He's a Chairman/Owner with the club as an investment. He needs to get to work to make sure it's worth something in 10 years. You do know that you can become a fan of something or someone at any time in life, right? For instance, I recently became a fan of The Cure and got into their music although they've been around for over 30 years. Xia's money is in the club and ultimately he can do what he likes with it now. But, that doesn't mean he can't be a fan of the club he owns or hurt as much as the rest of us. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Grumpy_Lion Posted August 10, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2016 it's certainly interesting reading his tweets, he seems honest and open with us at the very least. When I read his latest tweet I did think it meant some players out there tonight weren't worth the chance but reading other posts perhaps he meant players that were left out. For me I think a number of players out there were playing for a chance to feature this season and a few really let us down yet again, so i'm hoping he means players tonight don't deserve another chance if i'm honest. Nice to see some passion from the chairman. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is obviously referring to some of the dross on the pitch tonight, and rightly so. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty major failing by all concerned to be still checking whether pretty much the worst team we, or the Premier League, have ever had, might somehow he any good. Appalling. Is it though? Regardless of how much money the Dr has, he isn't going to have enough to solve all our problems in one window. So instead of publicly slating the players for last yr, RDM has given them a fresh crack to see what he can use out of them for the NOW. We can't get rid of everyone. They also aren't Villa fans, they didn't watch any of last season. They aren't going to sit around watching DVDs of last season, when they can watch them up close and personal, and after they have issued there instructions. That way they can see if there is any player that is salvageable, which in turn would save money for the areas that really need fixing. We all new how broken the place was last season, really broken. To expect immediate results so soon, when our transfer business isn't finished, a new ethos is to be implemented is just unrealistic. It hurts, its crap....but the reality is, this is going to take a while to fix. Regardless of who it is. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is obviously referring to some of the dross on the pitch tonight, and rightly so. Because his tweet is effectively saying that the game was used to check on players progress and that some players were not even worth it. As gabby and lescott have not been picked for either game it is safe to assume he could mean them. It is a reasonable explanation of what he is saying but, as with most of his tweets,they can be taken any way the reader wants which is another reason he needs to stop tweeting like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was their second chance and they failed spectacularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Checking game? Is he for real? That is what pre season is for not a competitive game that we badly needed a win in to boost confidence. It was plain to see last year most of the players out there last night couldn't give a shit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope that we don't have to fall tooooo much lower before we start climbing again. This pain is getting boring and I want to enjoy my football, but at the moment I can't. Frustratingly, there were periods in that game, during the first half mostly and during the second half against Wednesday, where we showed we do have some decent players who are capable of playing some decent football, but we also have no luck at the moment because we can't buy a win - two Luton defenders hitting their own bar - two penalties not given against Wednesday. I'm not saying we weren't shite overall because we were, but the one irrefutable truth about the beautiful game is that confidence is the key to everything and confidence comes from a sense of feeling safe to take risks because to do so does not carry heavy penalties. We lack confidence not only as a team, but also as a club at the moment because 4 years ago we caught a nasty disease and never went to the doctors. Last year, burying our head in the sand almost killed us. We were certainly very sick and let's face it, we still are in intensive care, but after finally going to hospital Dr Tony has the medicine and the best back up team available, so we just have to hold tight and believe we can beat this cancer. I am certain we will. Aston Villa can not die. WILL NOT DIE... Edited August 11, 2016 by Lerner's Driver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa_shere Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I think its good he has interaction on Social Media, but he probably needs a bit of training. Let the manager do the talking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Personally I think we will be in the market for a new manager by the end of the year. He might want to cut back on tweets on issues which are clearly issues for the manager. A chairman interfering in playing matters might put put some candidates off.

Richard Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 off the pitch is improving. The playing side is shit and for sure it won't be fixed over night but it also won't be fixed by sticking with the same shit players that put us in the shit in the first place . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacbuddies Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 This guy is a fruit loop. He comes out in the press and states that he sees Villa as the top club in Europe with the highest number of fans all over the world in 5 years time! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
