I can't see what harm he's doing, I like him and his tweets, it;s positive and refreshing. So long as he's doing his job well, I don't care what others think of him.

And it is not like he is going to offend anyone above him in the club.

Footyskillz is indeed a wordsmith.  He described Jedinek as a brusier.  I dont know what a brusier is but it sounds just what we need.

It sounds like something a fat lad might use to get away with wearing one of these figure hugging tops.

Like a device for keeping unruly tits in order.

Just what we need.

One season too late?

I'd say he'll be a nightmare to work for.  Imagine him on the phone every day.  Then tweeting we are going to sign this and that.

I would rather we have tweeting Tony than randy who just wanted to be surrogate woman(or something like that)

He doesn't give specifics as to the who, just that we are signing someone. Fans want to know our club is engaged in improving the playing staff. I like that we do the deal behind the scenes but our owner understands the need to communicate and raise supporter morale.

Gollum seemed a bit sheepish on Sunday in the studio, backtracking a bit on things he'd said so Tony's tweets seemed to shut him up somewhat.  Quite funny when Dr Tone came up on the screen and the presenter said "there's Ian Holloway's best friend". Dean Saunders thought it was funny, Gollum not so much.

Also, even though many small things, people at Villa now see that the owner might personally respond to things that aren't done properly at the club - this puts all under more pressure to perform. For a club to succeed (IMO) all in the organisation have to pull in the right direction

I'd rather he keep his head down and do his talking in the boardroom. 

I think he's doing that quite well and why can't he do both? My issue is to what extent does he engage and where does he draw the line one terms of content? At what does genuine engagement and openness become what it turned into with the General? Dealing with season tickets not showing up for example isn't the path he wants to take with this.

I don't consider his needless and petty swipe at Holloway to be keeping his head down.  I know that wasn't on twitter but the point stands.  If it is just small tweets like pictures with supporters etc.. then its fine.  Sometimes I just think social media is a dangerous thing for anyone involved at club level in football.

How was it petty?  Holloway was ridiculously critical of the club, someone asked Xia for an opinion and he said the guy was a poor player and manager and is just as bad a pundit so his opinion doesn't mean much. That's not petty it's an honest response to a guy who decided to carry on sticking the boot in from last season.

You have to think it's either Morrison out our that his character has improved etc.

Looks like a hint to someone else though.

Of course he is, what's wrong with it?

For context

Tweet to Xia:

Quote
Abel Hernandez saying he would not hesitate and accept if Villa came in for him, with a release clause of £10m come on @Dr_TonyXia
⚽️⚽️ #utv

Unfortunately he doesn't have release clause and they don't have a manager!So don't shoutout...
