Fowlersrs Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 He's selling us off piece by piece. This is not FFP. This is a fraudster who has no money left... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly that. Although landing on free parking doesn't exist in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Either this is going to end badly (best players gone, possible relegation) or catastrophically (assest stripping/adminisrtation/liquidation) for Xia. He is deluded if he or his backers think he will get his money back from his investment/mad gamble. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO he isn't a willing seller because he won't get his money back, he is hoping someone will become.a.minor investor to prop up the club while he tries to work out how he can move forward.

If he seriously thinks that then he must be on crack. Why would anyone with even half a brain put a investment in a failed state of a football club owned by a bloke that nobody is sure if he has actually any money, or have any access to money at all? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabby Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 No one is going to invest as a minor shareholder to let someone who has overseen our current situation keep control ..at this point ,given we are selling off car parks to keep afloat anyone interested in us will just wait it out until we go into Administration and pick us up for a quid 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villabromsgrove Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Xia says he doesn't want to sell, but he will need to sell players to stay within FFP rules. The sad thing is that Grealish, Chester, Kodjia, Adomah, Hogan etc, etc, would be worth a hell of a lot more if we had a new owner who didn't have to sell players in order to run the club. Xia's fire sale will halve the real value of our assets, and that half of their real value will disappear immediately to pay Xia's creditors. Under a new owner we could sell our better players for their real worth only when the full price was met. We could then reinvest that money in building a young vibrant team. In a few short seasons we would have a team that could challenge for promotion again. The fact is that the man doesn't have a pot to p*ss in. He doesn't currently have two halfpennies to rub together, so when Xia says that he is taking these measures for the sake of the club he is talking bullshit .... he is prepared to hock everything including the kitchen sink to give himself enough time to turn everything Villa related into cold hard cash! He is looking after number one despite the fact that he must know he is destroying Villa in the process. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The controversy, although not quite verifiable, has been there for years. That approach does not seem to work unfortunately. I think a lot of pressure here in the UK might make a lot more noise. I've read all that stuff over the last few days and it casts the view of a 'fantasist' and a 'chancer' which sadly i think that's exactly what he is. Ultimately to Villa's undoing. I hope now England are out of the WC that the media take a closer look and do some honest and reliable reporting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry bud, not going to get involved in speaking about any of that stuff.

Whether it be due to a stubborn attitude or, more likely, a certain (unrealistic) value required in order to pay back original investors, TX will make this whole process long, slow and painful. Never has the phrase ‘death by a thousand cuts’ been so perfectly apt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
