RL, got to know this. Knowing they could engineer the inner workings of the club while RL bankrolls it, RL starts stalling on things, provoking reactions from B&K, all hell breaks out. RL can't resign DB & MK can. Only one way there then. RL tells SH to negotiate sale to xyz and not DB&MK 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Why didn't that imbecile Lerner get on the phoneand talk to king or Bernstein? If he had known king since 2006 it goes toshow howlittle regard he has for the staff at Villa. Scumbag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romavillan Posted April 20, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 20, 2016 It's pretty mental that they'd never all met as a group, email is great and everything, not quite on a par with hangouts, or skype or whatever, but even then you cannot seriously set something up of this magnitude with the former governor of the **** bank of **** england and expect that you can organise everything via mail. beggars belief.

AntrimBlack Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 For someone to leak the emails, they would also have to have received them. That should narrow the field. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilchard Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 1 minute ago, AntrimBlack said: True. It could be anyone. I don't think the leaking is the issue, personally. It's the confirmation, as if we needed it, that Lerner wasn't prepared to step away like he said he would and said he had. The place appears to be a complete mess. The owner is lying, directors have lied about backing to managers, and then been fired or resigned leaving one bloke who was in the marines and one from the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce or wherever he was from in charge of a football club. Meanwhile a succession of hopeless, out of touch managers have gradually got sucked more and more into Aston's black hole and players have literally been taking the piss by not caring about the need to look after their bodies pouring drink down their bodies openly on the night of relegation, playing juvenile games rather than concentrating in the match they were participating in and insulting fans by tweeting stupid things then giving a bullshit excuse about how it got there. It's like a series of Dream Team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderball Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) Nah, Lerner is a Billionaire, he will have a head of security (and indeed a team of people) overseeing all his affairs and interests, part of this will be an IT department and monitoring all senior managers of his business interests that he controls (or where they can where he doesnt have control). Part of their brief will be to analyse email chatter to ensure that his he isnt being compromised or conspired against, or espionage. It is quite normal, the emails that Bernstein and King were exchanging may not even have been on the Villa IT systems, but they may have ben monitoring these individuals. It wouldn't be surprising to me if Krulak was part of this overseer role, he does watch Randy's back, especially given his military background. Naivety on behalf of King & Bernstein, but shows how controlling and nasty (and insecure) Lerner is - we've had the anecdotes on here mentioned before.
