Some people do love to bash though! Your right, we need to be patient - only been in charge for a couple of months.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a terrible thing to do. Where has anyone criticised him for that? I haven't seen that. Surely doing so would be like criticising him for breathing? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm going to take your avoidance of the question again to be that nobody actually has criticised him for what you are complaining of. Fair enough. I'm not into the personal stuff and it's against the site guidelines so I'd rather not answer that - thanks.

Takes up way too much time and unnecessary. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope you can take avoidance of the question as a damning indictement of what a poor question it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only difference it makes between doing that and saying nothing at all is that it lets Villa fans know that we're actually doing something. Posts like this make Villa fans look bad, it embarrasses us. Get off VT. It is pretty obvious and it's amazing you cannot see it, instead of blindly defending the current owner. He puts unnecessary pressure on himself and the manager, we all know transfers can look set in stone and then suddenly vaporize. Then we go on and lose a game, RDM is questioned about the potential transfer that was supposed to happen and fans get frustrated. Put it like this; do you think Mourinho or Conte would like it if their chairman constantly crapped out on Twitter about potential signings? No, because that would never happen with serious owners, they would let the professionals take care of it. Have you ever seen Abramovich blurting out in horrendous English about potential signings on Twitter? No, of course not. Posts like mine are read by Villa-fans on this forum, I am not a well-known person and what I say creates no consequence for the reputation of AVFC as I have no official role - so your little finish makes no sense at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuleAthon Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 We've been brow beaten for so many years by our owners; the insecurities are flowing in full force. We can't trust each other, the players, the manager, the owner... Despite at least two of these doing everything in their power to sort things out quickly in a dire situation What a time to be a Villa fan.

Relegation is one thing, I saw it coming and actually ended up looking forward to playing the Championship over the summer given the current high level in the Premier League. Sure I would have wanted to be there still, but when teams like West Ham can have such good players and Leicester winning the league, it goes without saying we would lose almost every game once more. Tony Xia, please get the hell off Twitter and stop embarrassing the club like you're doing. Your English is woeful and nobody fully understands you anyway. I have nothing against you being there to communicate with the fans, but please hire someone to help you out - someone who can say NO when your brain says yes after a defeat - keep it plain and simple, do not promise things which can go tits-up the next day. Do not say stupid things like becoming the best club in the world within five seasons, it's just coming back to bite you in the ass - although I suspect he will be loooong gone before five years have passed anyway. Do not promise signings and reveal that we are negotiating with parties, it only undermines the manager and can cause the selling club to get pissed off. Shut up Lapal_Fan you dickhead. Oh.. wait, Lapal_fan didn't post this!? Edited August 11, 2016 by lapal_fan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Fans witness both games away from home and see the team totally capitulate and demonstrate little difference to last season and want to see improvements and think those improvements should be more visible. What a terrible thing to do. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
