omariqy Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I think this is probably the 17th time I have said this but the £10bn figure is assets under management. Considering they are working on large scale projects in cities they may be overseeing the management of buildings, machinery etc. These will either be leased or just managed by them. Therefore this does not translate to assets the company owns and therefore assets that Xia owns. I.e. that is not an indication of his net worth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may also own only 20% of these companies as well. It is very hard to know what he actually is worth.. he probably doesnt know himself. Lets just hope he can at least pump 50 mil a season into the club and i would be happy with that. Maybe 100 the season we go up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we should give them a bloody decent redundancy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We employed about 400 more staff than the likes of West Ham and Everton. We were probably the most over staffed club in the country! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find that a bit weird, obviously difference is culture etc.... but if an English bloke took over some foreign club I would forget that piece of news within 2 seconds and would genuinely not give a shit.

Lowest average attendance in history? I think you'll be surprised. We have had hardly any wins at home in the last 4/5 years and we'll probably match the amount we did next season! We have a new owner (hopefully) and with the appointment of a decent manager the crowds will be there. Most fans go to watch the Villa not because it's in the PL but because we are fans. We will easily have 35000 next year if we have a glimmer of success. Xia has said the Newcastle game was a big factor in getting the deal signed. If he is true to his word we might have some good times back at VP. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think our average gate to be higher than this year. Be great to see VP more full 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
