tinker Posted July 30, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted July 30, 2016 One things for sure, if Xia isn't the real deal then its not going to take very long for it to come out with the team currently looking very similar to last year, minus a few of the better players.

UTV In a funny sort of way this is what gives me a bit of confidence, you simply couldn't pull off a bluff of this scale for to long. He didn't need to come in all guns blazing with such bold claims, even an unexciting, living within our means approach would have been welcomed after the disaster that was Lerner. The fact he made them, now means he has to back them up or people will start to call him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post useless Posted July 30, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 30, 2016 (edited) An obvious but good point, also shows that Xia knows that there's still work to be done. Edited July 30, 2016 by useless 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 of course its a good point but when he was saying large amount of cash to spend and make us huge in 3 years is going to cause some disappointment nice dig at Lerner though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilchard Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Nobody is expecting five years problems solved. But to have a team to at least challenge for a play off place would at least be alright. For all the talk of investment at the beginning, it will be very interesting to see how much money is spent when we take away the sales of Sinclair, Gana etc at the end of the window. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penguin Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I am loving how open and responsive he is on Twitter. Reminds me of the General in a certain respect though, it definitely won't last long. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoubtGin Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Well, he's ill but he still had long chat with RDM, I guess? It's not great English but I think it's faily understandable. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NurembergVillan Posted July 30, 2016 Moderator Share Posted July 30, 2016 Makes a valid point here too... Dr. Tony Xia @Dr_TonyXia 25m25 minutes ago Dr. Tony Xia Retweeted Fran O'Connor The difficult part being in 2Di is that we have to wait in the transfer market chain if you want get 1Di players. Dr. Tony Xia added, Fran O'Connor @franoconnor28 @Dr_TonyXia @UGotLittUp are the club finding it difficult to attract players??, or. Was the delay due to assessing our current squad.

I would have much, much, more time for this view if it were not for RDM's statement that it would be "unfair to judge the players on the last 12 months". Of COURSE you can't solve the problems in one month if you waste it double checking something the whole world already knows. I don't blame Xia, but for me that comment was disturbing at the time and remains so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xia's just putting his faith in the football professionals, that he's hired. Probably means we dont need to spend too much! Where have we seen that before? Beginning to move towards the sceptical side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preseason matters very little. I agree that pre season results dont matter that much, but performances, effort, desire and passion DO....sadly, we lacked all those this afternoon!
