An apology of sorts this morning and all traces of any connection with Aston Villa appear to have disappeared from her biog and profile pics.
She apologised for having offended some people but essentially stands by her remarks: "No generalisations or widespread offence was intended. Just a personal opinion on the future economy in this crisis."

Love this:

"The tweets that seem to have upset people the most have been deleted. I have no interest in being a source of further public upset."

more like "I have no interest in digging myself further into a hole that might have some far-reaching consequences for my future career"

A big name. Great for the club's profile.

Good luck Eni.

Edit: WTF happened?

What a stupid person she is. I haven’t had a single period of unemployment since I left college and I now find myself furloughed. I absolutely hate every second of it and the constant thoughts going through my head about whether this is furlough or delayed redundancy.

Wasn't she the one in the news for another controversy a while ago? I go and watch the Villa ladies a few times, not seen her there yet. Highly spoken of though.

Precisely mate. My wife works at the same company as me, she only joined in Feb after 12 years at the same place, she absolutely loves her new job but it's an internal recruitment role, and all recruitment was ceased by the business with immediate effect when it all kicked off. She's furloughed, and they're topping up her wages so we can't complain, but she's understandably anxious as to if she'll have a job to back to, especially given her trade.

Recruitment is going to be bloody hard, best of luck to her.

These things will always pick up and hopefully we’ll all be back...including the Villa if relegated....god I’m bored though 😂

Her Twitter profile no longer mentions us, it did yesterday.

So dumb. I mean apart from anything else she’s had a go at a quarter of the working population. And she’s done it before there are any reasonable grounds that to suggest anyone is taking the piss more or less than anyone else.

It speaks of existing noxious views on benefits claimants and it’s just thick to mash these two things together.

Her biog still says "Pundit, Sporting Director, Lawyer" so she's still claiming the job title even if she's not got the mentioning the club.
