Michael118 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Moyes might have but definitely not Pearson. Irrelevant though as Moyes didn't want to come here. I wasn't a fan of Wyness from the beginning or anybody from the initial photo with Xia except Xia himself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fake news!! Has to be. As if the club have some idea of what they're doing. I'm calling bs on this whole article. It's obvious we're really on the verge of bankruptcy, heading towards £1 billion worth of fines for falling foul of FFP, all playing out against the background of eye-wateringly embarrassing football driven by an over-the-hill, tactical dinosaur with no idea of how the modern game of football is played. #FML. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HolteExile Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 My issue with Xia on all this isn't so much the notion that we have to get rid of players and streamline (we clearly do). Only a loon would expect us to add to a squad with close to 45+ players already and not ditch some in the meantime. There's an argument to say that for every player we bring in this summer (if we take it we are targeting 3-4) we need to see three depart. If that can be done early, then great. But players who we want shot of might not feature too highly on other clubs shopping lists. So I would be content if it's 3-4 in and 12-15 out by the end of the window. A cursory glance at our recent history tells us that putting the idea out there that we need to sell to buy isn't healthy. It downgrades the clubs image to the fans, media and even the type of decent players who we would hope to target to bring in and make the difference.

thabucks Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 (edited) Suspended by the FA from all footballing activities for 3 weeks..... Not ideal timing...!

alreadyexists Posted June 1, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted June 1, 2017 Bugger. Will that affect transfers and stuff? TBH I'm not exactly sure what KW does on a day to day basis, is players contracts and transfers his remit? Ah well, I'm sure it'll be fine. Someone else can do his role for three weeks and the transfer window is open for months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 (edited) Right then find the tweet... edit: it sounds like someone has tweeted him a video which he's watched and retweeted what he hasn't spotted in that the video came with a derogatory comment about disabled people old man on social media strikes again I think and I don't be more worried if we as a club haven't got 5+ people who can step in to his role for 3 weeks during this stage of the season Edited June 1, 2017 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted June 1, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted June 1, 2017 (edited) It does seem like that doesn't it? Three weeks is nothing tough, just a slap on the wrist really. It's not like he's done a Glen Hoddle on it. Edited June 1, 2017 by alreadyexists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
