[Stirchley Villain]

The general was very prominent on social media...

The General was very prominent in keeping Nicola Keye occupied.

Good news if true on ayew

Do think he may be best with a partner though. And that has obvious implications for the formation

Yeah, Ayew needs somebody quick and mobile in front of him to make the most of his effort and guile.

[paul_e]

Ayew as 1 of 3 behind a striker should be fine, he's happy to come deep and join up play and he's at his best running at retreating defenders rather than running off the shoulder so the slightly deeper role will help him in that regard as well.

A chairman who communicates! Who'd have thunk it? I like it.

I'm not sure I do, not on Twitter anyway.

I agree. The broken English and poor grammar are unbecoming of a man of his current stature. Occasional statements are certainly appreciated but just be a pro.

[OCD]

Not sure why Marseille are hard up for cash when they've sold Batshuayi for £33m.

bizarre and slightly worrying comment, TBH.

Just no pleasing some people I guess.

Indeed. I do hope he gets bored of it and leaves quickly. Nothing good comes from Twitter. Dr.X needs to focus on the club & fans. He shouldnt be wasting his time doing PR or more likely PR damage control on twitter. There are community managers at the club who can very ably post information on twitter in a non contraversial and boring manner, thats their job. He should let them do it and he should do his.

Different opinions, who'd have thought it.

Yes. I understand what people might say, the novelty might wear off etc but at a time of transition, transfers and the likes, I appreciate the communication, even if some of it might need to be filtered better.

They have a large fine to pay for some sort of shenanigans.

[Clampy]

Communication is fine. Opening a Twitter account and being subjected to possible abuse if the season doesn't go well is another and the press will have a field day with it. I appreciate his intentions, but it's not a good idea at all.

[Bad English]

They also have to rent the Stade Vélodrome from the City of Marseille: €4m a year + 20% of ticket sales above €20m.
