He did get £30m when we were promoted though, didn't he (Xia baled out by NotSafeForWork Ltd.)? Still...quite a haircut.

It goes a long way to explain why he suddenly stopped throwing money at Villa. Can't say I blame him, if memory serves BoA shares dropped 80% in value.
It's almost a year to the day since the Chinese Government issued an arrest warrant for shit shoe wearing Tony.

I remember reading about another investment company that he'd put money into, only for the two really unqualified individuals he's got to run it lose everything.
