The Chairman speaks

Have you seen the piece on sky sports news from our new chairman, I'm absolutely gobsmaked, I cannot believe what i was hearing, we all know our club has problems but sticking your head up your arse while you look for them to fix is not the way to do it, GOD HELP US, COS THESE CLOWNS WONT.

It's so depressing listening to that man the final comment "business" this is what we have a group of money men who have no knowledge or love for the game our club will never move forward with Lerner and the Bank Managers running the helm.

I watched the interview on avtv and was shocked how he states we are in the top 6 for spending in the last 10 years then goes on to how we spent £60 million in the summer so he won't go banging on Randy's door for large sums of money for transfers. He forgot to mention that we brought in £45 million in the summer through sales and Christ knows how many millions we have had brought in with sponsorship etc.
I hope he can find some magic for us but to me he seems like a yes man who is paid to strip our club so we are sustainable in the championship.

The man is a fuckwitted Lerner lickspittle. He comes off like a cross between Faulkner and Krulak, a corporate-speaking, weasel-wording, lying, spinning, duplicitous, platitude-spouting cnut with an ego like a Zeppelin.

Comical Ali meets David Brent meets Captain Mainwaring.

Where do they unearth these cocksuckers from and how do jokers like this ever get taken seriously enough to get any role with responsibility, let alone a role they have never done before?

If you get past the inability to speak the points made sense.

Not going to spend massively because chance is slim. Not going to say what the budget is this transfer window because prices would go up. Contracts have relegation clauses so may be able to keep a core of quality together next year.

Other than that he just looks stupid. Customers? Wasted money? Sherwood wasn't allowed to spend the money on who he wanted. Which he argued all along.

We could potentially have had a front 4 of adebayor, ayew, Townsend and Adama. That's not bad.

The entire board can fuck off down a black hole. Not a fucking clue between them. I'm about done with this shambles

Lol. My favorite bit was when he mentioned that we spent a lot of money last summer and didn't get any return on investment as his justification for not spending this month. What a load of shit. Not spending the amount necessary for a Premier League club for over 4 seasons prior, selling all our best players while not reinvesting in quality replacements, and appointing shit managers is why we're bottom of the table. Our summer signings, as a whole, aren't bad. The squad of players they joined wasn't up to par and neither was the charlatan of a manager we had leading them.

Arguably the best thing I've read since Charlie Sheen was winning.

It would also seem that Fox and Hollis also have very different views on the way forward for AVFC.

Oh I don't know. Fox blames himself and Hollis blames him, too.

We will have the best website in the Championship. Well done Fox& Co.

When you think it couldnt get worse this bunch of wankers that run our great club go one better, looks like they have pulled the plug on any transfer money UNBELIEVABLE, do they honestly think this team can come straight back up??????? even if they sign some players in the summer. This is what you get when you have money men with no football knowledge at the top, they have to balls to say the club has been mismanaged pointing the finger at everyone else but theirselves, I'm speechless!!!!!

Rumors circulating that Lerner is appointing his 18 year old son to the board. What a joke we've become.

I actually find that impossible to believe. Doesn't mean it won't happen, of course, but it is the kind of thing a Russian oligarch, an oil-rich Bedouin or that silly fat spastic with the bad hair in Pyongyang would do.

If it happens I will be done with the club until it changes hands.  If fans allow that to happen they should hang their heads in shame. Not only should there be a total boycott on attending matches and spending even one penny on merchandise, the torches and pitchforks should come out and the entire executive should be lynched.

Mat Kendrick is reporting the story, so it's very likely true...

I'm with you, ember. This is disgusting. It's one thing to introduce your 18 year old son to the business when times are good, but when we are in the middle of our lowest point in your tenure as our owner, it says all the wrong things to the supporters.

If anything, that's Lerner giving the fans the finger. I hope we give this 18 year so much fucking stick and abuse he can't sleep.

Just heard on Sports Extra an interview with Hollis saying he 'wasn't going to waste a good crisis'!

What the f**k does that mean?
