Jareth Posted June 30, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted June 30, 2018 Yeah Ho's off, so it's done, Tony is letting go, the right thing to do in the end. Looking forward to a fresh start and hopefully an owner who can make it happen for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted June 30, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted June 30, 2018 Regardless of one's belief in twitterers this chap has reared his head of late and has got a couple of things out in advance of press if memory serves - then again it is wonderfully vague.

He's a tough one to gauge as he is so vague. Got a few things right, plenty wrong. He did say a bid was in from holland days before the B Mail said a European bid has been knocked back. I set him a trap though and linked to the Comer Bros article from pre Lerner and he then said they wanted to buy us. Instinct says BS however I've already heard something pre Wednesday to be said, but that could easily be guessed at due to the squad returning to pre season then. #dontpanic #Tuesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEgo Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Quote China: Xia Publicly Rebuked While the problems continue to mount up for Tony Xia in B6, he has suffered further humiliation in China after being public censured by the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Problems surrounding his company Lotus Health and a transfer of shares in a subsidiary have caused the Shanghai Stock Exchange to make public their displeasure and to inform the local government of their decision. Was this posted already? (I know the villaleaks blog has, but has this article?)Apologies if so. Xia in trouble with the stock exchange now....tut tut https://villaleaks.com/china-xia-publicly-rebuked/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What other clubs have that? Didn’t th club announce that Chinese lady (her name escapes me at present) was running club at present? The Trust letter is embarrassing to be honest.

TheEgo Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Ho as since deleted his instagram post. It's in the B Mail though for those that which to check it's authenticity. Quote A vague post on Instagram by boardroom member Rongtian He has left Aston Villa fans scratching their heads over the meaning of his update. Tony Xia's right-hand man, also known as 'Ho' posted a cryptic and somewhat reflective post on social media about his time in Birmingham. It featured a picture of the city centre and a message in Chinese which translates as: "At the stage of work stress, I really want to do good and good. "Since I didn't plan to come to this city to study and work life five years ago, even if I lost everything I got in the future, I will miss it." #stayhungry #cityview # Fridayvibes https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/cryptic-message-aston-villa-boardroom-14849171 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam3773 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 You lot are optimistic. Ho was at the club pre-Xia so him leaving, if indeed he is, probably doesn't mean much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might have been here before xia bought us, but considering it wasn't a major role beforehand and since xia bought us he has been considered xia's main man and his eyes and ears I'd say any news that he is leaving is pretty indicative that something is afoot.

Both very fair points, and you are correct, Ho's role has been greatly increased under Xia. I'm just keeping things balanced. Perhaps Xia could be well on the way to the exit door, but he could also have decided to stay and try to fix things. You can read his tweets both ways. Maybe Ho is leaving with Xia. Maybe Ho is as fed up as the rest of us and has chosen to move away from the undoubted amount of grief he's been getting on the socials. Time, as always, well tell all.
