Too many empty shelves for my liking, phone doesn't look connected, books neatly stacked, and what's that dodgy ship all about - that office was rented.

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 What I like is that both "reputable" publication which came out with the sensationalist claims intilling doubt, were addressed within days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lerner is a prize plum, but the fit and proper persons test isn't to assess ones stupidity. Though he may not be a very good business man, his businesses are above board. Someone like Cellino (sp?) Or the Sha hairdresser would have been better examples of the seemingly pointless practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarpie Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) When it comes to his Harvard records being made private, or secrecy around his wealth etc, it doesn't mean he has anything to hide, it could just mean that he likes privacy. If I'd be rich, I'd certainly do anything I could to minimize any public information you could find about me or my wealth, why should they be open for public anyway? The less info there's about you in public, the better, for anyone, doesn't matter if you are poor as **** or rich as hell.

GENTLEMAN Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I just seen our Tony on CNN being interrogated by the presenter. The interviewer was a total a-hole. kept bringing up LVG and questioning his business acumen. Tony seemed nervous, but said the next coach will be appointed shortly (next few days).

Gary Thomas Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I think he comes across as nervous because on the language issue - I know he studied in Harvard but that was a long time ago. Hopefully will improve when he comes back to England. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender4 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I'm liking Tony Xia so far. 1) Provided proof he has the money, and has at least $435mill liquid funds (not necessarily to spend on Villa) 2) Given interviews to give Villa fans an insight into him and his thoughts 3) Ambitious 4) Seems to have a plan in place to start achieving his ambitions 5) Self-made millionaire/billionaire so some sort of brains 6) Recognises that we are sh1t and the moment, and will need a complete overhaul. My concerns: 1) Samuelson involved 2) Does he realise quite how big a job it is 3) Will he get bored in a couple of years after we don't achieve his immediate targets (not a worry specific to him, but to any new owner).
