Mr Xia - (Doctorship UN-CONFIRMED don't forget)
Has just been fined by the FA over his twittling. About a Ref being biased or summatt...
Since he re-tweeted a 'Birthday Congratulaton' to Jimmy Saville, I believed his Twits were being checked in-house, because of his ignorance of UK culture and so on.
But he then went onto his un-intelligible and abstract equations... but NO.... a few good results and he's back to his childish bravado.
One good way of keeping in touch with fans...is a bloody public interview now and again.
Or ONCE.
Basically, if you consider it's History, Mr Xia's twittles have all been about himself.
SELF-PROMOTING for fans,yes - imo - but most importantly directed to a
dying doctrine of Football/Soccer INVESTMENT from the Chinese mainland.
That approval is going ...exporting Capital to the Caymans/Luxembourg etc for football/soccer is now restricted. Xia shortfall ?
Coupled with a restriction on money exiting China, via football it now includes Hollywood investments.
Mr Xia is pretty well exposed financially. One Hollywood deal collapsing, Recon being harassed in HK. Mr Xia disappears on Twitter until Steve thrashes Barnsley and Burton.
Hmmmm
BOT
No...imo...not the job of an owner to Twittle to fans,
especially if no fan-saught info is given.Just Self-Praise is not 'info' for us.
Bin wary of him from the start. He's given us millions, or rather Recon have.
He's trying to sell us in HK it appears, though his PR says he's seeking "investment"..
- he doesn't Twittle about that does he ? Except to say he's seeking another kind of investment in Hollywood, after his last one was de-funded. And investment is needed for Villa.... in the long term.
Meanwhile...how are the Villa Acadamies in India and China getting on ?
No Twittles about them,anymore.... after he delivered the shirts for the kids, took Photo Ops with the kids... no investment, no Acadamy
He's a chancer, a conman - imo - who has run on a long leash for a long period.
I will apologise when he lays the Foundation Stone on the Villa Theme Park or brings in millions for the Re-Naming of "Lotus Park"...unless Lotus is going belly-up as well.
Lerner was a clown but always delegated football activity and saught advice from supposedly football savvy people
...MR Xia is also a clown, who condescends to fans, praises himself too often and delegated football activity to people NO OTHER CLUB would touch.
Savvy and Xia would be an oxymoron.
Rant over... just pissed that I knew what was coming at the Custard Bowl..... I blame Steve for his dinosuar and inflexible DNA...but I blame the real ignoramus and gambling man -- who it seems NEVER does wrong.
Let's hope his search for investments 'long term' in HK succeed. And they 'OUT Him' - pay him the money he's gambled on villa, sure..but get rid of him...and his stupid ego-fuelled Twitter account.
