New owner, new start. New division.

Anyone know anything about him?

Not a thing. Which is terrifying and exhilarating in equal measure.

[Phumfeinz 4,785]

I heard he's a doctor.

[dont_do_it_doug. 18,308]

Nothing. Only that he is sure to be backed by a consortium?

Bit of a heart in mouth moment. 

[DCJonah 14,726]

He's not Randy Lerner and that's enough for me right now. 

[supermon 1,018]

Sky sports saying he will be sole owner, so no backers. He doesn't have much wealth does he?

He's backed by the Chinese government

You can own 100% of something and have financial backing. Bit early to be speculating.

He's not Nigel Pearson so he gets my backing

[DoubtGin 518]

that's a great name

[YGabbana 523]

Inb4 the fickle fans slate him

[Daweii 2,057]

This guy or his group are loaded.. Hearing talk that he's paying the whole thing to Lerner right now which is why it's all advancing fast. This guy has cash regardless of what his personal wealth is. The best owners are the ones spending money from other sources and not their own personal cash, that is where Lerner fell apart as he saw his riches slowly vanish and panicked.

what does he have his phd in

I am very nervous ! I have no idea what to expect ! surely he can't be worse than Lerner ? right ? Hopefully we will have some cash to spend ! and hopefully he doesn't make the same mistake as Lerner and brings in football/Villa people on board straight away to help run the club

I feel the doctor jokes will never get old.

"Gabby's been put on a fitness regime. Doctors orders"

"We signed Messi! Just what the docto.." - you get the idea.

Welcome!

I don't think it's an actual PHD I just think he's boasting about his package which based on the stereotypes is likely something to boast about in China..
