Bigger question to ask....is our social media really as good as it can be?

If the question is no (which would be my response) then he's not doing the best job he can (same as Steve Bruce) so that to me adds to the anti-villa tweets.

Get rid.

Doesn't bother me who he supports but it does bother me that he so openly hates Aston Villa and I assume Aston Villa supporters. It is quite staggering that somebody applying for a position such as his either didn't think to either delete his Twitter account or anybody tasked with selecting applicants for interview didn't look on his social media activity. It's simple enough.

if the question is no, then what is the answer? presumably that is you out of the running to replace him :-)

Burn him
Burn him with fire!

Burn him
Burn him with fire!

The question is, does he weigh the same a duck? And a duck that's extremely jealous of geese, and more interested in geese affairs than ducks, and a duck that believes that all of the other water fowl in the pond are ducks too, and a duck that believes the council should build them a bigger pond, despite the pond being deserted most of the time?

Is it in Small Heath? I don't fancy it.

I wonder how long I'd last if I slagged my firm off on social media?

Your firm probably employs competent people (or failing that, people who can do a basic google search) in key positions to avoid that sort of thing altogether.

My boyhood best friend and lifelong role model has a son who became the Catering Manager at the Sty.  I am his Godfather but I took him aside and told him I expected plenty of gastro enteritis and swine fever to strike Bordesley Green.  He nodded because he knows my wrath hath no bounds.  He is a good lad and knows he only exists because I insisted that his Dad asked the gorgeous redhead for a dance at the Locarno Ballroom.

He's probably just trying to do first-hand research for the list of achievements in Small Heath's 2018 diary.

So people want the poor bloke to lose his job.
Has he proved unable to do it? No.
Has he been caught nicking socks from the club shop? No.
Has he used his position to undermine what's left of Aston Villa FC? No!

Some people have the same obsession with BCFC as they accuse them of having with us!
Put it another way, would the RSPCA employ someone that hates animals to interact with the public on social media?
For me its gross misconduct and I want him gone.


I get your point. You're saying that Aston Villa fans are animals ;-)
