Tony's Tweets

[Risso]

I hate it when posters I respect* argue about people I don't.

*thats all of you here

Indeed.

Just to go off topic and get back on topic, the owner did something very nice earlier, in response to Stan Collymore asking if anything could be done for a fan who, for sentimental reasons to do with his grandad, was desperately trying to get tickets for the Burton game.

@StanCollymore

Imagine being an Ellis fanboy and choosing "Saunders Heroes" for a username. The mind boggles.

So you can only respect Ron if you dislike Ellis?
The mind certainly boggles!

Who tried to force Saunders out?

Who was forced from the Board having, essentially, made it a case that either he or Saunders went?

Who was absent as Chairman when Saunders reached the pinnacle of his managerial career?

Who was absent as Chairman when Saunders' team won their greatest victory under Saunders' successor?

Who returned as Chairman and dismantled the team that Saunders and Barton had led to glory?

Who was Chairman when the club were relegated five years after Saunders left?

Who was Chairman when Saunders went thirty years without visiting Villa Park?

Who was Chairman when Saunders' greatest captain was made persona non grata at Villa Park?

Who ignored the more valid claims of Saunders and Barton and decided to name a stand after himself?

Who had just left as Chairman when Saunders' team, and Saunders himself, finally received the recognition they deserved at Villa Park?

Change your username. You're a disgrace to the great man.

Wow. That's some charge sheet. What a total douchebag Ellis is! You can add to that the mystery fires, the sacking of a young lad for using Elliss's personal lift to carry some heavy items, the one match ball only on match days, the rebuff of Brian Clough in his prime  "I wasn't having that man at MY Aston Villa" and much more I'm sure.
 The "well he always kept us on an even keel" argument looks pretty weak in the face of his misdemeanours. He does however manage to split the fans opinions like nothing else in our history. I prefer not to talk about him any more as I once had to be pulled apart from a very good mate after a "heated discussion" about Sir Deady.

[saunders_heroes]

If he does it makes what he did to the person responsible for the greatest moment in the history of Aston Villa even more disgraceful.

No one knows what goes on behind closed doors. I too love RS. and TB. Lifes shit sometimes.

Indeed.

Apart from plenty do know, and it's from independents that were at the testimonial, Rose Barton and things like that, so it's hardly guess work. 

I'm not doubting it at all. In fact I believe you!
I'd still take Doug Ellis over Randy Lerner every day of the week as chairman of Villa.

Would you fuck. If the internet existed in 1984-86 you would have lost your mind. You didn't have remotely the same access to information as you did under Lerner. Had you done so and watched such a great team stripped bear in just over 4 years, a proper Villa hero like Barton treated like shit you'd have a completely different view on things.

A bit patronising. I was around in the 80s you know and had a season ticket as well. I still stand by what I said despite your post.

So was I. My point is that the internet, access to information and sites such as this mean that you immerse yourself in the bad (and good) to a much greater extent. What has happened in the past 7 years cannot be dimished. And nobody is trying to. But if what happened post European Cup win leading up to relegation in the mid 80's today, or with today's methods of communication this place would have blown up.

[darren woolley]

I was also around in that era and can honestly say if we have had the internet at that time things would have gone nuclear on here.

Classy move.

[CT]

Yep, a class move by Dr Tone.

As they say in Red Dwarf about Ace Rimmer....."What a guy".

[Canadian Villa]

The class move by Tony isn't all that it seems. It appears that the fellow asking for the tickets pulled the same ploy last year.

[Drummond]

If true, it doesn't negate the class move by the owner, merely highlights the issues with the guy requesting them.

Well in that case " out" the prick. Either way it shows the quality of our owner.

[Uknowthescore]

He's tweeted already and he's not happy
