Vive_La_Villa Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Wyness wil be gone sooner or later and will have made a killing in the mean time. Makes me sick he is anywhere near the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reivax_Villa Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 He came in not knowing how difficult this would be. He is still a good chairman and I am proud that he owns this football club because he has a lot of desire for this club and he is a genuinely nice guy. The problems stem from him being wrongly advised from the moment he stepped into this football club. I believe now he has taken the time to learn more about the game by mixing it with different managers, agents, coaches across the world. I do not think that he will make the same mistakes again. As i said in the Round thread, if we do not get promoted I would not be surprised if he overhauls our management. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 He's not just been poorly advised he's also made bad choices and decisions Buck ultimately stops with him.. Maybe he is out of his depth. Time will tell. Lerner started out alright and look how that turned out. Not convinced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He came in full of promises and enthusiasm and threw lots of cash at useless managers. Is a pattern emerging? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Can we have our own version of Mendes? Surely there must be a Pep to this Mourinho? Steve Round can't be the pinnacle, can he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Disappointing. When you look at Wolves it's quite annoying to see how we've approached trying to go up. The money we've wasted and the time we've wasted on this manager are awful, not looking like much of a good owner at the moment. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honest_bertie Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 What our Tony needs to be doing is contacting that super agent and if he's not prepared or able to work with Villa then contact the next best agent who came second to him. Football lost its soul along time ago if we want to compete we've got to buy the best possible management teams in and thus far Dr T has failed quite dramatically at that. I don't go with the argument Villa were in such a dire state it's impossible to turn ot round any quicker. I think Wyness and Bruce would like us to think that but Wolves prove it is not the case if the right people are put in place. They didn't need multiple transfer windows and time to "change the mentality". For the money Tony is spending and has spent he deserve far better but only he can make that happen and needs to identify that asap. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have already spent the money now - no point contacting a super agent when we have nothing to left spend 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TreeVillan Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Win 4 matches on the bounce, and not a word mentioned. Lose the next game and Xia is the devil incarnate. Fellow Villa fans you never fail to amuse me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He appointed a bad manager in Di Matteo, but which chairmen have never made a dodgy one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also sticking with an underperforming manager A great chairman isn't someone who consistently makes the wrong decision. At the moment he's made more wrong ones than right.

But he has shown that he will give the boot when it is necessary. If we win the next game we will be in the playoffs, and we don't want a Blues/Rowett situation from last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have 34 games remaining, if we repeat the form of the last 5 games we end up with 103pts. It's the same terrible logic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Tony would have looked at last nights Wolves team and thought shit this is supposed to be us. I still think he will completely lose interest in the next few years. It can't be fun seeing the club he expected to challenge for top 4 in 5 years team completely outplayed by their smaller local rivals. If he hadn't had a reality check already. He has now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
