Looks like it was part of the deal Lerner made. He sold it a bit on the cheap but with the chance to recoup some of his still eye watering losses. I dont remember Lerner with any fondessness but I dont begrudge him a bit of cash back in his pocket. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brommy Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 As Xia no longer has any significant influence on Villa, he”s not worth fussing over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted May 28, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted May 28, 2019 I take it this £30m is coming out of the owners pockets and not the club's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted May 28, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted May 28, 2019 Nothing like re-running an old hot topic of doom, not even 24 hours after getting promotion. Probably good to keep all the bad vibes in this thread, much easier to avoid that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think anyone is really saying much more than “please **** off” at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I have no idea, what the true picture was, although putting a 29 year old chinese in charge of our club does seem kinda reckless. Lets, let the new owners deal with it.....I have faith they will make the right moves in the fullness of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Wyness not a fan. So which part of Xia's 60,000 Villa Park plan did you actually believe in Keith? Lets forget about both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supervillan78 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I'd honestly forgotten he existed. Does he even have a stake in Villa anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you are feeling overly generous sure, but if we had someone more competent then Xia buy the club we wouldn’t have Eden and Sawiris now, so swings and roundabouts and all that.

sidcow Posted May 28, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted May 28, 2019 I don't really care for Xia but it looks like Rongtian He was there and enjoyed his day. He always came across as a good egg to me and it seems like he has caught the Villa Bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicVillan Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I expect Xia to be quietly bought out now and return home with his honour restored ( in his own mind ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HE went to Uni over here and Supported Villa before coming over. He was working at Vila in a Graduate role??? and was noticed by Xia because being Chinese speaker etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
