Tony's Tweets

[Ron Manager]

Who does the owner think he is....Doug?

My concern is what example does his Tweeting set to the rest of the Club and particularly players.
The idea that a Chairman states publicly his views on players is a Counter productive.
An organisation where the leadership agenda is communicated via Twitter is crazy.

RDM strikes me as laid back in the extreme.He may be unhappy at the way Xia conducts himself as would David Moyes should we have taken him on. Nigel Pearson however would
have got him in a headlock and persuaded him to cease twittering!!

I hope that the Dr is getting involved with potential targets- one of the main reasons we have had to do a complete overhaul of the playing squad is that previous managers have spunked a lot of cash on players who were clearly not fit for purpose without question or sanction. I agree with Clampy that it should be a three or possibly four way decision and so far the purchases this summer have been generally very good. Whoever is ultimately responsible for getting the players over the line deserves credit, as being part of Aston Villa, whatever we as supporters may think, is not the attraction it once was (and that is putting it mildly).

Other than financial, what possible contribution could Xia make when it comes to buying players? He chooses the manager who tells him what players he wants then he decides whether he wants to pay whatever the selling club are after. He shouldn't be judging whether they are any good or not. That's why he has a manager and coaching staff. I hope this is the arrangement.

That's just plain bloody stupid.

Oh dear.

What does anyone read into Ayew body language in that ?

Like I've just said to someone else on here, the transfer tweets are fine. He's overstepping the mark on some of them though and he's also tweeting far too much. He needs to show a bit of decorum if that's the word.

Common sense are 2 other words.

He hasn't mentioned Ayew by name in fairness but it's seems it's who he's on about.
