srsmithusa Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 In the states. Villa would have solid grounds to legal suit against the FA and against the individual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 (edited) The disqualification criteria in Ginkos Post would take about 5 minutes to confirm. I presume the lengthy stuff is tracking/tracing finance. Edited May 30, 2016 by terrytini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hev Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I dont remember Man City having all this crap. As i recall they were just taken over and immediately signed players like Robinho. Also dont think Everton have had all this either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPower_14 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 It's absolutely **** outrageous that Xia has to be declared fit and proper by two separate bodies because we've been relegated if that is the case as has been reported. Pick one and go with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, takeover in the morning on deadline day and before I'd finished my breakfast bids in for Robinho and Berbatov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they just googled Sheikh Mansour and saw within a few minutes that he was worth whatever amount of billions and just said "yep this Sheikh fella is fine" Maybe Tony's privacy is slowing the process down a bit?

There's nothing to stop Xia gifting (or loaning or sponsoring or however City did it) the club £100m to get the silly season started while we wait for the rubber stamp, but I imagine he's a bit more risk-averse with his money than a Sheikh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zak Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Ok, so if lets say "Hypothetically" Tony and other Chinese counterparts (like the Chinese Government) put £400m in an Escrow account, i presume that they would pass all these tests? Can imagine that this deal will be going through pretty soon!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got another approx two and a half weeks to wait so no point in getting anxious yet. There's no reason for it to stop the appointment of a manager but seeing as we've gone three months without one now and I think we've hit the point where there is too much to do in such a short space of time for any realistic promotion campaign that an extra two weeks isn't going to do any harm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's clear the process is more stringent these days, plus City weren't in the Championship... Us being in the Championship adds another layer of bureaucracy insofar as we need Championship and Premier League approval. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
