PompeyVillan Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 The problem we have is, any manager we want first speaks to Bernstein and King. Then they decide that they don't want to be out manager. My theory is Randy won't put up the money or sack Paddy Reilly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go into a rant but t would get another warning. Short memories and although the circumstances are concerning, good riddance to bad news.

jon_c Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 On the Sun calling it hippie crack, their research clearly didn't go beyond looking it up on the FRANK website, because for some inexplicable reason they call it hippie crack on there.

It would be nice if King and Bernstein were willing to leak their resignation letters then they could come out and tell us fans what exactly the **** is going on. I doubt it will happen though.

If not them, then perhaps if Little also resigned? If nothing else, a bit more pressure to apply to Lerner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Thomas Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Just looked at Bernstein’s interview on AVTV where he was saying, “What is crucial at any club is everyone is together, there’s a great feeling of working together and we all live and die together, and that’s absolutely crucial. IF you have got those qualities with the scale of this club we should be able to do the business." Shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 So basically King and Bernstein wanted to implement change and it was going to cost money. In walks General Charles Fuckface in his Stetson and Cowboy boots, plonks his feet on the table, leans back in his chair and says "Ya'll don't be thinking about spending none of that dollar now ya hear". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Thomas Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 What is so depressing is what we're left with. Their resignations have literally sucked all the optimism out of me. The situation is hopeless. The only light I can see is a new rich owner is attracted by the lower price, but that seems unlikely given our very public problems. If we go into next season with Lerner in charge we will struggle to stay in the championship, never mind get promoted. I am definitely not buying season tickets until Lerner is gone.

Stevo985 Posted April 19, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 19, 2016 9 hours ago, OutByEaster? said: Radical solutions. There's hints in the papers that Lerner wanted a say in player valuation - I'm guessing that Bernstein and King felt it was worth paying players up to get them out, had a manager in mind, had a potential budget in place, had issues with Reilly and essentially a number of things they felt that could turn the club around. If they've hit a Lerner brick wall in the shape of Hollis then you can see why they've gone - they've been asked to do a root and branch review, come back with a way forward and discovered it wasn't going to be up to them anyway. I think the issue was Riley. The hints in King's letter pointed to that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
