Papillon Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 35 minutes ago, Jareth said: Owner attends both games away from home and tweets after with intention to get rid of players we all want rid of. What a terrible thing to do. New owner attends a couple of matches? Wow, that changes everything doesn't it? Pretty sure Mr. Lerner did exactly the same in the beginning. Let's see how big of a fan this fella is in one year or two years when the "new shiny toy"-sensation has disappeared and he sees cash flowing out of his bank accounts. I wonder how long it is going to take before he realizes his outbursts about us being a top club in five years looks absolutely foolish. It's not a problem to be a dreamer, but of course anyone can say what they want w/o substantiating it - doesn't mean he is any better than a person holding his enthusiasm back a little bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I think Xia cares and I think he is absolutely right to want rid of the rubbish. I just do t think saying it out loud attracts buyers and if we are left with them they will give even less of a shit than they do now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papillon Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 And then you go on SkySports right now and almost at the top there is the headline "Xia Ready to Wield the Axe". This is what happens with baboons running shows on Twitter. Xia is the owner, he is not the manager, he is not a coach. He should stay away, the media will always pull headlines in any direction they want. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dounavilla Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I like to visualise the Dr holding an axe in a sealed room with Richards,Hutton and Bacuna to name a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the question was whether you ( and the people who liked your initial post ) think the owner hypothetically throwing player names on twitter would be right or wrong. I thought it was pretty clear. If he never gets to this I'll praise him for his self control. But we all know it might be coming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
