I'm not an accountant but I assume we would be. Going into Administration would mean that whoever owns the debt would have to take a write down on it to keep the club solvent.

Alakagom Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 It's quite simple. Xia still believes in few years we can get to Premier League. Cardiff has shown spending next to nothing can mean promotion. If we go up to BPL the value of the team will increase tenfolds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubbs Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 To make it to the BLP the club needs to exist and the way this moron is going our club will not be around long enough to get promoted. If we go into administration we lose points so no promotion that season either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, we won the title last season but his promise 'homegrown talent and attacking style of play' is total bs. Its purely business for him, he sells every player he can and sacks managers for no good reason... patience of the fans is slowly running out, i don't want him anywhere near the Villa. You won the title and your saying he is no good?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hippo Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Seems to me Xia won't sell to anyone outside china. Perhaps he can lean on a few people in china to look the other way - where as if he sells elsewhere any sale will be scrutinised more closely ....all IMO of course.

Sam3773 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 (edited) Brum Mail reporting that Xia is now in the country. https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/tony-xia-jets-crunch-talks-14909673.amp?__twitter_impression=true Quote Tony Xia has jetted into London and is expected to meet with senior Aston Villa officials to discuss the times ahead. The owner was last in the country for the play-off final defeat to Fulham - the catalyst for Villa’s summer of misery. Since losing at Wembley, Villa have endured a worrying period of uncertainty, with Xia remaining in China. He told his assistant, Ho, and chief commercial officer Luke Organ, to break the news to Steve Round about his sacking.

Not trying to be a snark but when it comes to the next owner, just cos they are not the current one does not mean they are better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans of the three English teams he's turned around before rave about him. So you are correct, @Jareth not all grass will be greener, but this grass isn't exactly unknown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you, I'm just reflecting on some gushing Randy comments of late, the whole but yeah at least it was his cash is a shocking argument, Randy put us here, Tony has completely screwed it up though. The next person in is vital, not sure Mandaric is the answer, nor some speculative American group. I think I'm coming around to the argument that we need someone motivated and loyal, my god Howard Hodgson just popped into my mind - and my god that makes me choke. But I see why.

It's all about making quick profit for him. To be fair based on what I have read, he is always honest in saying that "eventually he will leave, but your club will be debt free and on a better footing". Surely he should get some credit for developing a team good enough to win the title in the first place? I understand your sentiment though. He still seems smarter than our current bunch though. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
