He's been just of critical, if not, more critical, of the local players like Lescott, Richards and Gabby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted April 18, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 18, 2016 I'd rather McLeish came back again than have that egotistical clearing in the woods Collymore anywhere near the club. **** off 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) I'm a Stan defender and even I've switched it off. Nothing to do with villa, not much about solutions and he's sounding less like he wants gabby, Lescott et al out and now wants to be mates. It sounds like his strong views of recent times have morphed into this 'I want to be mates' weirdness. Edited April 18, 2016 by Ingram85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post YLN Posted April 18, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2016 People think Bernstein's line about the club really needing to be sold soon is a sign that the club is nearly sold? Really? He's saying that Lerner is point blank refusing any investment, and that any manager that has declared an interest in the job, a la Moyes, or Pearson, has been told, there is little to no money available to fund signings. And they've all said GTFO. And that has made Bernstein and King's positions untenable. That's why the club needs to be sold soon. The only manager we'll get is one who is willing to work with players who are not interested in playing football, and happy not to have any funds to spend on transfers. So maybe someone like Sol Campbell. Randy hasn't put any money towards transfers in a long time, and now that we're in the Championship and there's less money coming in, Bernstein and King told him he'll need to spend more money on transfers, and he has probably laughed in their face. Less money in and you want me to sign off on more money out? Get the boat Mervyn. It's bad news. And it necessitates a very strong anti-Lerner protest from now until the end of the season. Something that will grab the media's attention, ideally in USA as well. And make Lerner look stupid and incompetent in front of his billionaire mates. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villarule123 Posted April 18, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) Turned it on for a couple of minutes to see what the fuss is about.. So Collymore wants the club to employ him to advise them and find us a lower league manager? Hahaha I wish he put in 10% as much effort as he is now, when he was a player.

In order to answer that question we'd need a lot of things. We'd need to be able to figure out what their individual roles were; which responsibilities sat with each of them, what their remit was, what power they had, who they reported to and what their role was perceived to be both by them and the big board. We'd need to know what it was that made their jobs untenable, whether it was interference from the big board (Hollis/Lerner), whether it was an impending sale, whether it was a refusal to release funds or allow a build up of debt, whether it was a failed attempt to bring in a manager that was vetoed from above, whether it was a general feeling that their positions weren't respected and that they didn't have the right levels of executive power, or one of a lot of other reasons. Without knowing some of those things we'd just be speculating, which is in some ways unhelpful. But fun. I'm going for...they've resigned because they thought they'd be running the club, that Bernstein felt he would be the de facto CEO and that they'd picked out a manager that they liked and laid out a plan and a budget for the club going forwards. I'm going for they've resigned because the Chairman believes he's the de facto CEO with the support of Mr Lerner and that he's poo pooed their managerial choice and budget because he's the boss and he'll find a manager and do important stuff thank you very much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 2 hours ago, jackbauer24 said: There is very little chance this is from not being able to agree on a manager or anything else so relatively small. This is the result of deep rooted problems. If it were a marriage, not agreeing over a manager would be the equivalent of arguing over new curtains, bit of an argument but one side wins or better still there's a compromise. But the marriage wouldn't break up over what is such a short term issue in modern football. Even the best appointment might only last four years at best. No, this is likely to be much more fundamental. This is 'life goals' sort of stuff and our footballing people clearly realise there is no future with Lerner so have asked for a quickie divorce. We're in a MASSIVE hole, I think it's fair to say the biggest in our history. Aston Villa are going to be a very different football club in 12 months time and no one knows which way that will go for sure. But all signs point to much more negativity, the idea of another relegation and administration seems entirely realistic. Villa aren't in a fight for promotion, I think it's more likely our very existence in it's current form is in question. No board, No manager, No players we want or who want to stay, no Premier League, no money and a wantaway Chairman. It now can't get worse. You have just outlined my worst held fears. i think we are in big,big trouble.....and few want to be associated with it....with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndFos Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Could it be that Bernstein and King identified Moyes as the best new manager and where told Hollis/Lerner would contact him? As this came the same day that Moyes said he had not been contacted by the club, but still is keen on the job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
