I'd rather they just did something about it rather than engage in this slightly amateurish venting on twitter.

From Tony :

Even we agreed to take the LC match as  checking game, some players are not worth being given chance.

Blimey that's strong and after all these years it needs to be followed up.

I'm hopeful they will in the full spirit of the Chinese justice system.

I agree Paulie, and I admit that I have found his tweets helpful as he keeps us updated.  We are not going to sign 8 new players in a week or so, therefore, the players that he and RDM are 'checking' on will still be needed until they are replaced.  Sherwood did exactly the same and look how that turned out.  He needs to stop the talking now and start the sanctioning of transfers.  I had a feeling that RDM would use the fist few games to fully test the minerals f the players, which is why I think he played a strange side against Wednesday and made the changes he did tonight.  Several have been tested and are clearly not up to it, haven't found their true level or are simply plain poor.  Confidence is an issue, but there is nothing any side can do to stop you running or communicating.  Villa simply give up when the chips are down.

Much as I agree with him, he needs to start acting more professional where this tweeting business is concerned.

It's just not grown up to be randomly tweeting this shit.

I agree. It's one things fans saying this stuff but he shouldn't just say that kind of thing in public. However thoroughly unacceptable tonight was, RDM has to manage this squad of players and that is going to make it harder for him.

What makes you think he's withheld on deals?

I like it, he feels the same pain we do...and most importantly, he doesn't appear afraid to do something about it. It seems like he is trying to respect RDM's space, but I think if this losing streak continues much longer he's going to start pressuring RDM to effect change at a faster rate.

He should at most be saying something like "an unacceptable result for Aston Villa". Which the manager and players should also be saying right now. However by saying what he has, he's going to potentially be alienating all the players, those we want to keep and those we end up stuck with when the window closes, as well as not exactly making the ones we want shot of saleable.

He's a lightweight. If I were chairmen I'd be amturishly doing a live broadcast from Facebook with Micah Richards, a hessian bag and a watering can.

Afraid of alienating Richards? They've lost 14 out of 15. It's never going to get any better for them.

If this is the kind of gung ho bloke we need to clear the decks without pissing around with second chances then I'll put up with some cringey Twitter output.

What do you think the McCormack signing was? Did I imagine it?
