I think he'll want to go up this year, but he knows the mess we were in. If we can ship out 2 or 3 I think we might see some real quality come in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, he's deffo selling up if we don't get promotion, having spent 50 mill on transfers then 50 mill on the club, he will listen to offers near 25 mill - if only he had cashed in on Amavi. Clearly hasn't thought any of this through. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but you are wrong. If what you said (i.e. Xia bought Villa and gets it back to a top six club in PL and sell Villa for a profit) were true, then it will need to take at least 3 years, most probably 5 (if we were lucky). And to achieve that, he will need to invest a lot more than the net profit he can possibly make in re-selling Villa. With the same amount of money, he can invest in other business sectors and get much more profit in a much shorter time. I think a lot VTers (including myself) have mentioned that his motives in owning Villa is, in addition to his enthusiasm in football (to a lesser degree I have to say because he is a businessman after all), to have an 'indirect' and more importantly long-term way of increasing the 'value' of his own or his company's brand. Of course this is even better, if you place his ownership of Villa in the current football 'environment' in China, because the potential gain could be huge. I think the point you raised is illogical, IMHO. 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikantcpell Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Would be great if we could bring Matt James,Conor Hourhane and perhaps carl jenkinson. The man united goalie Sam johnstone would be great aswell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
