All the signs point to the Premier League and Football League turning down Aston Villa’s £60million takeover by Dr Tony Xia’s Chinese consortium, on the grounds that they haven’t the funds to do so. Well-placed sources claim that American Randy Lerner, who is trying to offload the club at a knockdown price, has already been told that Xia will not pass the necessary financial tests. It is the Daily Mail I admit ! Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/ar...nce-revolutionary-proposal.html#ixzz4AzeYSmZV
Well the addition of "Tshintsha Guluva" to their name reduces my fears big time!!!! At least it looks like he is not into shortening club names
Name is too long...they should leave all the existing words in place and add the name of an animal...that would be much better, and shorter
He was MD for Goldman Sachs for 25 years and you don't think he is a billionaire. If he hadn't made several he wouldn't of lasted that long.
Significant wealth is generally reported in some publication or other including Wealth Managers.......I didn't say he wasn't only that there is no reported evidence to say he is
Personally I couldn't care less about the owner - it's the team that I support and, however it happens, if it's successful I'm happy. I've seen a lot of good, and bad, owners come and go in my time but it has never affected my support for the team on the day. Yes - it would be great to have a very wealthy owner who is interested in building the team, being good to the fans and walking on water at the same time - but dream on!
I jumped on what Phil said as he stated that it wasn't the billionaire owner we had hoped for, I was under the assumption that a consortium could be made up of many members, each worth less than a billion, but in total could be worth many billions, he was basing his statement on one member of the consortium therefore I assumed he was struggling to understand what a consortium was.
Some might argue that individual owners get things done and get a higher proportion of their decisions correct than do consortiums. I am sad to have witnessed our most successful chairman ever become a hate figure for the poor decisions he has made, when he has got so much right in his time at the club. It's not an accident that the club has been successful (on the pitch) under his stewardship.
You could be part of a consortium without a pot to piss in! Like I said there's plenty of them about with no money.
When you've worked for Goldman Sachs and its a consortium full of bankers and investors I'd hazard a guess that im correct in assuming they have plenty of money and would be willing to bet against anyone who wants to say otherwise.
