Could dr xia just the public face and frontman with the Chinese government providing the financial clout behind it? Back to the Reuters page, that says he's starting 3 or 4 new subsidiaries. Possibly another miscommunication? starting not buying? The money he's investing in them is small, compared to buying Villa, only 1-5 Million. I really don't know what to make of this guy, it seemed great to start but now all I see is a big pile of questions. Maybe I'm my view is coloured by the bad experiences of Brum, Citeh and Cardiff with Asian owners. I'm wondering about him being the public face of the Chinese government too, it seems a viable explanation but does anyone know if they use this method to invest abroad or do they have official investment companies set up like the Qutaris?

dorset lion 391 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 It appears there has been a lot of bullshit floating about this past few days, problem is being a liar will not stop him passing a fit and proper persons test as the Italian at Leeds is a convicted fraudster. We will have to see what unfolds in the coming days, I suspect the media will be digging for a story if there is one. Link to post Share on other sites

SofaSupporter 74 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 You don't get rich doing acts f goodness being especially at 39. Maybe someone have him a small lend like of a million as Donald trump puts it so mildly. Lerner is gone Dr x is here. If he sells coke or is mates of wolverine I couldn't care less. Just give the fans what they have have been starved of on and off the pitch which is positive entertainment. To all you folk that renewed, let the good times roll Link to post Share on other sites

Morpheus 51 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Did any other wealthy owner in the Premiership or elsewhere have to put up with this much scrutiny in the press and then having to disclose their finances to justify their integrity? Seems a bit surreal to me at the moment but hopefully everything will be ok. Link to post Share on other sites
