Popular Post Vive_La_Villa Posted July 20, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2018 I know we all hate xia right now but it sounds like he held out for the right people. I honestly thing the main reason for the crisis was Wyness. I wouldn’t even be suprised if that 3 team and plan if didn’t get promoted bollox was even sold to Tony. End of the day you would trust your CEO. Would love to hear the truth one day. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deal has and the investment has, they need to as individuals in order to be directors on the board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEgo Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Quote The capital injection and transaction have been approved by the EFL and the parties will work through all confirmatory approvals required by the EFL as soon as possible. https://www.avfc.co.uk/News/2018/07/20/club-statement-investment-in-aston-villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 The statement said the injection of cash had been approved by the EFL not that they had as owners or anything, it seems that will come later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, in their case nobody is queuing up to buy a turd no matter how cheap it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post trekka Posted July 20, 2018 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2018 (edited) Admittedly it has been a tough time but it seems Xia has done the right thing. If this turns out to be what we all hope it to be then I think we owe him some praise. Edited July 20, 2018 by trekka 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, don’t forget we already have quite a few right backs on the books in Hutton, Bree, Elmo and De Laet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I like about these two is they are both traceable, they both have their companies listed on Stock Exchanges, so lot's of transparency. It's early days, but these guys could be very good for us. I'm excited I agree.....traceability, crucial for substance. 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying not to go off topic but QPR's owners spent loads! They just spent way too much of it on overpaid players that were passed it and then the spending was reigned in by FFP! Sounds familiar.

Don_Simon Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Although not known as the voice of reason, or even the voice of the majority, I can't believe the amount of love Xia is getting on here and Twitter. He gambled with the entire idea and beig of Aston Villa. We could have gone under. Lerner was absolutely dreadful, but I'd buy him a beer in the Holte Hotel before I let Xia back in the city. A disgrace of an owner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at least these people seem like real business men. Edit: But you're right. The championship is full of billionaire owners. Doesn't mean that much but at least we're still solvent.

A disgrace of an owner. He did and there is no love for him. I just wonder how much he got let down by his employees. An owner doesn't get you in this kind of mess, his CEO and finance team do. Same situation as Lerner although if there is truth about him deciding on managerial appointments then Mcliesh can never be forgiven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
