clip on mullet Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 He has to make a change. So fed up. Bored of feeling like crap after every single game. When will we get a break. Come on Tony sack him NOW!!! We've already fallen to far behind. This season is pretty much over for us already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all got giddy last summer, who wouldn't after we endured Lerner. However, he's been incredibly naive in his decision making so far. He appointed Di Matteo. Wyness and Round, his appointments look out of their depth. He also said in an interview after he bought the club he was going to be spending lots of time in Birmingham. That hasn't happened. The appointment of a very competent CEO was crucial given Xia is based in China. The consortium who bought the baggies left well alone because it was already working well. Xia inherited a mess and it's seemingly no better now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as there are a lot of unhappy folks on here tonight I haven't the desire to be thrown on a bonfire for uttering some sort of balance so off you go goblins, vent away! I said it was ott, but he has come in and done a lot of wrong (and good, I am just not mentioning that because it has all been said). He saw it as a quick fix, I think.

Fair enough, but I'm never going to start criticising the bloke for having got it wrong - the guy is trying as hard as he can - would not swap for any other owner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man City's, Chelsea's, but that is being picky. He has a big decision to make now, get this wrong and the next appointment and we are going to be a massive drain on his money stuck in this league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 If we fail to get promoted, i now blame xia. If that causes long term damage with us being stuck in this league then he's just another useless owner. So far not looking a big improvent on the last idiot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far he has been a shambles and is leading us to new depths of disaster. Nothing good has come out of his tenure so far, nothing at all. There have been no improvements on or off the pitch. Yes, there is: hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Right. Fingers crossed I wake up tomorrow and we are Bruce free. Remember... we all want the same thing and we all love this club. UTV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well not so, he admitted he'd got RDM wrong, early, and that was his own pick as new owner - much bigger deal than what he has with Bruce, the guy has got to get Wyness and Round on board with the idea or it really is completely back to square one. As much as some folks relish that idea, IMHO it would be insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Could Be Rotterdam Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I've defended xia against ridiculous comments on him being a poor owner. I won't bother typing again why he is far down the list of people to blame. But any more points lost are on him. He needs to make the decision tonight! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally unfair. He provided mega funds to recruit when he arrived; He sacked RDM pretty quick; relied upon a panel of experienced football people to recommend His replacement; He got the manager we all thought would get us promoted; Christmas and Summer transfer windows he appoints everyone we think is needed. Its not for the want of trying to do the right thing, and making level headed sensible decisions, nor providing sufficient funds. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're on the verge of breaking FFP to sit in 19th in the championship. I'm struggling to see how that's not currently a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
