Pez1974 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Wow. There is something very wrong at our club. People are clearly pulling in different directions, and the executive either cannot or will not force through the changes needed. Given how short a time this has all been in place, and how ruthless Hollis has acted once he started, I must conclude that the problem is Randy - the process required all at the club "to adhere to the authority delegated to the new football board". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like "someone" is not adhering to the authority delegated to the new board members and the issues are "fundamental" to the club. For me both point at Randy, no one else is fundamental. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly he has tried to implement his plans ( Much needed changes) and hit brick wall after brick wall. I hate you Randy, I absolutely **** despise you. You pathetic, small, weak little Daddy's boy. Do everyone a favour a drop dead. Although wishing someone dead is a bit extreme, what would actually happen regarding ownership of the club if he did die?

That letter clearly suggests they felt undermined, the sale negotiations are a PR exercise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralJazzman Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Our Eastenders rating has gone through the roof! We should start a TV show about us and make our shortfall of cash up there. Like the Kardashians! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted April 18, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 18, 2016 Yeah I think the extensive negotiations thing is a side issue, clearly Bernstein and King wanted to do something they deemed fundamental to our revival and were not able to carry this out because other forces were at play. Right now we don't know who didn't want to go along with them or why, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pez1974 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Apparently, King's resignation letter specifically mentions the owner and communications with the Football Board! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 It's very difficult for us to know what has happened but reading that letter and given their sudden resignation it's all looking like more bad news for the football club. I don't see anything positive coming from this, like a sale for example - I think it's just PR bullshit in the statement (forgive the cynicism, but it's deserved).

briny_ear Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Matt Dickinson @DickinsonTimes 28m28 minutes ago King letter resigning from Villa mentions "recent communications between the owner and football board".
