At least it's showing he has concern for the supporters and that he wants to help them with any Villa-related issues they have. Awww, My little Tony... ... I'm not a brony.

lapal_fan Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 You'd think being a relatively young multi-whatever he is, that he'd be absolutely committed to fixing our online sites. For 100's of thousands of fans it's the only way of getting official news. The fact it's 2016 and it's still pretty shite in both functionality and information is so bad, frankly it's embarrassing. I suspect that it'll be one of his top priorities in the coming months. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could find a 15-year old star in a year (unlikely, but possible) and have him at Villa within 2 or 3 years. We'd need to suffer successive relegations for this to be true. I highly doubt there are any PL-ready/top-half-Championship ready Indian teenagers just knocking about the streets of Delhi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He follows 12 players, 3 of them being our new signings. Baker, Westwood, Grealish, Gestede, Clark, Green, Hepburn, Amavi, Ayew are the 9, plus Tshibola, Elphick and Gollini. Dont think there's too much to go on there. Nothing to read into because that tweet is not true. Interesting that he is following Grealish. Keeping tabs?

Genie Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 This openness from Tony feels very much like the General during the 'good times'. If (when?) it all goes to shit on the pitch I'll be interested to see how he handles the no doubt barrage of abuse that will go his way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If (when?) it all goes to shit on the pitch I'll be interested to see how he handles the no doubt barrage of abuse that will go his way. I imagine he could probably hold his hands up and say mid season that it's down to RDM and the players - the only blame anyone could pin on him them would be for employing RDM. During the window I am cool with Tony giving us transfer updates or comments on club strategy, but during the season I can see him only tweeting on football issues when there is something to be praised, or if the team needs encouragement, you can see already he is a positive thinker who believes in motivation. Anything else would be stepping on RDM's toes. Can't see what would be wrong with all that, though I am sure others will! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post dont_do_it_doug. Posted July 26, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 26, 2016 He's having a good time, he's clearly very very eager to please and to impress and hopefully to succeed. I hope he never loses that enthusiasm. Maybe some people need to remember what we've just been through. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's interesting that he is following every player I would suggest has some interest from other clubs this window. Amavi and Ayew are obviously talked about, some of the others have had tenuous links to other clubs. But I honestly think he just following a random group of the players, with no real reason to it Maybe I'll ask him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan-scott Posted July 26, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted July 26, 2016 (edited) I wonder if there'll be a point in the window, where if we've not moved on the players we want to, that RDM will get the go ahead to sign players he wants anyway? Although squad size is an issue with them, surely they'd rather have a larger squad with added players they want as opposed to a large squad with players not wanted and none added in.

I think you'd find it would be the case that they would go and get RDM's choices. I suspect the numbers though will be about 4 out, 4 in, so I fully expect that will be achieved. At the moment it looks like being Guzan, Richards, Lescott and Sinclair out. Possibly Veretout as well. If it was me I'd be tempted to keep Sinclair but if Green can step up and play his part this season then it would be good business to sell Scotty.
