I was suggesting that it could get unpleasantly vocal at the ground if we are 12 th at Christmas, I think a lot of fans have pretty high expectations which whilst understandable in some ways, tend to ignore just how big a job is needed. You said especially from those attending VP. I was pointing out that I'll be attending VP. I know what you mean. I hope you're wrong because I see it being a lot harder than most people seem to think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about I produce my findings in a report...."The Tailor Report", maybe? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The criteria for the banning of any suit would simply be determined by asking one question- "Would Charles N'Zogbia wear it?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 9 hours ago, rubberman said: I kind of get what you mean TRO, but frankly we don't have time. It will be vastly better to get promoted this season and that means getting top 2 to be sure. Which means we need to hit the ground running and start the season fast. As we all know (and I hope RDM does), the squad needs an overhaul - at least half a dozen out and at least the same in. But this time, it needs to be a balanced squad, with a clear plan for how they're going to play and players recruited to fit that. The longer we stay down, notwithstanding the loss of parachute payments, the more we will become a 'championship club' with that level of player and we have to avoid that. So for me the absolute minimum expectation is to be top 6 all season. Time for Dr X and RDM to deliver. My fear is the expectation will consume us all. I agree with all of what you say, but equally and I know it sounds paradoxical...the pressure needs to be balanced on RDM .....too much will have an adverse effect.

What I like about that GIF is the combo of forward thinking Chinese optimism and historic English football phraseology, its a good blend. UTV(era)! Also it exemplifies why Tony is good at communication. I bet it was his idea. Edited June 15, 2016 by Jareth 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted June 15, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted June 15, 2016 Randy blessed us with about 4 statements in 10 years involving shumanites and romantic nourishment. If that was how he spoke to his underlings no wonder we bombed. I get the feeling Tony will be very clear in his instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 sportingintelligence @sportingintel 53m53 minutes ago Was at Villa Park yesterday with Tony Xia as his takeover finally, formally completed at 3.25pm when Randy Lerner's bank received £52m. 1/2 Xia showed League he has £600m cash in the bank. League tell me: 'Our inquiries showed nothing to be concerned about.' Story later. 2/2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
