One thing Xia doesn’t strike me as is being patient. With his lofty ambitions he can’t afford to write off a whole season. These International breaks can be a pain in the arse if you are on a decent run but this one now comes at a perfect time for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made In Aston Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 11 hours ago, HanoiVillan said: He's been 'anonymously' reported in several papers to have given RDM two matches to get a win, one of which was last night, so I don't expect a sacking until after the Preston game. If we don't win that, I will reluctantly back the owner's choice as well. Tony has already said that the 2 match ultimatum was just made up paper bollocks. Let's move on and give RDM a bit more time. We are doing everything right but scoring so, given our firepower up front, will come good soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think he's going to say anything other that full support for his manager publicly even if he is planning the chop? It wouldn't surprise me one little bit if RDM did go this weekend if we didn't win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, he said " As always, the medias knew something I would do that even I myself don't know", which I think you would agree isn't quite the definitive denial you are suggesting.

Hope he's not going to do a lerner - provide the funds - but consistently appoints and sticks with 2nd rate managers. I thought Dr Tony was better than that.

markavfc40 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 He has not long tweeted this. I am very surprised the manager is asking him to send a message/video to the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
