Tony's Tweets

[villabear]

Stanley Victor now getting embroiled in a Twitter 'discussion' regarding us and especially Hogans fee "£15 for Hogan( if numbers are correct) is fucking obscene And I'm massively concerned about general overspend last 7 months Clear enough?

Quickly followed by a response from the good Doctor "Some footballers considering themselves real professional seemed knowledgeable of running clubs but all 'HIS' clubs were in crisis anyway".

Who cares how much we've spent, the fellas a billionaire (proper one not like lerners mom!)... Also a good business man so I'm sure he knows his way around an accounting excel spreadsheet...

Why would you even bother with Collywobbles when he is in full on dickhead mode.

Guardiola hasn't done a whole lot right this season, but his answer to the latest criticism from Stan the Flakey Flan was one of his better moments.

Besides, the fee is being reported as £9 million up front with £3 million worth of add-ons.

I hope that if we don't promoted this season, then our supporters will back Dr Tony in the summer by renewing their season tickets!

He should ignore him. Only just seen his tweet and didn't know what he was banging on about. All very pathetic.

I don't think there's anything wrong with a certain healthy scepticism on this - at least until we really know where the money is coming from, which we won't know until we see the accounts - but I don't really see the need to go diving into a twitter ruck with the chairman over it at this point.

FWIW, I like the guy too, but Tony tweeting is absolutely BOUND to end in tears at some point. This sort of thing usually does.

I've just had a read of Collymore's comments.  Like him or not, he is qualified to claim that he knows the industry and knows the patterns of the industry.  There is always a nagging doubt that a new owner will come in and spend beyond the clubs means.  It has happened before and it will no doubt happen again.  Until we see a couple of years accounts, we will be none the wiser as to the situation. 

Collymore seems to thrive on this kind of controversy though.  It should be a time to be happy with a transfer window, not go all negative.  Most are happy.

I notice the tweet that started it all off has been deleted (Stan questioning £15 mil on Hogan)  If the real figure is nearer £9 million then I hope Stan will come out and hold his hands up.

Regarding Stan's comments regarding players being able to step up, well other PL sides were after Hogan and indeed other of our January signings.

As far as I'm concerned, the money has been spent very, very wisely this window.  Stan has either fcuked up or he has got the reaction he was looking for.  I generally stick up for Stan as I think he gets a lot of unjust stick but he got this one wrong.

If only we had experienced this kind of window last summer we'd be comfortably top two

That not quite right, the real start of this was that he criticised wolves or signing Helder Costa because his agent is also the advisor to the board.

After his little rant about that someone dug it back up today to ask if it was only wolves transfer he'd complain about and he replied with the tweet that's been quoted above.  He then went off on a rant which i can understand but that seems utterly inappropriate to level at an owner when, in this window at least, the sums seems to be fairly reasonable.  We did spend a fair lick in the summer but it seems fairly clear that he needed to do that for credibility if nothing else.

Can anyone offer any suggestions as to what 'ends in tears' might look like when it comes to Tony's Twitter activities? He started off retweeting a picture of Jimmy Savile, and now posts complex mathematical formulae, so I'd be interested to see where it goes next, tears or no tears.

As for the money and whether he is a competent owner or not, only time will tell, as the Randy Lerner train wreck taught us. And all train wrecks start out in hope.

Collymore is a massive tit, he tried to wangle a way in to the Forest set up only a couple of weeks ago, meeting with the board etc, the usual tricks . He's just a self publicising twat, can't stnd the bloke.

A very positive Transfer Window.  Well done to all concerned and good luck to the new boys.
