The Takeover Thread - Recon Group - NOW WITH NEW POLL

[Breezeblock]

It's not abusive enough, if anything. If he'd shoehorned "sister-shagging wurzel" in then I'd have been impressed.

You bastard Rizzo! Snorted tea all over my keyboard, mouse & phone!

[Toronto Villa]

I'm a little torn on this. Mainly because Holloway is thick oik and has deserved being called out for being a tosser for a long time.

[Stirchley Villain]

My concern is whilst he's tweeting he could be doing something more useful.

And why do we think that of Holloway? Pretty much only because of his disrespectful comments about us and others. So I don't see how on the one hand folks can hold it against Holloway but on the other be ok with Tony doing the same kind of thing.

[villadelph]

It's not appalling, it is pretty base though. Who really cares what Holloway has to say?

Obviously our chairman. Who is quickly revealing how thin his skin is. The media now know they can poke and prod him to get a story with very little effort.

GET OFF TWITTER DOC.

[Clampy]

He needs to get off twitter before he says something he really regrets, although it did make me smile. Half arsed midget who used to be famous would have been more apt.

[aev]

I do ; it's one thing for people who love the club to sometimes ridicule it's failings, quite another for an arsewipe like him to do so

He is a pundit and is paid to write this sort of stuff.

We have been an easy target for ages now and instead of the doctor getting all razzed up perhaps he should just ensure we have the best chance of making Holloway look stupid.

If Tony really feels the need to get one over on Holloway the best way to do it is to win the league by some distance. And then when we have just tweet at him 'anything to say now?'

For all we know Holloway may be right, Tony and the gang should all get on with proving him wrong.

As I said earlier, I think Tony went over the top on his delivery. He could handled it with more class becoming of our owner, but I believe there should have been some response. However the club could have responded to Holloway's comments in the past, and like other examples of people taking random shots we've just taken it in the backside with no reply. That bit has to stop. The best retort is to be a better club which should be our aim and it will defeat the likes of Holloway instantly.

That's how I feel and will be greatly relieved to find Gollum's prediction wide of the mark. Plus the response on Twatter of all things is lacking class.

We have our very own Beijing Casual.

[SamTheMouse]

It's cringeworthy. You'd expect a Harvard-educated professional and owner of the great Aston Villa to be above getting into foul-mouthed Twitter spats with irrelevant wankers. It's the sort of thing you'd associate more with Lescott or Richards.

And incidentally, what happens when one of the players gets into a public slanging match? He's going to look a bit of a tit hauling them over the coals, isn't he?

[Cleybrooke]

Can anyone give examples of how this approach with Twitter has worked in the long term?  What happens when a manager or player of either our team or an opponent is called out in similar style?

Wrestling Pigs with lipstick (or something like that) caused us a problem a few years back. We have here the potential of a much bigger kerfuffle...

[LTA]

Thank you Tony for humiliating and embarrassing this club with that childish and disgusting tweet.  Treat the club with respect it deserves.  Ian Holloway knows much more about football that you ever will.

Shoe shopping?
