I mean surely it takes more than a few days for the Football League to check if they are fit to run a football club? If Cellino and Carson Yeung can.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyAnty Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I heard they have no intention of playing football at Villa park but instead are for using it to store loads and loads of imported cheap steel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was that in terms of freedom, civil liberties, welfare, GDP and HDI our government is light years ahead of the freedoms a Chinese citizen has. The fact we are having this conversation on an open, unfiltered Internet surely demonstrates the gulf between the two. Like I said, our government is far from perfect, but at least we got to vote for them in elections which are relatively free from tampering. Anyway, that's the last I'll say on the subject. We'll have to agree to disagree, at least we're free to have a opinion! GCHQ say hi. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allani Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 1 hour ago, alreadyexists said: Not sure it's the right thread to discuss the morals and ethics of respective governments but to compare our own, albeit far far from perfect government with the effectively totalitarian Chinese government is just wrong. Chinese citizens can't go on an unfiltered Internet, speak freely, act freely, use social media (it's all banned except a state run one called weibo I beleive), and although rudimentary free markets are starting to occur it is still essentially a communist state. The freedom we have to question our own government openly, and even to state that David Cameron put his balls in a pig, is a freedom not everyone has in the world. As long as they now enable VillaTalk....:-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Do we actually believe the £60m figure or the fact that Pat Murphy would know the actual figure? I don't. No journalist knows the exact terms of any deal. Some are saying £100m, some £75m and now we have £60m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club sales could be too, suppose it's a bit like buying up shares in stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Don't really care about the final sale figure as long as it's finally done by the end of the week/month. Hopefully, new manager next week and the rebuilding job starts. Big task ahead, but with finance certainly not impossible and starting to feel hopeful again already.

If Hollis has got £60m for this shambles of a club, then he has done a good job and earned his commission from Lerner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
