TheStagMan Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I wish we were "a" premier league club. We will be again. Owners will come and go but Aston Villa will never die. We WILL get back to where we belong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntrimBlack Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 It just feels to me like the journalist may have got solid but limited info and has built an article around that. They go from investors to venture capitalists pretty quickly. The bit about Leicester does not sound right. And we have the standard 2 weeks default timing. I suspect at best he may have been told that Chinese investors/consortium are close to being the new owners, and on that basis I will wait and see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Chinese investors are buying up property in a number of English cities, and particularly London. China is where the big `new money' is coming from. It would not be a surprise if they saw Aston Villa and it's associated properties as a good investment.

Guest av1 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 The most important thing is what this will mean for half time refreshments. It seems I'm the only one on here thinking about the important stuff so i googled 'chinese beer' Now admittedly I've not tasted any of the those, i am however still supremely confident they all better than f##king carlsberg.

HanoiVillan Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 The Tsingtao we get in Europe is a decent-to-good quality light lager IMO. I often order when it's available, and certainly it's much nicer than Carling or Carlsberg or Fosters. Interestingly, it's nicer than the Tsingtao you get in China, which has less of a tang to it. Nevertheless, Chinese Tsingtao is still better than every other Chinese beer, China being something of a wasteland for good beer (it's mostly served at room temperature and consumed in small glasses which go 'down-in-one'). Anyway, this China story was just in the Mirror wasn't it? Has it been verified by any reliable sources? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
