Yep - we're getting a new one once promoted; presumably so as to put all this unpleasantness firmly behind us. He tweeted about that a while back now, if I remember correctly.

I'm pretty sure he will change it back to our 80s one. Or run a poll or something. I don't think he will dick about with designs. Maybe a slight update in terms of colour.

I do wonder who is running all his other businesses at the moment, which adds an element of doubt for me.  Either:

1. This level of in-put cannot be maintained (logically it would subside after the transfer window)
2. The empire he runs might not be as big as we hoped.

Neither option is the end of the world - and there are other scenarios like he has other people heading up the other companies - but ultimately I doubt this level of communication will be maintained.

Then enjoy it whilst it lasts. I am.

He has and is putting his money where his mouth is, as well as leading from the top down by saying the right things. The culture is slowly changing - maybe WHEN it's changed, he'll take a step back.

Because he couldn't have found that out very easily.

He is working on potentially his biggest earner.  He is building momentum.  With every player who comes in it makes it easier to get the next one.    Everybody can see that he means business and is not dicking about.  Ask him how much money he has got and he will give you a one word answer.  Enough.

Credit where credit is due to Tony. We've restructured the backroom team which looks on paper very good, we have a very solid looking spine (nearly, less CF), with more coming in it seems. He's not elusive and the fans and public seem involved with news and general information.

What a breath of fresh air he really is.

Work it out.  His company sells all the monosodium glutamate world wide. Every Chinese restaurant will have a big tub of it.  Suppose each tub costs $100 and there are a million Chinese restaurants in the world.  Suppose a tub of monosodium glutamate lasts a month, that is an income stream of $ 100 x 1,000,000 x 12 per annum.  Like I say, more than enough.
