ramshackler Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 This is Carson Yeung mark 2 for me. He owns 5 controlling stakes in the HKSE? - but where is any disclosure or interest reports with him or RECON? He has just bought an internationally known football club, something had to be disclosed. Employs 35000 people, yet not even a tidbit of information about him anywhere online in 2016. This is apparently a young genius who specialises in technology and investment, yet has no recognisable brand anywhere? Again simply not possible. I'd love to be positive, I hope it all goes well but I'm not naive. There is more than meets the eye to this one 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has the money to buy villa - Carson yeung struggled to raise enough to even buy blues - I don't believe Yeung went to Harvard ! sure he could be a dodgy owner, equally he could be very good for us. Wrong to judge him at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is leading some peoples minds to go down the road of 'he isn't Randy, so he's probably brilliant', others are imagining a worse case scenario. It will probably be somewhere in between the two, but I'd feel much better if we knew more about him and especially where his money has come from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a reasonable response and as the excitement tempers it's where I'm at too. I'm sure we will though, soon. After the shit we've been through over the last 5 years, I'm more than happy to give it more than 16 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jem Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Glad to see our great club has at last been sold, hopefully to an entrepreneur who will supply the necessary funding to firstly get us back into the Premier League in one season,naturally there may be concerns about the new owner but one thing is certain somebody has forked out £50/£60 million to buy us and I would have thought that Lerner would have carried out a degree of scrutiny before he signed us over. Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitman_Pod Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 http://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-soccer-england-avl-sale-recon-idUKKCN0YA0W5 Quote Xia said he will spend between 30 and 40 million pounds on new players for the upcoming season, and will announce a new club manager in the next two to three weeks. Aston Villa, the historic English club that was relegated from the English Premier League this season, was one of eight Premier League clubs that Xia considered for acquisition, he said during an interview in Beijing on Thursday.

I'm yet to find out if he gives a decent hair cut. The initial statements provided to both clubs. The mention of how successful they both are at business, without any real evidence to support this. No online presence and unknown quantity. As I say, if the statement is true around the companies he owns. There would be documentation on line to confirm. So far the only thing g most have managed to find is an argument between him and a professor fang arguing Xia had lied / exaggerated his academic achievements.
