Tony's Tweets

[The Moose]

The next three and a half years should be exciting......

[Toronto Villa]

Aims-

To be among the best in the world within 5 years...
To regenerate not only Villa Park but the entire area...
To increase the capacity to 60,000.....

Hires Steve Bruce.
Doesn't make any sense because it is bullshit.

It’s not bullshit. He was brought in to get us promoted as part of those plans. Something he has achieved a number of times in the past. No different to hiring Warnock who is doing a stellar job at Cardiff. Bruce is failing badly on why he was brought to the club. Doesn’t make the strategic long term goals wrong or misguided.

It is utterly meaningless until we see something which suggests it is plausible.

We haven't, though. Absolutely nothing.

I want Xia to be the Messiah too but I'll hold off from proclaiming him to be it until i see at least one piece of evidence to suggest there is some truth in it.

Yes one massive splurge in the transfer market funded by money that was coming into the club anyway followed by sell to buy policies under the smokescreen of ffp.

Clappy  thing.

We’ll know in fairly short order.

1. The manager situation
2. Those accounts. Due, I believe Feb latest, they should highlight  both the FFP and HSBC situations

[Whiney MacWhineface]

P.S. Whatever we’ve borrowed from HSBC it’s at 3% above base rates, and appears to be backed by Recon Sport’s assets. Villa. One wonders how much Tony has borrowed against us.

If there is only the one charge outstanding HSBC) the Accounts should reveal that, if he has unsecured borrowings against the Club that is of less concern.
As mentioned at the time of the acquisition it is almost impossible to find out the value and ownership of Chinese entity’s.

It’s secured against Villa, so that’s why I said it’d be revealed in the accounts, due Feb (in theory).

You want to become one of the best sides in Europe, you have a huge financial advantage over everyone in the league. You hire Steve Bruce.

Let that sink in.

So based on those goals did you expect us to go get Ancelotti? Was that realistic? You can still set long term strategic objectives but recognize there are shorter term tactical steps to achieve them.
