His comments will be very "hollow-way" if he isn't able to support the manager to the levels required by the end of the window. He's mentioned we are waiting for certain PL players to become available so let's see how all this pans out.

He looks like a snooker player in his Twitter profile picture

Whilst I agree with his comments, it does seem a bit low rent to be using Twitter like this.

We can safely say that Holloway will never be Villa manager during the Doctor's ownership of the club!

Dr Tony's latest twitter rambling....

"A failed player, failed manager and now f***ed pundit. Don't bother reading at all!"

Just read that. He's certainly talking the talk

Personally, I think that is awesome.

Pep Guardiola. Because he doesn't like his shoes.

I'm in between two stores. On the one hand you've got the old decorum side of things, but on the other, fuck it, he's the piper, he can call his tune and I can't say I'm adverse to Bumpkin Boy getting a round of fucks.

That's unless we're bottom in November and get desperate.....

Might be my state of mind but I think our new owner is looking a bit of a twat on Twitter. Somebody take it off him please before he really embarrasses the club.

If it's about Holloway, we all know he's a bell, doesn't need our owner to tweet it. It's a bit low brow.

Nevertheless, what has he done to get up Tone's nose?

I agree. He's starting to look unprofessional.

Well i'm not embarrassed by it at all. In fact it's quite refreshing to find someone that speaks his mind.

If this creates an 'us versus them' attitude throughout the club this season then I'm all for it. Could be the secret weapon we need, if we do indeed all come together as one behind the team/club that is.

It certainly feels like Dr Tony is trying to address the concerns of many fans that felt randy Learner was uncommunicative.
Unfortunately in his haste to make up for lost ground he seems to be going totally the wrong way about it.

A lot of his comments lately make us sound a little amateurish and are the sort of comments I might expect from certain players but not of an owner.
The latest one regarding Holloway is especially embarrassing and I hope it gets removed as whatever your thoughts about Holloway he is entitled to his opinion.
Personally, I don't think Holloway's comments warrant an answer and it would be best to let Di Matteo and the team respond on the pitch.
