So I'm guessing we're just starting the Great Leap Forward. Not looking forward to the Cultural Revolution.

Oh no, someone unplug him quick.

Am I being a bit of a prude? Or is quoting Mao a bit off colour? The guy killed millions and millions of people.

I don't have a problem with it.  I worry that he's implying the fans have an input into transfer policy, unless everyone starts telling him we have to buy a late 20s Argentinian called Lionel Messi to fill the attacking gap we have.

Sadly, this will be picked up by those desperate to be offended. It's the modern way. But if you're using modern media, you have to play by modern rules.

If he's welcoming input from supporters where transfers are concerned he really shouldn't be allowed anywhere near our club. Has footyskillz sent him a list?

Hopefully the Doctor has crossed Jozy Altidore and Jason Scotland off the list.

It's not what he meant but I can see why you would think that. He did clarify in his next message as the original was a bit "out there".

Tony's subsequent tweet about his family suffering should settle the outraged?

He's just tweeted that Joe is off to Cardiff on a free and that we won't be paying any future wages to him. I don't know if that means a pay cut or Cardiff ponying up.

Best for both parties. Good for all.
