Richard Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 His latest I can agree with.... Dr. Tony Xia Verified account @Dr_TonyXia Ppl all state that football is a special world. Still believe all true success requiring good behaviors. Right personality is a bottomline. Although I'm not sure it is the right personality to be having a public spat with Ian Holloway after saying he has **** up. Or to be openly critical of competitors and saying he knows why they were relegated. Similarly not sure it is right personality to be calling current employees snakes at a time when they may or may not be leaving the club. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straggler Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 The snake tweet is the first one I have any worries about if only because it clearly refers to two current players as snakes. It isn't even very hard to work out who he is referring to. This sort of thing can result in legal action against the club from the players. It is not likely to, but it is ill judged. I don't mind him sounding like a fan and having an opinion, but saying stuff like that about your employees in public is silly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only bad thing in that tweet is the word "snakes" which he has picked up from Delphgate. If he had finished it "we don't need players like that" we would all be saying spot on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could tweet 'they agreed to stay to manager and like Delph, left after someone else came in' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 He (or whoever is 'tweeting' on his behalf) might not fully appreciate how offensive the term snake is. He might just see it as a standard slang-term for someone who's gone back on a decision. Like I said before I think him being on twitter is in part his version of Lerner's tattoo, an attempt to be seen as one of the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he has been told how unprofessional it is or he has been reading Villa Talk. One thing seems certain, he Tweets before he thinks.A worrying trend for a business owner and rather unsettling as I'm wondering if he operates every other of business on the same way.

He needs to stop. Plain and simple. VT posters have been saying a lot worse about Clark. If Xia was saying that on VT it would be considered rather mild.

If he starts tweeting "DHUTWU" about any attractive women, he'd fit right in here, but it probably wouldn't go down well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your opinion of course, you do not speak on behalf of people with an actual sense of humour and understand banter!

Then it probably is shit". When did openness and honesty become such a crime? You need to remember that TX comes from a closeted, secretive culture and is suddenly able to express himself, and be listened to, on a public forum for probably the first time in his working life, give the guy a break and just enjoy the ride ffs! It's not like the FA will commission Batman to snatch him from a Singapore high-rise to answer charges of bad grammar! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
