Xia will meet with Football League officials in London on Monday to agree the deal and is set to be confirmed as Villa’s new owner after providing “compelling evidence” of funds.
Compelling evidence? Is that the best he could do?

This stinks more and more.

Very worried now.

Is there any better evidence than compelling?

After this season. I'm less than interested in football apart from the odd kick about in the garden.

The summer is all about tennis, beer and ice cream.

I will be pleased when the fit and proper test is decided one way or the other. I'm hoping Xia has just got these sharks in to help the deal get over the line and it isn't anything more sinister. It does smell a little fishy, but I hope it's just the heat.

Nailed on.

Sorry, that's where penalties are concerned.

Can you please define very worried? Is it like "I just hit bone from chewing through my nails and fingers". Is it "I think I just saw a ghost" level worried? Is it "I think I might have pooped in my pants level worried? Or is it simply "I found myself rocking uncontrollably in the corner of my bedroom" level worried? Just wondering.

I will only be happy when I see a picture of Dr X naked in an Olympic swimming pool full of cash. Not for confirmation of his riches, it's just that I'm strange like that.

'Xia has been engaged day and night to prove he has the necessary funds to support his business plan and league officials have seen evidence of over Ł500m in his English-based bank accounts.'

I imagine now several candles being burnt, wax all over the floor. Chocolate wrappers, pizza boxes, the sugary powder from doughnuts all over his desk and paperwork. The calculator missing buttons he has hammered them so much in an effort to provide irrefragable evidence of his wealth.

I think its taking so long because they're making him count all his money in front of them.

All Xia's money is in Vietnamese currency. They said "Show us your dong". These communication difficulties can be awkward.
