For me, that shows why his Twitter strategy was stupid from the start. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has he been blasted for not tweeting? I've not seen that. But yes, if he were to tweet criticism of the manager, that would be very silly as well as undermining. I'm sure he has more sense than that.

TheStagMan Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 OUTRAGEOUS - the guy is just going to asset strip the club and sell of anything of value. Just look what he has done to that fruit. #GuyFromUzbekistan OUT!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Tweeting about deals in the pipleline - or that we are still active in the transfer market is fine by me. It wouldn't be good if Xia came out with 'Roberto has 2 more games - or else we will be approaching steve bruce' - But he hasn't said anything like that - and I don't think he will. I have an hunch he may be more patient with RDM than many expect. (but I hope I'm wrong on that one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 VT is a perfect example of how fans differ in their views....thats people, guess its the same at every club. .....just think this the most exciting owner, we have ever had. we just need a winning team to go with it. We will get it right eventually.....when? No idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have do watch the football. If you don't enjoy it. No one deserves a medal for doing something which is a choice to watch entertainment. That said, I can't believe Sally got voted out of Bake Off last week.. I didn't enjoy it, so I should get a medal for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may be a love for the club as opposed to the team To have another shot at it....i would say they deserve a medal for watching that over the last 6 years and the cost and travelling.

The last bit......? its good to disagree. I suppose it's where you find your value. Do you value ticking off visiting different stadiums? Do you value being an away fan, and the status that goes with that? Do you get value out of winning? I went to Lords to watch Warwick v Surrey over the weekend, and I'm quite invested in watching Warwick, but even if we had lost and got absolutely battered, I'd still have gotten value out of just going to Lords. Some people think that because they've paid £40 for the ticket, £40 for the train journey and £40 beer tokens, we should be entitled to win. This is sport, and sport comes with the potential to not win or draw. I'd still ask for a view of objectivity. If I went to Lords and there were players deliberately not playing well and not giving a toss, then yes, that may have soured it. And after last season, I think I saw it in our players. But not this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 The problem with cricket it that everyone in the stadium is a loser. They've lost that time and they won't get it back. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See that's just typical of the OTT whingeing that is quite rightly being called out by some on this thread. FFS, in the past eight months, we have won TWO matches, one against Norwich back in February and against Rotherham as recently as mid-August. Xia and RDM have stopped the rot and stabilised us at 18th in the Championship, we're not losing so many matches now - really what more could a Villa fan be asking for? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
