So WBA are getting new owners worth 13 billion from China.

What are we playing at ?

[HarryAVFC]

Apparently it is the same person who was either going to choose us or them. He's chose them which is worrying

LOL where's the link mr negative?

Sounds like you've been reading the baggies forum too much...in the midst of talking about US of course (the obsession never ceases) those clowns actually think Wanda group is gonna invest on their tinpot club?

They might get taken over just like we might..but id be astonished if anyone with serious money found them a better investment than us...just by the infrastructure alone they are a million miles behind. And the same thing with the two clubs stature in the game too.

AVFC tramstweet has said Chinese media are reporting it

No comparison between us and WBA - If the Wanda deal goes through for WBA - I would lay the blame at Lerners door - lets face it he is pretty hopeless at negotiations.

The story foe the WBA deal has its sources in China - local journos here have dismissed it - be a pretty big kick in the balls for us if true...

[HarryAVFC]

A Chinese reporter has said he's putting an article up at 1pm to see what it says

Would be devastating if it's true. He says Josh Harris pulled out of a deal to buy them. Wasn't he linked with us last year ?

I would label this as a crock of Twitter Bullshit! (pardon my French) It's good for a laugh and nothing else.

Charton
Crystal P

Josh Harris made his fortune as an asset stripper. I wouldn't feel comfortable with him anywhere near Aston Villa.

the twitter account this come from was only created on Jun 4 - so not a robust source......seems to be fishing for followers as well

Just checked on twitter and not a single Chinese journo has said a thing. It appears to be West Brom fans speculating and Villa fans fretting. "Avfc Transfer tweet" has a habit of sensationalising stories...so i wouldn't worry just yet. Furthermore Wanda already owns 40% of Athletico Madrid...so one has to question if we'd want someone who has his fingers in other pies?

Having someone that is mega rich as your owner doesn't automatically mean you're gonna be a success either. Lakshmi Mittal owns 20% of QPR and is worth as much if not more than Wanda and how much has he spent? nothing. Another example is Deportivo La Coruna's owner Amancio Ortega!!..he's up their with City's owners and yet have Depor challenged for the La Liga title? not even close.

I don't believe it will happen but if they got Wanda and we got Cain Hoy i wouldn't be complaining tbh!!..Cain Hoy have serious clout behind them by all accounts.

West Brom journo from the star described it as, and I quote, "nonsense"

I have exclusive news regarding West Bromwich of England. I cannot reveal sources but I have created Twitter to share news. #eplchina #wba

That was his first tweet on 4th June 2015!

Non-news. Doesn't change the Vimbo.

Josh Harris has had more pull outs than Ron Jeremy.

That TransTweet seems like a perfectly nice bloke but I don't think he's ever got anything right, and I mean that quite literally.

TransTweet RT's everything, it harvests followers, he's a decent lad, but knows little and defo chases followers imo (also he doesn't automatically think it's true if he's RT'd it, as I said he tends to RT any villa related story) It's a non story.

[South London Villan]

Any WBA announcements? I thought there was an announcement expected at 1 pm.
