Chinese players are **** terrible, and they will be terrible for a long time. the benefit is huge. And I am only talkin about direct benefit from transfer fee. For example, Athletico Madrid got a Chinese player 4 years ago, who played in their youth team then in B team. He is nowhere close to the 1st team. Last year, he was bought by Guangzhou Evergrande on a transfer fee of 5 mil euros. I can go on but my point is, a direct benefit if there are youth players (with ok quality) from china is, they can be sold back to China with 10-100 times more transfer fee than what they are worth. This is simply because China super league only allows 3 foreign and 1 Asian players to play on pitch. Last year, the most expensive domestic player transfer fee was something like 10 mil pounds in China. I highly doubt he can play in the 1st team of any club in the championships.

Deisler123 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 BTW, most of clubs in China are owned by super rich business man. And most of them operate their clubs in a very similar way. I can write something about how clubs are run in China, If you guys are interested? This might give some insights to how Xia may run Villa. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 5 just refers to those that are publicly listed on the stock exchange - they have interests in many more companies than that. I posted above that my bet would be that XWHO (link) is one of his main sources of income - it ties in with what Hollis was saying about him and the HUGE regeneration that has been going on in China over the last 10-15 years. Looking at this I actually feel reasonably confident we are going to be OK with this guy, but time will tell. Agreed. The five companies on the public stock exchange have absolutely no way at all to fund a private space exploration, and don't seem to be forming any sort of profit. RECON probably has countless shares in private companies, potentially worth many billions; this would be the only logical solution if Dr X is telling the truth, and he isn't backed by the Chinese government.

R1chuk Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 FFS Villa fans, why do people have to always look on the negative side. We at last have an owner who seems ambitious, if he delivers half of what he is saying, it will be a vast improvement on the last idiot. When dodgy Roman bought Chelsea and oil bought Shitty, their fans lapped it up. The media hate us and want to be negative, don't fall for it, Remain curious people and prepare for one hell of a ride. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd wager he/whoever now owns us have had an influence on us for quite a while. I hope not, that's one of the things I was hoping they would bin! Al thought the new alterations make it slightly better. I would prefer either an emblem or round badge type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's just because of the past few years and huge media influence; the former means we have developed amazing mechanisms that are able to find flaws and loopholes in everything, and the latter because anything the media writes that is half-controversial means money for them.

villaglint Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Can't be arsed to get worried or excited about this just yet. Been following Villa too long and heard so many words that I'll make my judgements on actions and nothing else. I do feel a strong sense of relief that the frankly mental Lerner has now left. Ding dong the witch has gone and all that. Let's see what the next chapter brings. I realise that won't stop VT being its crazy beautiful schizo self but never mind just my two penneth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
