Tony's Tweets

[Percy McCarthy]

Xia can't afford to lose anywhere near as much as Lerner did.

What is Xia worth then Dave, and from where did you find out?

If he's got less than Randy had after his BoA shares lost 75% of their value in the 2008 crash we could be in trouble.

I bet he doesn't even know Nicola Keye's direct number.

Randy Lerner is like a man who buys a sound house and for one reason or another let's it fall into ruin.  He has to sell it for what he can get for it.  Tony Xia is like a man who buys a ruinous house at a cheap price and commences to cure the running sand under the foundations and the dry rot in the roof.  The work costs effort and money but it turns the house into an asset of increasing value.

The only way Tony Xia can lose as much money as Randy Lerner is to behave in as naive and lackadaisical manner as Lerner.  Effectively to continue to let it go to rack and ruin.  He clearly is not doing that.

He paid more for the ruin than Lerner did for a going Premier League concern.

Isn't Xia's personal worth immaterial?  According to the official site we were taken over by RECON.

I am suspicious of him as I am of everyone who buys a football club - it comes with the territory, really - however, we have to give him a chance and so far, bar some ill advised twitter stuff, he's done nothing to concern me.

The true test of a new owner is not the start of the season when they're buying players and everyone is happy, it is when things start to go badly. That's when we really find out about them.

Not if you count his ongoing subsidy to the club. That was £200m+ wasn't it?

That would be unfair as you can't count Tony's ongoing subsidy yet.

Difficult to compare 10 years with 10 minutes.

 Most English clubs that have been fed by the TV gravy train would have seen their values rocket between Lerner and Xia buying us. He's got us at a decent price given the potential upswing.

Was this revealed at the recent fan consultation?
