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.

Christ almighty- if that last sentence is true we're in way worse trouble than I'd ever imagined.

A guy who's played and managed in the game for over 20 years against a guy whose been here for less than six months?  Think i'd back Holloway any day.  Xia's reaction was a disgrace and it epitomises how badly run the club is.  From top to bottom, the club is a shambles.

A guy that's been relegated twice from the championship and left QPR and Milwall as good as doomed? If anyone knows about getting relegated from the championship it's Holloway.

Irrelevant.  The point is Holloway has been in the game a lot longer than Xia.  That tweet was childish, embarrassing, poisonous and vile.  If that was Krulak, everyone would be slagging him off, but Xia seemingly can do no wrong

I think you should read a bit more.   A large majority of posters have commented that the tweet was in poor judgement, many have queried Xia's credentials and credibility

I don't know why it's imperative that Xia has to take the moral high ground because he owns a club. If he's passed the fit and proper persons test, which he has, he can say whatever he likes, however misguided it seems.

You think 'poisonous, vile' might be a touch over the top?

On the contrary, that would've made me applaud even if it were the General saying it. Because it's all true

He's been in the game for ever and been largely shit.

You'll be saying we should trust George Osborne with the economy next because he's been in finance and politics for ever.

If anyone is childish and embarrassing, it's you. Do grow up.

Presumably you'll be 100% behind every decision that Di Matteo makes then?

After all, you'd back his 25 years in the game over your zero years any day.

Right?

Eric Black had been in the game 36/37 years and I'd trust any of our opinions above his (even yours).
