mwj Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Is that saying worth $102 million... doesn't seem a lot tro be buying a football club? Chairman doesn't mean he's the backer or only backer. Will be interesting to see where the money is coming from and who he appoints to the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mjmooney Posted May 18, 2016 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2016 OK, this is sad old man talk, but... When I was a kid I never thought of the Villa as being 'owned' by anybody except the fans. I would hear of American sports teams being owned by an individual, and I thought that weird, alarming and rather sad. I've struggled with the idea that we were owned by some American bloke. Now we're owned by some Chinese bloke. It just feels wrong. I know that's the way the football is these days, but I don't have to like it. And I find it very hard to rejoice at this news. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sexbelowsound Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 The $102 million networth is a positive for me because surely he can only be heading up a consortium with that sort of wealth. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Seems very difficult to find any info on him. Whether that's a good or bad thing I don't know. Interesting times ahead, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Thank the Lord! It is actually going to happen! It feels very surreal, like I still don't believe we've been sold. Is it definite then? Will Tony get buyers remorse? What's the cooling off period? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may also mean he's not greedy. You don't get over $100 million easily. We don't know much about him or what ventures he's part of to earn that wealth. For all we know the talk of Recon Group is legit which I am sure someone uncovered was worth almost €14 billion. He could very easily be the kind of business man that takes a large paycheck but not to the point where his companies or ventures go without. This could easily be like Wang Jianlin in that his company has dedicated budgets for expansion and investment, Tony Xia could be loaded cause he pays through his business. He's so unknown we have no idea right now but he likely has cash if he's buying a football club in this day and age. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
