Very true, i could tolerate him knowing that our boardroom was in good condition, now that its not he has to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 He should have done the decent thing years ago and lowered the asking price. He's now left us in a complete mess with him desperate to get rid. The potential long term damage he's doing to this club makes him so much worse than Doug. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Hollis 'extensive talks' if this is happening is understanding the prospective buyers vision for the club ect We get a new owner with funds great.. what about the board room? would they have football knowledge? would they have the know how to run a club?

This is my biggest concern now. It seems like a panic firesale and we could end up owned by any chancer. The championship is littered with these sorts. Wealthy but not quite wealthy enough and interested enough to actually do anything so we just bumble along in the championship for years and even if we get lucky one year and promoted they don't make a fist of it and cream the profits Or worse we get an actual crook scum like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd hope so but Hollis is employed to run the club within Lerner's budgets and get it sold, I don't think they care about afterwards. Lerner just wants to sever the ties, take his money and run. Hollis is largely employed to do that and in the meantime run the club so Lerner can wash his hands of it. I'll be very surprised if we come out of a sale (be that next week or more likely years from now) with a 'good' owner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Thomas Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Could just as easy have a very good owner as a very poor one. All we can do is cross our fingers and hope. We want Lerner out so we have to take our chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he sells us to anyone who offers the right amount, it has a chance of working. Imagine the word removed we'd end up with if Lerner tries to find the next 'custodian'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think these "extensive talks" will go the same way as previous prospective deals to sell the club that tend to crop up at the end of a season (although it could be said our season is over now) have gone and that is nowhere. The shock for me is that our "custodian" has gone early this time and has played the "new owner coming card" to deflect us away from the reasoning behind Bernstein and King's resignations rather than to try to sell season tickets. I suspect however that this latest phantom takeover will be dragged out until the season ticket purchase deadline dates are gone to try to serve both purposes before it is declared dead.
