I hope that the media doesnt turn on him though. Everytime they run bs story from a "source understands" he pretty much smashes it straight away and makes them look like the bullshit merchants they really are. Imagine if every owner did this? they would struggle for sales and clickbait eventually.

What I'm noticing on here is that a lot of people are coming round to seeing his twitter in the same way I did at the start. The natural apprehensions took hold of a lot of people but now they're seeing the value of him doing what he's doing those are melting away. There will be bumps, that's clearly unavoidable, but he's been canny enough with most of his messages that we can't really hold him to anything. The world class 9 is the big one he now needs to get right, if that signing is as good as people are hoping then his summer on twitter will have been a complete success.
I had my doubts about our Tone on twittering, I don't use it but find the updates from others brilliant to read. On having the funds to back up his claims of investment, we had heard a lot of new owners make bold claims only for them to disappear (are you listening Dogshitters and Bitters?) yet we have done some very good business along the window. His claim of sorting out the bad apples (apart from Richards being anywhere near the team) is as good as done. And if his current form remains we are about to get an exciting new CF.I also remember Hollis stating that his vision to develop the local area was very exciting and recently he is pictured courting both Lord Mayors so I would imagine plans for that are developing as wellI really think every fan and every player owes it to this guy to do everything we can to repay him with a return to the big money leagueUTV
Carl Rice and who?
I had my doubts about the good Doctor from the start, I have been extremely sceptical about everything that's gone on from the takeover, the board, the twittering etcso hands up, he hasn't put a foot wrong so far

Spending our Premiership payment in the Championship is far easier and goes a lot further than the cost of the rebuild should we get promoted. The parachute payment will be over £60m less than the teams that managed to survive. It really was the worst year to get relegated.Saying that, right now I'm pretty happy that we seem to be doing everything I expected for us to be in a position for automatic promotion. For once, we actually look like we might be 'prepared'.
