    Here's a question. Let's imagine that Villa had a stadium right now that holds 70,000 and over the last two seasons we had won back-to-back Premier League titles, an FA Cup and lost in last season's Champions League final to Barca. Going into this season we had a match day squad of something like this:

    ------------------------Neuer---------------------

    Walker---Pique------Hummels---Alaba

    --------------Koke-----Pogba-----------------

    ----------------------Silva-----------------------

    Bale-------------Aguero------------Neymar

    Subs include: Cech, Lahm, Ramos, Rakitic, Schweinsteiger, Ibrahimovic, Kane. 

    Season tickets range from £450-£750 for adults and match day tickets cost between £30 and £60. 

    What do you reckon our average attendance could be in that situation? 

    Not a lot, our team's average age would be through the roof ;)

    Ok I thought I'd save space by not copying 'Meme's@ Post, but................

    I don't know who Rongtian He is ?  Or what Villans Ho is ? Or who CSL Club Guangzhou are (other than they are in China).

    So should I be overwhelmed, underwhelmed, or just plain whelmed at the fact that there has been a great productive meeting ?

     

     

    Rongtian He was in charge of the China site before Xia took over. He's now Xia's Personal Secretary. The other answers are from MjVilla.

    Also, Guangzhou R+F is an entirely different club from Guangzhou.

    The whole football setup is wrong in this country. Professional clubs put barely any money into grassroots clubs , they just come along and cream the best players from the top of childrens football. Ultimately that reduces the quality of childrens football in the long run ... but thats another story

    This is why Spain has hugely succeeded in international times. Clubs are pumping millions into grassroots football in city-wide operations. Germany is a similar story.

    The English FA desperately need to conduct a Germany-like reform, otherwise English talents will stagnate and we won't even get past the qualifiers of tournaments. However, we keep getting these plonkers in charge who don't do anything.

    I'm okay with Cowans going as long as this paves the way for a modern, forward-thinking replacement. Our academy has been stone-age for years now, and i'm sure we'll see a few more key academy staff leave in the coming weeks.

    I expect results to improve from now on. The transfer window has closed and the squad is starting to settle and blend together, we should have a team that understands each other for two halves of a game instead of just one.

    So you're telling me Doug is selling the club!?

    I heard some billionaire, genius American investor is coming in with millions of pounds, a tycoon and a great mindset. Champions League football, here we come!

    In other unrelated news, the RECON website have an article about plans for Villa. Nice read.

    I'm not sure why people think Xia will experience a drop like Lerner and lose interest. There are already many clear differences between them in business that show that Xia is much more competent than Lerner:

     

    Lerner has not made many business advancements; majority of his fortune inherited from father --- Xia is self-made rich and capable at making business moves

    Lerner is poor at management, failing to get any modern structure running at Villa (no TD, poor board, no football men, etc.) --- Xia gets in a Champions League winning manager, begins to set up a modern academy system, getting tons of sponsors and partnerships, and gets an ex-Man Utd assistant manager on board, who is very likely to know the world-class youth setup they have

    Nobody knows about Lerner's other businesses outside of sport, probably because there are none ;) --- Nobody knows about Xia's other businesses, but it has been proven he has several others that have large amounts of money

    There were absolutely no lines of communications open with Lerner, even the media couldn't get hold of him --- Xia has an incredibly open social media account and so far has been very willing to do interviews. He also has a company website, something Lerner couldn't do because he probably has no other ****ing businesses... :rant:

     

    And here you have my incredibly biased, flawed and angry dig at the man known as Randy Lerner, and my incredibly biased, flawed and happy radicalisation methods of our grand saviour commonly known as Jiantong "God" Xia. :)

    Who would be an acceptable owner then? Someone who's attended 5, 10, 200 games? Lived within 2 miles of VP? Been a fan since birth, and their parents and grand parents? If the net is that narrow, then billionaires might be hard to come by.

    I'd like to point out that Lerner was considered around the 5th richest man in Birmingham during his tenure here (even though he was only a billionaire by a few million), and i'm fairly sure none of the top 10 richest were born in Birmingham whatsoever.

    When recruiting, because of the mega strict wage cap he was enforced

    And yet we still end up in the Top 20 list for wage budgets in the world even with the bolded. Shows how incompetent Lerner was/is, in both football management AND business in itself. :unsure:

    IF we get promoted this season, are we going to sell players like Chester, Jedinak, Kodjia

    I personally think Chester is solid enough to compete in a mid-table PL team at the least. Jedinak will probably go after one or two seasons due to his age anyway, regardless of ability, and we'll have to wait and see how Kodjia competes in the PL
