Tell you what, I'm not getting my hopes up over an investor with slightly more money than me (ok a lot more), but this whole takeover stuff is a lot of fun. There are new posts everytime I load the forum.

FWIW I think Trotters is asleep downunder. Wait until he wakes up to this. Apeshit incoming.

[Cha Ching]

Rather he said get us back to the PL, but oh well....

[The Utterer]

Goodness me can we at least see who exactly is involved and get some TRUE inkling as to what they're worth before we start slitting our wrists

I'm ecstatic! Lets put some trust in Hollis making sure the deal was good for the future of the club. I do believe Randy would have wanted that too for what it's worth.

So, We have:
New owner = Rui Kang GROUP (Group means more than one)
New Chairman = Dr Tony Xia
New Manager = RDM
Plus Comolli replaces Paddy Reilly

Well that's all exciting enough.. all we need now is clarification on the wealth behind the group which is currently unknown.

Aston Villa Football Club is pleased to announce that an agreement has been signed today for the sale of 100% ownership by Randy Lerner to Recon Group owned by Dr Tony Jiantong Xia subject to the approval of the Premier League and the Football League. Once those approvals have been granted and the new board members approved under the fit & proper rules of both leagues, Dr Xia will become Chairman of Aston Villa. The Club will announce the appointment of a new manager shortly.

Randy Lerner has sought the right new owner for Aston Villa who would take great care of the Club and restore its fortunes. He believes that Tony Xia is an excellent choice.

Recon Group is Dr Xia's privately owned holding company that owns the controlling interest in five publicly listed companies on the Hong Kong and Chinese stock exchanges and many other private companies employing 35,000 people in 75 countries.

Dr Xia played football as a striker until he finished at college and football has remained his passion. Dr Xia decided to buy an iconic football Club in England as the cornerstone of his Sports, Leisure and Tourism Division. He became a fan of Aston Villa many years ago and is delighted at the opportunity to become the new owner.

Dr Xia's immediate objective is to return Aston Villa to the Premier League and then to have the Club finish in the top six, bringing European football back to Villa Park. He plans to make Aston Villa the most famous football Club in China with a huge fan base.

Wants to make us the most popular club in China

Carson Young said that about those down the road.. Nvm though Lerners gone and I have my reservations of how much backing the new owners will be able to give, but it's still good news at the moment, get the management and board sorted quickly and start showing purpose towards a real push at a return to Premiership and I'm sure my doubts will be eased
