Tony's Tweets

[MarkM]

Are we the Woolworths of football clubs?

Ratners is nearer the mark at the moment.

At least Ratner came out and said they were rubbish

[Percy McCarthy]

He hasn't tweeted about it as far as I know but:

There's a bloke on twitter, Professor Simon Chadwick from Salford Uni, who said he's hearing stuff about Birmingham becoming UK 'Entertainment City' centred around HS2, NEC, Midlands Engine, Channel 4 relocation, Aston Villa etc. What he doesn't mention and perhaps hasn't heard about is Steven Knight's plans to bring Hollywood studios to NEC, which could be related.

Perhaps I should have put this in Birmingham News, although it's more Birmingham Rumours so far.

Isn't the Recon group re known modern city developers?
I remember Hollis saying that if the go a head was given the vision for the local area was unbelievable  - who knows?

Apparently he included an image from The Expendables in one of his tweets yesterday, although I haven't found it. (The Expendables was made by the firm he is reportedly buying).

He doesn't do subtle does he!

Perhaps Dr Tone's long term plan is to flog off the land housing VP and relocate us to a shiny new home? A Bescot-a-like stadium would fit the bill nicely the way things are going...   

[Percy McCarthy]

If he buys the film studio he'll probably sign up a load of Oscar-winning actors and a shit director.

[MoetVillan]

I bet Michael Bay is waiting for the call

I bet Michael Bay is waiting for the call

I'd take him as manager, the half time team talks would be explosive.

Flogging the land for housing would net about 300 quid

Any danger of him re tweeting the Ant & Dec banner?

There was something on the electronic advert boards for the Barnsley game about city development.

[oswald funkletrumpet]

Vision for the local area is fine just hope they go and look at star city and aston cross business park first

Oh and aston on a none matchday

[kipeye]

I can see the first film now... The bicycle kick and my part in football's downfall...

[class-of-82]

There has to be something in the fact that 4 wealthy Chinese businessmen has bought the 4 West Midlands clubs ?
