Perhaps the Mail could actually do a proper job and get in touch with him to ask him for some proper news. I see the Mirror have posted the same stuff as last week about transfers being on hold.  You would like to think that some journalist might want to do a proper job and ask some questions of him, now he’s got pissed, had a good old think, sobered up and bothered to tweet the world again.  Yet again, more unfathomable shit.

Took lots of time to rethink about what we did, right or wrong things. Didn’t read any news about us which surely were with many rumors. I will keep doing my best to support our beloved AV. Keep stronger! #UTV


tony Xia's  latest tweet

I preferred the emoji thing myself.

They made more sense!

Is it even worth reporters contacting him though as he will more than likely lie and spin more walter mitty bollocks about being insanely rich and rebuilding a run down area in to a smart city hub, whilst selling off next seasons season ticket money to pay the water bill.

It's not unfathomable in the slightest.

Fulham got bought out by a proper billionaire but he made it clear they weren’t going to spend their way out of the division.  It’s taken them four years but it worked.  Their key was holding onto Cairney.  I fear for us if we don’t hold onto Grealish.

The key was selling a past it McCormack to us.

They've done it the way I want us to do it. Promoted youngsters to the squad like Sessegnon, signed good value players from other championship clubs Cairney (Blackburn) McDonald (Wolves) and used the loan market very well as doubt they'd have made it without Mitrovic's goals.

They now have a team good enough to stay in premier league.

With the next ownership we have to go down the sustainable route.

Which brings us neatly back to the question of Steve Bruce. Is he capable of doing what Jokanovic achieved at Fulham? Personally I think the answer is no.

No it's not the best, but it's perfectly understandable.

I kinda want him to turn this around. His Witton regeneration plans and all that jazz which made Brucey swoon, which other owner will try something like that?

What an utter load of cobblers and I guess he’ll be moving into one of the Witton affordable new builds with wife ‘Sally’.

I wonder what sort of reception he'll get if he rocks up at VP early season? It would certainly require a big pair of balls

You’d think a man of his means in his position he’d have someone write something insightful and meaningful instead of more absolute guff.

Indeed, a billionaire who doesn't think it's worth employing someone to knock this shit up into something resembling a coherent statement before splurging it out.

And that's not racist before anyone dives in, because Randy Lerner, whose first language one presumes is English, had a similar problem.

Oh you’re alright with that like, ‘cause it’s a race of people, and it’s a food.

I guess there's no room for a bit of humour in these dark days

My mind auto corrected that. Didn't notice, but good effort.
