If that type of thing carrys on, it'll get serious.

Bennett was no great loss, in the grand scheme of things. So upsetting him isn't a huge deal.

But there may be players we want to keep in the future (hard to believe, I know) who will be quite happy to bail on a club that airs its dirty linen in public.

Don't think the manager will be too happy to have his transfer targets continuously confirmed either.

I'm concerned that Tony is too involved it what is /is not happening on the transfer front. I welcome the increased communication & that he fights our corner.

However, one or two of his tweets indicate that he's forming a Doug Ellis like role at the club. If it's an opinion fine but if he's interfering it's going to end badly.

I'm not sure that's ominous. Maybe he's talking about getting rid of bad apples. I reckon we'll still get two players in.

Does it? Sounds more like our problems aren't just about new players, but something more deep seated, which we all know. Attitude, application, confidence, will to win, perhaps?

I read it more as him just saying that signings aren't going to solve everything. As we saw yesterday it's going to take a while to get the team gelling together and erasing the ghosts of last season.
We've got 3 days so I wouldn't doubt that we'll see another 1-2 in.

Our owner, conducting his comms by typing in text speak like a 14 year old. Makes my fucking eyes bleed. What a fucking joke.

A bit of the top. That's just what happens in Twitter, because there is a finite number of characters to get a message across. Some of the Dr's tweets haven't been appropriate, but there's nothing wrong with the content of that one.

I couldn't give a shit about Blues. I don't go on Twitter, but it's clearly becoming more and more a standard way of communicating. Frankly Dr Xia has pretty much backed up what he has said he would do in tweets and that's all that matters. You mention Blues, but would you be laughing at them if their owner tweeted like ours about bringing in players and then actually did it? I doubt it.

Yes so he should.
