Didnt the new owners say there was some merit to part of Xia's fantasies ie the regeneration of the Aston environs as a "smart town" of sorts? Maybe they were just trying to say something - anything, good about him...
Would be some story if Dr Tony cured Covid. 🤢🤧 + 💉🇨🇳🧑🏽🔬 = 😃🌍🥳
I always thought the main issue was the Chinese Government changing its rules for taking money out which scuppered him transferring funds. I really don't know if he had any to transfer, who can say?

I’m sure some journo from the Mail on Sunday went out to see him in Beijing where he was apparently shown some bank draft copy for squillions. Can anyone find it?

Money must have changed hands with lerner, how did he do it?Was Steve Hollis's job to sell the club when he was appointed chairman in the car crash 15/16. Properly weird period, had David Bernstein and Adrian Bevington as emergency troubleshooters on the board but they resigned pretty quickly.Hollis is still around in Brum so that would be good interview to get his thoughts on Dr Fraud.
Welcome.Question number 1. Is there anyway a solution can be found that prevents us selling our best players?

Traditionally a US green card too, since China doesn’t allow dual nationality ie a second passport.
