looked around at all the dummies at this club and thought, what the hell have we got ourselves in for? I mean look at the owner. Here's a guy who seems like he probably can't tie his own shoelaces. A very large percentage of his adult life has been spent running two sports clubs catastrophically badly, one of them in a sport in which the worst teams can literally pick the best players next season. Despite that considerable advantage, his Browns team had a losing record nearly every season. His time here has been even worse; how many intelligent decisions do we think he's made since, oooh, let's say six months after buying the club? I bet you could count them on one hand. Or consider the players. I don't think we just have the worst team in the league, I think we have the dumbest as well. What to make of Brad Guzan, a grown man in his early thirties who earns an average person's annual salary every week, yet thinks flobbing chewing gum is an appropriate way to behave in public? Or Alan Hutton, who permanently wears the expression of a bewildered sheep? Or Joleon Lescott, who hasn't worked out that 'thank God we're relegated, the pressure's finally off' isn't what anyone wants to hear in a post-match interview, and who hasn't realised that 'my phone tweeted that picture of a car' is humanity's worst excuse since 'I smoked but didn't inhale?' And Gabby. Gabby is like the connoisseur's moron. Here is a man who looks like a dimwit when compared to other footballers! And I don't just mean noted smartarses like Duncan Watmore or Graeme Le Saux - Gabby is so thick he makes Ian Wright look like Cicero. And he's the club captain! Lord have mercy. You can go on as well, through the caretaker manager who is such an idiot he thinks it's sensible to keep starting a player whose contract expires in four games' time and who hasn't put in one single good performance for eleven calendar months. Or Paddy Reilly and his merry band of scouts, turning up rubbish and overpaying for it at every turn. Or the entire coaching staff, who have performed so badly at their jobs, their actual raison d'etre, that I can't think of one single first team player who is one iota better now than he was on his debut. I could carry on, but I'm being boring. It just strikes me that the better question isn't 'why did they leave', but 'why wouldn't anyone with an ounce of common sense?' 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
