Apparently he received some acerbic replies and responses. Don’t use twitter so have no idea on what was said.
All very constructive, polite and full of good ideas I’m sure.

No one was complaining when Mark Warburton was marching us towards promotion for two thirds of a season and likewise when Beale appeared to be doing the same. Sometimes the board can't win, imagine if we'd sold Willock or Chair before this season, everyone would be shouting about our lack of ambition. We need to have a 'next cab on the rank' in order to sell our assets.
I think we can be guilty of recency bias when talking about things like this, which is understandable considering our decline this season but although they're not without fault I do think the board have been unlucky.
I’m not on twitter but you can see the responses if you click the link.
I think the majority of responses are sensible with a clear message of getting rid of Les.
Twitter is well and truly ****** and has been destroyed by Elon Musk. It's awful and barely worth using any more, sadly. For all of its faults, it used to be a pretty good platform.
Sounds like just the guy we'd give four year contract to...

What we need to do is buy the captains of all play off losers or winners if not good enough for prem (eg Lockyer/McFadzean/Bannan(better and more mobile than t SJ)
The captains of those teams have a winning mentality (wm)to have got them as far as the play offs. A WM is very much what we have lacked.
Sonny Bradley is OO contract/being released and looks partic like Dykes so hopefully is a scary defender who could do a job on a free.
We are at ALDI/LIDL don't forget but plenty of bargains to be had if we look close enough.
Bradshaw, Millwall, Yates ,Blackpool, Charles ,Bolton. JCH Peterboro shouldn't cost too much

Don’t even joke about it
A dream centreback pairing with Harry Maguire!
Neil Critchley: Blackpool reappoint former boss as head coach - BBC Sport
Not truly a transfer but...
...Critchley has gone back to Blackpool. I didn't think he had the personality or motivational strengths to be a really good manager but he seemed a decent man and I wish him luck in re-building his career. Who knows, his style may work with some players, in some environments.

Just back from Brighton Man City with some friends - have to say Brighton are a good example of a well run club with an owner who has got it right. I’m not going to go into one about our owners (or useless DoF) but there’s a lot of work and changes needed to get us at least pointing in the right direction.
Matt Lowton been released by Burnley after spending the 2nd half of the season on loan at Huddersfield. Would be a good bit of business by us I reckon if we could get him relatively cheaply !
But he’s 34 next month! & we need younger & quick players
Plus, he's used to PL wages. I don't think they'll be anything 'relatively cheap' about him. I'm really hoping Ainsworth is going to be bringing in younger L1 players looking up, rather than PL players on the way down.
Fair enough, but surely as a back up player in his position , a 1 year deal wouldn't be the end of world. I did say if he was willing to play for a small wage. I don't see us spending much and with his experience he could be a decent squad player.
