Fucking hell.
I can understand why the idea of someone taking a view and sticking to it shocks you.

It shocks me that someone can be so ignorant of the meaning of the phrase unusually vociferous.

It's a press release for the new appointment and would have been similar whoever had got the job. 

So when you read an official statement (whether from the government, your employer or Aston Villa) you just take it at face value and don't make any attempt to analyse the language and content to see how it fits their agenda?

Blissful ignorance sounds just about right.

Why don't you just fuck off with the personal insults.

From many years of reading the official website I have learnt to take it for what it is.

Personal insult? Where? I asked you a question and alluded to what I presumed is a self deprecating comment under location in your profile.

Shall we all calm down a bit?

I'll reopen this later when we're all a bit less fighty.
