TBF we have 3.. Hutton is a new converted Left back nowadays. I'd offload Elmo and Bree as RDL is useful backup and is the better of the 3 imp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End of the day you would trust your CEO. Would love to hear the truth one day. Don't let good vibrations or intentions get in the way of some good old VT outrage.

I've got no idea what goes into creating a website but it's clearly not easy, so hats off to Limpid and the rest of the team for VT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just thankful that we can pay the bills.....The rest, I will see how it unfolds, false dawns and all that. We must remind ourselves that QPR had very rich owners, but didn't spend much................its their intentions that will be interesting to see, but whatever it is, at least it looks like they are who they say they are, that in itself is a plus. I am not expecting too much, just gradual, sensible progression......If they want to fast track that, it looks like they have the wherewithal to do it.

The fact that when you Google their names you get some results back is a good sign, unlike when Dr 'can't buy a suit that fits' took over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If holding out for the right ones, was literally a day before Administration then yes I guess so. He could of and should of done something sooner. Wyness is a p**ck, however Xia hasn't been too clever either. So he doesn't get a pass from me. I can't wait for the new guys to take full control. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 So is this plan b all along now? Basically this looks like a staged takeover so Xia won't have to lose face on his disastrous investment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The construction and fertiliser company’s shares fell almost one-third during the protests leading up to former president Hosni Mubarak’s resignation in February 2011. They later rallied to pre-revolution levels, but recently slipped again, due to the travel ban that was placed on Sawiris and his father. Sawiris is the 4th richest man in Africa and also owns big stakes in cement giant Lafarge, and Texas Industries." So another situation where our fates are dictated by markets around the world. I guess that is the fate of everyone now but football has certainly come a long way from the game I knew as a kid. Anyway always worth keeping optimistic especially when it comes to Villa otherwise we'd have all topped ourselves by now. He seems several factors richer than Tony which is a decent start and has even partnered with someone who knows how to run a sports business. The proof as always is in the points total at the end of the season. But I will take a few days less depression and a glimmer of hope! From the sounds of it I'm several factors richer than Dr Tony. I'm cautiously optimistic about this (once bitten and all that) but being cautiously optimistic is a million times improvement than this time yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man is a complete fraud and so very nearly destroyed our very existence. I cannot and will not give this charlatan one iota of credit for this takeover ( no pun intended). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Lerner did the same and look how that ended up. He tried. He failed, he got us better owners. In a few years time he might not be so hated. Wyness on the other hand.
