hippo Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 23 hours ago, Zatman said: For all Xia faults I think Hollis should be another one never allowed near Villa Park again since he is held in high regard by some. He was the clearing in the woods that brought Xia to the club and approved the owner His brief was to find a buyer - nothing more nothing less. The fact that we were up for sales for two years and the best that could be found was Xia - should worry the hell out of villa fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that we were up for sales for two years and the best that could be found was Xia - should worry the hell out of villa fans. At the time of the sale, Hollis stated that there were 2 or 3 interested parties but Tony was the preferred option as they (Randy & Hollis) liked his vision for the club. I rewatched the interview Hollis gave recently to remind myself. Edit - interview can be found here Quote Aston Villa chairman Steve Hollis tells BBC Midlands Today that he is impressed by prospective new owner Dr Tony Xia's ambitions for the club. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36331618 Whether Tony was the best, who knows? But it seems slightly strange that a few weeks later Wolves were bought by another Chinese group. Although I still don’t like the set up there, Fosun are clearly better owners.

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Unpopular opinion. However if things turn out the way we think they should. He should get some credit for chucking everything at it for 2 years and passing us on to the "right" people. IMO of course. Meanwhile everyone has been having public meltdowns, perhaps he has been working on a deal like this, and secretly Wyness is seething because HE wanted to make a few mill off of us via a deal fit for himself? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 The new guys are obviously letting him be the boardroom mascot like Randy allowed Doug to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to say that's a very unpopular opinion, there's a big difference between chucking everything he had at it and chucking everything the club had at it risking the future of the club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villianusa Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 He tried and it didn't work out, but at least he found someone to move us forward. He may have held on longer than some had wanted, but now it seems just about the right time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveAV1 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Xia said he had problems because of The Chinese economy. The Brum Mail interpret this as the old argument that he couldn’t get money out of the country. That isn’t what he said, he blamed the economy and since his “empire”, if ever there was one, has clearly crumbled, with reports of him being torn off a strip by their stock exchange, he is using the economy as an excuse for the mess he has created. Are the journalists at The Mail now incapable of understanding even basic English? Even the version used my Xia. It beggars belief that these people are the main voice for our great city. No wonder we get ignored! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I wonder if he might have some sort of deal which would allow him to be able to have a part to play in future development with Recon or whatever? Birmingham City area and such I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
