So, every man and his dog knows that we're being sold to a Chinese person/group, yet no-one knows who they are. 
I also find this incredible.  How can they keep that secret?

Chinese whispers.

Just searched for Tony Xia Recon Group.

No 1 hit?

I'll give you a clue. It's a news feed and it's not a Villa forum.

I did that too. They're not obsessed, honest.

BBC says we've agreed a deal with Tony Xia, whoever that is.

Now on the BBC as Tony Xia having agreed to buy the club.

I have a list of questions:

(i) how much money does he have?

That concludes the list.

Well, here we go then. I don't trust Randy to sell well, but I think I trust Hollis not to flog the club to a complete charlatan, so let's hope.

I'll add another one:

ii) How much will he pay me?

Well I'm not going to get too excited cos he could be like the chicken brothers at Blackburn or Carson Yeung at the blues for all i know.

But at least I know he's not Randy Fucking Lerner so that's something!

Hold on, I'm bloody confused now.
I thought the Tony Xia story was that 'scam' story doing the rounds a few hours ago and was a rehash of a hoax involving Liverpool.

So, is  this being declared as true now?

Don't set yourself up for a fall people. Not saying it won't be Wanda but have low expectations. Then if it happens... you jizz.

Or, to continue the metaphor, a bit like anticipating a massive erection but end up thumbing in a softie

I'm capable of erections... just not massive ones.
