I hope he's not speaking to the players. He should be nowhere near the dressing room

Same here, he seemed to think the last talk he gave them was the reason for an improved performance, he's on some massive ego trip.

I don't think he can help himself. There was the picture of him lecturing the players about success, and earlier today he was talking about having a look round Bristol with them.

Very worrying if this is the case. At the very least it undermines the manager. The more I read and hear about Xia, the more concerned I become.

He's back..

Dr. Tony Xia ‏@Dr_TonyXia 53s54 seconds ago

Shame for the 2nd half! Need BIG talk again!!!


Shame?!

It's a disgrace.  Forget talk, action is required in the shape of a striker who has pace and a will to win.

Depends on how you define "shame". There's the "oh, such a shame" variety that we may be used to, or there's the far-eastern "you bring great shame". And today, the latter is appropriate.

Agreed. I don't think he's too happy.

I think "shame" is fair enough. I wouldn't have expected him to have memorised the thesaurus already.

Mmmm. He obviously intends to intefere to a level that even Doug would not have considered. I wonder how long it will be before Steve Clarke
gets fed up of it and moves on.

If my memory serves me well didn't someone else write it with him. Levon Helm perhaps?

Honestly, he shouldn't be anywhere near the players.

Mind you, he's fucking off back to China when the window closes, apparently. He'll have to Skype in to give them his lectures about winning.

Wonder at what stage he takes his acoustic in to the dressing room to run some tunes past the boys?

Damned if you do, damned if you don't, damned no matter what. I don't think he lost the game today, did he?
