One fan quite rightly asks the owner of Aston Villa, just who is running the place?

I always have time for muppets expressing how many feel with what is going on, this one especially!

Dave Woodhall, of Heroes and Villains, is putting in for the job. Knows more about Villa than the numpties we’ve had running it lately that’s for sure.
I've spent thirty years telling them how to run the club. I reckon I'll get the chance by the end of the week.

The state of our club at the minute ????

And this just about sums it all up, the talk when Round came in was of a Villa engine, he was going to sort us out and allow Aston Villa to develop a style of play. As the one tweeter says, looks like he failed the MOT!
Failed the MOT.

This post could well end up close to the truth, people are saying Bruce out but I’m not sure they realise no one else will want to walk into this shambles. If I was Steve, I have to admit, I’d be thinking of walking. Not only because he has no funds at all but also because he’ll be on a hiding to nothing due to the split fan base. And yes, I understand why there are splits but I think the problems we have are far above his head at the moment.
and people want Bruce to leave? im amazed he hasnt walked out already. Who would want to be in charge of this club. Im not Bruce biggest fan but geez.. we are certainly not going to get anyone better with @Dr_TonyXia still in charge

And a twitter selection is never complete without one from Gordon Ramsey!

Frightening mess we are in folks. Some still don’t quite get the shambles that is ensuing and a few are even still sticking up for Tony Xia and what he’s done. I don’t get it. We’ve gone from out of the frying pan into the fire sadly.
