No this reading takeover http://www.royals.org/readingfc-news/Chris-Samuelson-Former-Reading-FC-director-involved-in-Aston-Villa-takeover llast time I checked it was also not illegal to be sceptical of someone's motives

You can assume that if you wish but given this an the similarities between our takeover and that of reading fc I'll remain very sceptical until I see otherwise

http://www.gudavadze.com/court.news.christopher-samuelson-denies-money-laundering-allegations.html there you go, after reading that that was in the telegraph in 2012 gives me my opinion that someone has a chequered past secondly I didn't state anyone was charged with any offence

Retract what? That he has a chequered past, Google Chris Samuelson and FBI I'd say that's chequered

Like I said earlier let's wait and see shall we but as the villa supporters club have asked for a meeting to question the make up of the board I'm hardly on my own in being concerned about this guy that no one has ever heard of buying the club and a point that I've raised before is that why xia didn't appear to have another soul from the recon group attached to Aston villa, every single member of the board is connected to Chris Samuelson who has a chequered past when it comes to having involvement in football clubs if you think this is completely normal then fair enough

New company address at villa park run by a mate of Chris Samuelson called Jamie banfill who from what I hear specialises in shifting money around an no apparent expertise in the health food industry seems completely normal!!

I don't expect him to move to Britain at all but let's see

Specialists? sorry I find that comment bizarre but let's wait an see shall we, we have hardly set the world alight with these billions some of you seem to think we have

If anything untoward is happening at our football club we won't find out for some time yet, I just find it a bit strange that Chris Samuelson an his mates are SO involved in the running of the club that is all I'm pointing out

Lol with another one of Chris samuelsons mates Jamie Banfill!!! now why would villa need a company selling olive oil an Heath products hmmm

Just out of interest which players are out of contract next year?

would be nice if you could find something he has done right within a football club? i think some villa fans are so desperate to be the next man city or chelsea they are willing to accept anything that dr xia says as gospal

you asked for facts did you not?

this is taken from the liverpool echo about chris samuelson He was conjured up by Bill Kenwright in 2004 when the Swiss based financier was head of a body called the Fortress Sports Fund, which promised to invest £12.8m in the Blues but ultimately failed to deliver a single penny. Paraded at an Everton AGM and introduced as a lifelong Evertonian, one doubting fan declared: “Who scored the winning goal in the 1966 FA Cup final?” Clearly stumped, Samuelson stuttered: “Errr, I was a student in Munich in 1966.” The promised investment proved equally as vague. On December 22 2004, Samuelson said: “Cash transfers can take three or four days and I hope it is with Everton by Christmas.” However the money had not materialised by January, and in February 2005, then chief executive Keith Wyness stated that the club had begun to look for other potential investors. Almost a decade later Samuelson became a director of Reading, but left the club in 2014 when the Royals became embroiled in serious financial difficulties.

chris samuelson moves money around for a living, not beyond the realms of possibility he could move money from one bank account to another without xia owing any of it, there is no doubt RECON group exists but the wealth of the company is completely unknown
