Theres no doubting he been awful so far since joining but he took tike to find his feet when he broke through at Nice and i think in time he will at villa too.

He is a nervous wreck just needs to calm down. It will come.

Thoughts on the changes in financial rules Matt?

Also got to remember the club is in the middle of a crazy injury crisis right now. Get the right manager in, good Jan window, get some players back from injury and win the treble and this will all die down again 🤣

Yeah fair enough mate. I took the comments about bullies being about a certain minority of fans that are taking things too far but its also fair to say both the board and certain shareholders could have handled it better.

Not saying there should be no criticism but the way GB etc have behaved is unacceptable and its a case of be careful what you wish for is you ask me.

A new owner can come in and spend 15-20m on signings but the quality wont be any better you will just be over paying like you did with engels and idah. Better quality players just do not want to play and live in Scotland its as simple as that.

Almaty happens now and then when the club are in a transition I think which every club has from time to time. Not thst there shouldn't be criticism but it will happen under any regime. The main blocker is the league not the board imho.

Yeah i think almaty is an exception though I think he just means getting into the knockout rounds is tough. Main reason I think ramgers do better in europe though is that unlike cemtic they dont demand managers who want to play expansive football so they end up more suited to low block counter etc.

He was reading out a statement from Dermot wasnt he? What bit did you think was inaccurate?

Rebirth of cold

Do you think we should be more expansive?

Just not Clarke 🤣

Thanks! Absolutely buzzing. I was 15 when we last went to a WC, im 41 now 🤣

Who would you like to manage Scotland?

Prefer the Levien years aye?

At this point 🤣

I cant believe what im reading. 23 years of nothing before he joined and since then hes made 3 out of 4 majors. Denmark brought on subs tonight that would be in our best 11. He has a 42yo GK from hearts bench and half the team are championship level. Give the man some credit ffs.

What a night.

Villa shirt, kilt and a tartan tammy. Sorted.

Be funny if he supports Vissel Kobe!

Yeah this is what works for me. Break sentences down into parts almost with pauses. Summarising afterwards to make sure we all understand and agree helps too. Takes more time to communicate than normal but less time than it does when people go away with the wrong understanding causing rework etc.

Yeah this is it. I work closely with colleagues overseas and the language barrier does cause problems but like you say they are speaking in my language because I cant speak in theirs. I find it helps to break everything down to very simple elements like im speaking with a machine lol.

In writing I should add

Sometimes in this scenario I find it easier to communicate over teams 🤣

Your general commentary seems to be that any attempt to tax the wealthy in any way is pointless as they will just find ways around it. Be helpful if you could suggest clear alternatives.

💯 on emery.

They spent far more than hearts spent. Engels cost more than hearts starting 11 lol. No excuses.

We should but football is never that simple thats why you dont take risks. Emery always makes one or two many key changes in these situations like early rounds of cups etc and its bitten us on the ass too often now. You cant rest everyone in the same game you rest players one by one or 2 at a time.
