Mic09 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 1 minute ago, VillaJ100 said: Of course it's political. China's president is football mad and wants the country to win a world cup in 20 years. This guy has bought the 5th most successful club in history for rock bottom, if he can get us back in the top half and competing for Europe in a couple of years in the most famous league as the only Chinese owner, he's going to be a popular guy with the government. I hope it's as political as possible. The reason being, China will not f*** around. Anybody remember this from a few weeks back? : https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2016/feb/06/china-football-revolution-world-cup I hope they spend big dollar, and we have a ton of plastic fans and we win the Champions League. And I will be there to watch us lift it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However this guy is a Villa fan, and is wealthy in his own right, ....... he could just continue running his favourite club. Or sell up to another wealthy investor. Did you arrive from 2006? Thought you were talking about Randy for a sec. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PompeyVillan Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Randy Lerner said in his big goodbye about Xia developing Villa Park as a second revenue stream to fund additional spending in the squad. That doesn't sound like a benefactor to me. Again, we'll see. I remain cautious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
