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

I get that you don't like the owner, and probably nothing he can do is right. But I don't think that something that rotten over the last 4-5 years can have one simple solution.

Nobody is suggesting that, Edvard. The discussion is over whether or not he's getting too involved with team matters (as judged by some of his tweets).

I hope he isn't. He's not really put a foot wrong thus far (other than the tweets IMO), and if he were involving himself too closely, it'd almost certainly screw everything up.

I have no chance of knowing this, but guessing since he is self-made, that he doesn't get involved in micro management, but he can have his say that what is happening isn't good enough, and demand that a solution is found quickly by the current setup. I would hope he does.

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

Probably after the rumoured Powerpoint presentation.

Of course he can, and I'd agree, it does need to improve, but that's not what people are getting at - he's already had the team in for one session to discuss how he made a success of thing, and is talking tonight of how he needs a "big talk" to them.

They are just the first inklings that he might be getting over-involved. They might lead to nothing, but I don't think there's anything wrong with expressing concern with the way that side of things is going.

I hope he understands that what might work in a business setting or even in China as a form of motivation is wasted on footballers who for the most part have just about sufficient education to turn on a light.

It was more an attempt at humour by me, to be honest. Although I suppose if you have to explain your Jokes then it probably means they're not funny.

Commenting when the team is doing well is generally harmless but when we lose like today, there is no upside. I don't want him commenting on the game - that's for the manager.  Nothing good ever comes of owners being the spokesperson for the club. Leeds are a sobering example of that.

If we continue to struggle to get any momentum and he sacks Di Matteo in the next two or three months, we'll know the road we're going down.  I'm not convinced about him.

It is one thing fans criticising on forums and obviously managers will have their say in the dressing room and sometimes in public. But an owner should maybe 'keep his powder dry' and if he has to show his annoyance don't do it every five minutes. Otherwise you end up being like David Sullivan.

For the sake of balance I am not convinced about RDM.

I'm in the minority who wishes he wouldn't tweet, so he's damned whatever he tweets as far as I'm concerned.

[Chico Hamilton III]

He's just tweeted that it's a marathon and not a sprint. If he thinks I'm prepared to wait for 6 years before we become the World's best team he can focking whistle

In five years time when we're heading to the Nou Camp or Bernebau we'll be talking about that time we lost 3-1 to Bristol City.
