HanoiVillan Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) On the whole, 'is he really a racist' thing, here's the verdict from the tribunal: The report described Logan as an “impressive witness”. It added: “He gave his evidence in a careful and measured manner. He gave clear and unequivocal evidence that Mr Tonev had used the language complained of and that it had been targeted at him.” However, the panel stated they were unable to accept the Bulgarian as “either credible or reliable” on the central issue of the case. The report continued: “His evidence on his understanding of the language said to have been used, was particularly unsatisfactory. “In chief examination his evidence was to the effect that he did not know what the word ‘word removed’ meant. “On cross examination he explained that he had heard the term in his time at Aston Villa but did not know what it meant. He then accepted that he was aware that it was a term of abuse. “The impression was of a witness giving a less than a full account of his actual understanding; and seemed to the tribunal to be an inherently improbable account.” Edited June 20, 2015 by HanoiVillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted June 20, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted June 20, 2015 He was useless, just not up to the standard. Please get rid of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 “In chief examination his evidence was to the effect that he did not know what the word ‘word removed’ meant. If only he had spent a bit more time on Villatalk. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risso Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 im sure people said Cleverley was useless up until March Dont agree that Tonev has same skillset but i be willing to give him a 2nd chance to prove me wrong I wouldn't. He was the poorest of Lambert's poor buys, which is quite poor indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Twitter alert The Holte @TheHolteTweets 3h 3 hours ago Ludogorets Razgrad want Tonev for cheap. Think @StanPetrov19 should subsidise the wages, was your idea mate! #AVFC AVFC Transfer Tweet @AVFCTransTweet 17m 17 minutes ago @StanPetrov19 what happened with him at the villa then mate? Pace? League challenge? Stiliyan Petrov @StanPetrov19 17m 17 minutes ago @AVFCTransTweet bad management I would say. He also agreed that Tonev shot from ridiculous angles. And he also agreed that he disliked the style of football. Maybe Petrov trying to save face. You cannot blame management, you can blame Lambert for signing him, but no amount of good management could make Tonev a player. Easily the worst 'footballer' we have had during my lifetime.
