The Takeover Thread - Recon Group - NOW WITH NEW POLL

[LeeB]

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.

[Matt C]

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.

[cdbearsfan]

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.

[HK Villan]

BBC reporting its a done deal.

[django]

Sorry 'Dr' Tony Xia.

[Monty]

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.

They are indeed

I'll add another one:

ii) How much will he pay me?

That really made me laugh

[cdbearsfan]

He's there.
He's here.
He's Doctor Tony Xia.

[django]

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!

[Smirker]

Mad ting.

[andyh]

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.
