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

Shoe shopping?

Striker shopping would be more helpful.

Is that something that requires 100% of your concentration for every minute of your waking hours? I mean I reckon he's probably eaten some food today, used the bathroom a few times. Maybe even played with his kids.

I was kind of joking.

Isn't that what he's got RDM and Clarke for?

I imagine being the chairman whilst shopping for strikers, is like taking your teenage daughter shopping.

She doesn't really want you there because she knows that you're going to end up moaning about the cost, so you only get called in at the last minute to swipe your flexible friend through the card reader when everything else is done and dusted. As long as it's within throwing distance of what you'd agreed to spend it's a done deal.

Wildean put downs have their place, but there are times when only a good "fuck off" will do.

Zenga sounds like a South American virus. How's their 20 million signing coming along?

Sorted as soon as they can figure out the exchange rate for 20 million Zimbabwean dollars.

I agree.

I just don't think it can ever be the owner that says it.

It appears it was a cunning cover story for their real target David Nugent.

I'd rather have Ted

I'd rather have James May on one of the Top Gear South American specials looking like Ted.

I'd have gone for "I appreciate the concern of a man who's been relegated from the championship twice, but we're quietly confident that we're moving in the right direction."


Too long. Especially if you add the @gollum and UTV, which he likes.
I liked the idea that even if he was trolled his reaction was to stick up for Villa.
Then he found out and deleted it. So far, so Twitter, move on.

I think he is saying our players must behave themselves to attain glorious success

Or something like that.

Told by a Wolves fan, that the group that owns the Wolves, makes £24 million every day - not sure if that is profit

But sounds to me like they are extremely wealthy

As my wife said to me last night "I think that the wrong group have brought you"

A Wolves fan who says that anything they've got is the biggest or the best. How surprising.
