TRO Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 13 hours ago, dont_do_it_doug. said: Yeah, I think the Deisler-is-Tony joke has run its course to be honest. Not every Asian bloke is Tony Xia. He's just one of the lads now. I think to say he's anything else diminishes the fact that he actually supports Aston Villa through choice! Really glad you stuck around D and hey, you get to watch this club rise from the ashes. Even if it may take a while yet. A really interesting post....love your views. Tony is like a breath of fresh air to us, but he too is only WIP......However, despite the mistakes he makes, and he will, you have to praise and encourage his welcome enthusiasm.Owners need encouragement too. by the way.......There is nothing wrong with Nationalism, I welcome it and admire the passion from it, as long as we all have a bit of tolerance and consideration that each person feels the same about their country or in our case club. you are a valued member of the clan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 15 hours ago, Deisler123 said: Jareth, I started to follow Villa, simply because of Tony. To be precise, because of him taking over Villa. Well, that was how it started, at least - now, I am well beyond that level as a Villa fan. I have been living overseas (from China) for many years, and like all of you, I am proud of my own country. Very often I came across some negative comments about my country (some do have grounds, some don't), and when that happened, I feel quite sad, and sometimes furious and helpless. I always want to prove a point, but sometime I actually think (and know) it is worthless to prove that point. Nevertheless when I saw Xia was about to takeover Villa, I came here to observe how people think about him. I want him to be successful (so to Villa ofc). Soon I became a villa fan, naturally and happily. I don't mind people call me Tony, not at all - I know people are having fun with it, so it is cool- although I don't think I have to clarify I am not Tony. To me, Tony is very different to normal Chinese businessmen (especially those who own football clubs), possibly due to his education background in western countries as well as his family background. That is key for him to be successful in European football imo, and why he may not be successful in football in China. It is just a pity that he does not have too many links with Chinese football, either through business or links between clubs. I have mentioned at VT a few times that I hope that his ownership of Villa can help football in China (in its most general sense). This was really my motivation of supporting Villa at the beginning, and still is. Last, let me say this forum is really a great place to be in. You guys' enthusiasm in football is simply amazing. Last season I saw how you 'celebrated' in the last home match, and I absolutely admire your love to your club. A club like this deserves, and needs, a top owner. Let's hope Xia is that person - he is not there yet, and certainly needs to do a lot more. Welcome to the family 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Peach of a free kick. Bad news is, scouts from loads of premier league teams are watching this game. Think possibly for Bree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post poitier Posted January 21, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2017 Great free kick, but a team mate did have to tap it 12 inches to him, he can't expect that sort of service here. 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Dodgyknees Posted January 21, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) Just said "VIlla are a fantastic club, Bruce is a fantastic manager and it does turn your head" (when asked about the interest). Also said he will "will see what happens next week." Last man off the pitch, applauding the crowd. Edited January 21, 2017 by DK82 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morley_crosses_to_Withe Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) He's just been interviewed after the game. Definitely leaving. edit: Not that he said it so blatantly but it was obvious. His teammate (Scowen) who they also interviewed could barely pretend Hourihane was staying either.
