Tom Fox announced as new Villa CEO

[PeterWithesShin]

If that did happen i'd bet anything that a lot more was said/done than is being claimed in that tweet.

We have a winner!

Why?

[dave.woodhall]

I think he is up to no good in the position he has been afforded,read into that what you will.

When you say up to no good, do you mean he's doing no good, or something more insidious?

[Walmley_Villa]

Apparently he has a minder at games now. I'd double it up for next time if I was you Tom.

Face the fans or are you yet another cowardly Yank?

Can we please stop this reference to nationality. It's not big, clever and it is tiresome. 

With all due respect Dave, I work for a global USA firm and heir burying of heads in the sand is a common trait. They need to "man up" as the General would have said and face up to their responsibilities instead of letting the manager take the flak. Where is Reilly or Almstadt explaining wtf they are earning a salary for?

I will be disappointed if at the end of the season Lerner does not issue an apology for the long list of mistakes and bad records his reign has presided over.

That's as maybe, but I would prefer it if casual xenophobia/racism and stereotyping didn't happen on here. There are enough reasons to criticise the board without their nationality being included.

Correct answer.

He is not here for me,you,or AVFC,  hes here for his own gain and nothing else. I could get insidious but I have seen what happens elsewhere so I better keep my theories to myself. Blackpool and all that!

[OzVilla]

The way they've let Garde hang out to dry and take the questions over the January window is the main reason why I now think he'll walk at seasons end......and I wouldn't blame him at all.

They've been cowards since day one, incompetence is one thing but this is another.

Of course he's here for his own gain. It's work.

I've worked for Americans and their single worst trait in business is the unending need to save face.  Nothing is their fault. Ever.

But at whos expense? Aston Villa as a whole or just me,you and thousands of others?

[olaftab]

Well done Tom. 18 months into your job and look what you have nearly achieved.

I don't understand what you're driving at here. He goes to work, he gets paid.

It is true what happened to the girl today. All she said was football without fans is nothing Tom and pointed at the liverpool banner. When the stewards told her the season ticket was being taken off of her they said the decision was made by "the most senior man at the club". Her 81 year old dad witnessed her being man handled out of the ground as she was absolutely distraught and was crying in the concourse.

There was no swearing, no personal abuse.

Did you see it, or is that what you were told?

I met an American once and had a conversation with him. He was an absolute twat!
