If the "source" is the Small Heath Mail, I won't lose too much sleep.

Talk sport? Doesn't surprise me if true though as a lot if cash has been spent this year and a lot seems to have been wasted

Not sure about January but didn't the 'cash' last summer come from a loan from HSBC?

No point putting a link then changing it, buddy. As no one will be able to get on it.
Unless, of course, it's my tablet. Then I retract this statement 😊

Sorry, there's just not enough information to comment on this thread. The links don't work so just who has said what?

I think it's an automatic word filter on here.  Annoying.

Aston Villa have refuted claims that Dr Tony Xia is considering putting the club up for sale.

There were rumours in the national media today that Recon Group, fronted by Xia, are looking for investment in Villa - but the club has since moved to deny those claims.

Dr Tony Xia
Xia bought Villa from American tycoon Randy Lerner in June and has since ploughed almost £80million into the club to fund 17 signings in just two transfer windows.

Chief executive Keith Wyness, appointed by Chinese businessman Xia upon arrival at B6, labelled the rumours 'absolute rubbish'.

Regardless of whether it is correct or not, how does 'looking for investment' suddenly jump to 'putting the club up for sale'.
