I suggest that the thread would most benefit from you continuing to post your opinion of the club's current owner and his performance and from other people posting their opinion(s) without anyone being accused of mounting any sort of campaign.

Great, there's a hang up on the term 'campaign' - mea culpa. Let's forget that term, let's refer to the continuous repeated message that Tony is not very good - I ask why anyone thinks this - what do you think?

mjmooney Posted August 4, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) Thing is, if we suggest to Tony X that there's someone behind him, he'll probably say "Oh no, there isn't". Edited August 4, 2016 by mjmooney 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone thinks 'Tony is not very good'. As a sceptic, read my post from the previous page. And @Deisler123 excellent post afterwards which does a brilliant job of summing it all up. I think your interpretation of some posts made here are, sadly, incorrect. Goodnight all. Let's have another decent signing tomorrow. That'd be nice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) Tony's looking to expand his LHG business in India. Just at the investigative stage at the moment. Edited August 4, 2016 by useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 he needs to stop his petty feud with Holloway for a start, he isnt a 12 year old (I hope he isnt) and needs get the **** off Twitter. only caused more problems than its worth if wants interact with fans he should do a weekly blog or something on website 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I don't really get this too early to judge. Of course we can't make a complete judgement, that could take years. Look at Lerner, peoples opinion on him as an owner changed drastically. It's clear though that at the moment his actions are backing up the comments he's made. The manager being appointed, the coaching staff put together and the players bought and sold are all major positives. He hasn't given a single reason to doubt his intentions or his plans for the club. The ridiculous list Richard posted not long back just showed how pathetic the concerns over this guy are and I'm sorry, to be that concerned in the face of zero evidence shows a very negative attitude. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowychap Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) Is it Richard's specific list of concerns that are 'pathetic' or is it any 'concerns over this guy'? Edited August 4, 2016 by snowychap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is Xia's main aim for buying Villa. Tony is basically a chancer who, although has enough money to fund the day to day running of a football club, doesn't presently have enough to achieve his lofty ambitions. He is using the club to increase his own profile, credibility and contacts to further his business interests. The Indian academies are a perfect example. Get his foot in the door with politicians then cross sell his urban regeneration and health food businesses to them. In the long run this will be beneficial to both parties as he will get richer and in turn (hopefully) invest more in us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
