It's because he's a younger owner than most he has his knob on the buttons to communicate.

I think people should appreciate and respect the info Dr xia is sharing with the fans.  Certainly he's up to date with things and being genuine . It's because he's a younger owner than most he has his knob on the buttons to communicate.  I also think it's good he has only 140 characters to express consice quips and snippets . It really is brilliant marketing and pr by the man himself. He's saying how he feels and is being honest and genuine . Good stuff from what I'm reading . Mixing in and being like a fan but also speaking sense and shearing titsbits

If thats what he uses to type, then it explains why his spelling isnt much good

Footyskillz has reached that sweet spot where he's dishing out wonderfully irreverent phrases without teetering into parody. Have to be careful that his form doesn't attract attention from the money being thrown around at Villatalk and TBAR though. We have to hold onto him if we're going to get promoted.

If he suddenly goes quiet, Krulak style, i'll think something's gone wrong.

Although I enjoy big Tone's tweets, this will clearly end in tears at some point.

I don't know, I get the feeling he knows what he's doing. When he drops a bollock he simply apologises, clarifies or deletes his post and moves on quickly.  He ignores the inevitable abusive tweets quite neatly too.  I think we forget that he has been running a similar account for a while in China.

Recent tweets say 7/8 players coming in, we have 3 bids out and are trying to get 2 in on loan. He's also conversing with a Toon fan about turning opposing fans into Villa fans.

"Football doesn't work like that" says Toon fan.

"Everything can change in 21st" says Tone.

Where's the proof of his wealth? He doesn't seem to be on any Forbes wealth list of the Chinese equivalent. I'm not doubting it, I'm just wondering where his money comes from and how much he's worth.

Football doesn't work like that?  It does in Cheltenham, up to a certain age I suppose.  One of my son's friends (aged 12) has gone from Liverpool to Tottenham to Man City in the 5 or 6 years I've known him.  The best part is his dad's a born and bred Leicester boy so he may have changed to them now, haven't seen him for a few weeks.  So Tone may be right.

I'm actually kind of glad he's not on some list. What he does in actuality is far important. I remember when QPR were being backed by one of the Mittal's and the assumption was they were going to be absolutely minted. Doesn't always really work out like that.

SH it does not matter whether you have got it or not.  All that matters is whether the people you are trying to get the better of think you might have it.   The richest woman in this country is HMQ. If you looked in her handbag you would see a lipstick, a pair of reading glasses a packet of tissues and a few losing betting slips.

Meant to ask where you were when you got the  chance to look in Liz's handbag ?  :)
