Appointing a manager if the club is soon to be taken over would be a possible example: Hypothetically the football board say "Get Pearson (or whoever) in now, to start work immediately" and Hollis (or RL) say "the club may be bought by [X] so we can't appoint a manager they might not want, we need to wait and see what transpires". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juanpabloangel18 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Guys, the "sale negotiations" line is the biggest load of shite you're likely to read this year, and if you believe it to be true then you're as stupid as our PR team thinks we are. its insulting. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 His letter is on Twitter, says that we need a radical overhaul and it's all or nothing sounds like they've set up a football board who have analysed it given their opinion on it and then someone has tried to cherry pick which bits of it they agree with rendering them pointless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted April 18, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 18, 2016 Lerner must have paused the manager search and budget setting and probably hasn't told them why. I prey to god that it is a sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it be that after the review, the fundamental problems they discovered are the players? The recommendations were to f##k them off, and Hollis/Lerner have sad no.

Chindie Posted April 18, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 18, 2016 I wouldn't read much into the sales discussion. It doesn't really mean anything until theres someone seriously ready to buy. The undermining thing is more interesting. Not good. Things are going to get worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be. Maybe new potential owner wants Moyes but RL doesn't want him on the wage bill incase sale falls through.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philthevillan Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 It's odd they have referred to the sale of the club as usually this would be a guarded secret, unless it is very close. My optimistic guess is that they were brought in to implement changes but those are now on hold as the club is to be sold. New owners would be wanting to do things their own way. Let's just hope that's the case. My cynical guess would be that the sale line is PR spin and that Randy is obstructing any real change being implemented by the football board. As ever though the reality is I'm as clueless as Randy's been for the past 10 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) Just when we think that "stability "is returning to us ....that dastardly old train"disruption" pulls in to the station. True to form the letter can be interpretted in many ways. until someone comes out and clearly defines what has transpired.....we can only speculate. what a bloody body blow.....is an inevitable reaction.
