Who is 'D' then?

Not that it makes much difference, poorly constructed tweets from players make us look daft, let alone the owner.
Delph, probably.

It's harmless enough, and to be fair I don't know anybody that actually uses Twitter in real life.

I don't think many people take much notice.

I'm kinda impressed if it is Delphi, it shows Tony has been swotting-up on his recent history of the Villa.

Tweeting a lot often makes someone seem attentive and restless, I just hope that's not a reflection on his commitment to the club.

I don't think being attentive is a negative character trait.

True, maybe his contrast to Lerner just makes me a bit nervous.

My only worry about him is his taste in cheap elevator shoes.

Sorry, I meant attention-speaking. But it seems he's being attentive to the club's needs too which as you say isn't a bad thing.
In short, his constant tweeting makes me nervous that he'll divulge something he shouldn't or get pwn'd by a troll. If he has to use it, tweet in more broken English that hides any dubious revelations.

Looks like Kenny Jackett has left Wolves, wonder how big they go in who they get in.

Not very is the answer.

All I know is we would be livid if we hired Zenga's to replace a manager who was doing reasonably well. This looks a disastrous hire. By comparison we employed quite a defined process in selling the club, Xia being approved, board being constructed, manager with a good track record being sought and appointed, reputable coaches being recruited, solid if unspectacular players (to date) being acquired. I'll take our approach any day of the week versus theirs.

People on twitter telling Dr Tony he's backtracking. Asking why no signings. Fuck we've only lost a friendly. Glad I'm away next week. If we lose to Wednesday it'll be meltdown

And there's nothing more indolent than failing to purge the club of its rotten apples.

I'm sure they are trying not as simple as just saying please leave. They have contracts and unless someone puts a bid I'm they'll stay
