Seems ok a solution to me if it's dipped into and topped back up now and then. Tony for once, has already stated the club needs to be sustainable and that major changes are coming - it all seems a rather sensible way forwards given what's happened. Well with Dr T's decision making so far - that isn't exactly reassuring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, he has a lot to prove from here on in - he has to earn some trust given what's happened with Wyness, no more gaffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remarkably, despite the chaos at the top of the club over the past couple of weeks, the Bruce-bashing has gone on unabated. Maybe some are more comfortable sticking to old, well-worn myths and patterns of thought rather than contemplate the more worrying reality we are now facing.

From what I've seen he's on a 1 year rolling contract worth about £1.5m so not sure why it would cost us £3m to terminate the contract. But then again it's Villa so if true I probably should not be surprised. As for Deam Smith, no thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read he was on 35k per week which equates to 1.8mill. Typical press making stuff up as usual i expect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends to what extent, most Bruce bashers stated we'd never even make the playoffs so by reaching the final he well and truly proved them wrong. Perception.

imavillan Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 (edited) back on thread... Dr Tony Xia, Please give us our football club back and sell up to somebody who cares and has some nous. Edited June 11, 2018 by imavillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 As each day passes, it becomes more and more clear that Mr Xia really hasn't got a clue what he is doing. The sooner he sells, the better. He can take his stupid tweets with him, too. Muppet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
