Xia and Bruce

[alftitimus]

Okay I'm an infrequent poster. But an ST holder.

2 Topics, and I can't see the point of re-posting them in their dedicated threads.

Mr Xia

Now it is clear that he is NOT a Doctor of anything - let alone "Gardening".
CNN in December, but no post on here about it 
Just silence.

Pre-December he claimed that NO PARACHUTE money had been spent ~ yet rolls out more millions...from where?

Just HOW MUCH has MR Xia pumped into us ?

And if he is the Business Wizard he claims to be...how on Earth is he or his Companies, still solvent? 
If this is how he conducts himself ?

I'm grateful that he is throwing money at us...long time since we've seen that   

BUT...if Mr Xia is the "Wonderkid" the "Economic-Superstar" he wants us to accept...
the saviour of Indian Football..the 'Keynote Speaker' at International Fairs...he says.... when do we see his WISDOM ?
His ACHIEVEMENTS ?
His BUSINESS ACUMEN ?

AT VILLA

Instead of Mr Xia's self-promotion, instead of his ego...how about someone telling him about
the Football League restrictions on spending?
WE - Villa- have to include Lerner's last spends alongside Xia's 'money-down-the-drain'
ego-trip, when the Football League do their sums, come May.
Did anyone explain that to him ?

WE - Villa - are up the creek, without Promotion. A 2nd year in this disgraceful League will see heavy fines and transfer restrictions.
Xia has spent too much WITHOUT knowledge of English Football.
An Egocentric idiot - imo.


BRUCE:

Always had his son in his dressing room.
Now he has no player...a Keane, a Bremner a Keown etc, prepared to head-butt walls and players to enforce 'His Masters Voice'.

Well rewarded players are not going to 'break-a-leg' for Steve, and Steve has no player in his dressing room to suggest that they do...

So it's tactics and 'Game-Plans' 

Back to the Dim-Tim philosphy 

Steve is probably here for the Redundancy Payment if all went wrong.

A future England Manager at one time...floundering around in the bottom half of the Championship???

Unable to motivate players and unable to keep us supporters / fans / customers.... in the Stadium.

Infrequent poster, daily reader. OK 

These things need to be said, I feel.

I thought American news channels were unreliable. Remember, according to them Birmingham is a city full of Muslims where white people fear to tread.

FAKE NEWS ! You are soooo fake, it's all fake. It the worse fake news evvvvver.

[Bad English]

My eyes! If you read H&V on a daily basis you would be aware that lavish use of 'smileys', colour, bold and italics are not common or encouraged. But you know this, don't you?

I don't see Xia encouraging any cult of Xia anywhere.

Bruce has said he doesn't "do tactics".

[TheMalandro]

Bruce has said he doesn't "do tactics".

Surely this should work occasionally?

Ah good, another Xia thread and another Bruce thread, combined into one easy-to-ease NEW thread!

[mattjpa]

Sorry, Im not sure if there is a particular reason to go easy on that original post but (In my opinion) what an absolute cartload of drivel. Xia has put people in place with knowledge and experience to turn things around, that takes time. It is a calculated gamble based on us getting up in two years, PL revenue will sort the rest. If he had polled the fans to say "im either going to invest heavily on a gamble of us going up in 2 years or alternatively we will go with what we have and maybe invest 5-10m in the playing staff" what would you have said?
If we dont go up in 2 years then we may well be stuck and have to lose some of the high earners but based on the state of the club i dont see what the other option was. I very much doubt you know more about the risks associated with FFP than Xia does. I remember reading that the  fines are paltry and we could probably pay them  by selling one good player.
Criticise Bruce's performance but he is not here for a pay check, he is on a rolling contract. As for not motivating players and supporters, wrong again. Everyone was motivated when we went on a run, we are just a very fragile, volatile club which is proven every time we experience a setback -5,10,15 games to recover and gain stability again.

The change and upheaval our club has undergone is completely unprecedented and we knew it wouldnt be easy. There were a huge amount of fans who didnt think we would go up this season regardless of the investment, some even predicted we were in such a mess we would drop again. What is happening really isnt that much of a shock
