Dr_Pangloss Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Lotus Villa Park? Cool, Lotus, a company no one in the West has ever heard of. Also a company doing very poorly http://markets.ft.com/research/Markets/Tearsheets/Business-profile?s=600186:SHH Lotus Health Industry Holding Group600186:SHH 5.31 0.03 / 0.56 % 23.00m 49.24 % 1.17 CLOSE IN CNY TODAY'S CHANGE SHARES TRADED 1 YEAR CHANGE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) If the nice man wants to give us 100m and call it "The Crispy Wonton Bowle" then thank you very much... I will always be watching "The Villa" @ "Villa Park" Edited May 20, 2016 by Kingman 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Perhaps his thinking is that if he associates Lotus with a relatively highly visible British cultural asset that it will help reverse Lotus' fortunes and stop it from tanking? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 They weren't renamed. I'm fairly sure it wasn't called the Etihad since it was built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam3773 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 He could change it to the Lotus Stadium, or Lotus Health Park. Keeping 'Villa Park' to me is important. I don't think Lotus will be written. Almost like a brand. A little Lotus logo in front of the standard big font 'Villa Park'. Like Cadburys Dairy Milk. It will be called Villa Park, except in the media where they'll say "The Lotus Villa Park" I'm all for it, it keeps the heritage and allows the sponsor to put money in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meme Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I'd be willing to add one extra word to our stadium name that everybody would disregard for a chance to loophole FFP (Not like we need it at the moment, FFP does not affect sides relegated from the Championship in their first season) and basically be good for both parties here.

New Fangled inventions. No Problem with Renaming Stadium, we moved out of one when we had just won the double! just because it's a "new invention" doesn't mean it's a good idea. The club could make more money by playing in red, changing the name to 'lucky Dragons' and relocating to inside the m25, doesn't mean those would be good ideas either. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seems to be this strange consensus that selling your soul is the only way to success. And it's part of modernisation. I don't agree. We'd make more money in China if our kit was red and had Chinese players too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
