I think it's like Oxford and Cambridge, everyone knows they're smart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakotaDakota Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Baggies officially sold to chinese group this morning so in the space of a month or two 3 clubs within 20 miles have all been bought by chinese owners & tony now has some competition that wasn't there before. We're going to end up with one combined "West Midlands Village" team in a giant super-city aren't we..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would anyone merge clubs? Xenophobic much? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guochuan Lai is apparently valued at £2bn, which is not far off what i'd expect Xia to be worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 i thought FA rules prevented ownership of more than one club and yet now the Chinese government own 3 in the midlands alone ... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Baggies owner wants continuity and a top half finish. That is his stated ambition. If i was a tesco bag id find that underwhelming to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a stark difference between them and us, with them you're just buying a football club, with us you're buying an institution. Tony won the #BuySomethingExpensiveCup if you ask me!

I'm guessing he's intimating that whilst the good Dotor and his team fully researched Villa and have a big grand plan, he's hoping that the new Chinese owners who have followed suit and bought clubs in the Midlands aren't just buying them as fashionable toys to play with, and actually have a plan.
