值得驕傲的歷史，光明的未來

[Guest]

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.

He's worth more then 75m my friends

 Plus he operates a "holding company" which is another name for a a government backed shell company that spins money around to make the wealthy rich in China.

No it's not. Stop making things up. Holding companies are dead normal and the word has meaning to it.

Manager appointment will be key, no matter what money we have or haven't got available.

Haven't seen many comments on Lerners farewell paragraph:

"Tony's excitement to develop Villa Park shone through. I remain convinced that this is a crucial part of the Club's future as it provides a critical, long-term second source of revenue and therefore sustainability for the Club from which squad-funding can potentially come".

Initially I think the ground will be renamed, our whole image will presumably now revolve around the RECON brand, same way Emirates and Etihad are synonymous with Arsenal and Man City.
Renaming the ground could certainly bring in many millions each season.
But does Lerners comment regarding " long term second source of income" suggest Xia has bigger plans for Villa Park? How could it be used to generate a second income stream?

I'd like to thank you all for being less evolved over the last couple of years.

The boys and girls at VT need to club together and buy a dictionary. Then they can perhaps look up the definitions of, "RUMOURS, GOSSIP and HEARSAY". I'm sure it will be an enlightening moment for them all, bless 'em.

Happy about "slaughtering" fellow Villa fans over passing along any rumours? Well isn't he a pleasant shitwaffle

[DaveAV1]

Oh and thanks for keeping TBAR going Trotters. I'm sure there are times when it would be easier to walk away. Up The Villa!!!

[Guest]

Baffles me that anyone feel the need to put message boards up against each other.

Anyway, you reckon we could get some more news regarding a manager today?

Listen, you and me go halves in a deal whereby we make a book called the "Dantionary". Like a dictionary but full of Dan-isms.

This time next year, we'll be able to afford to take Gabby out for a meal.

Why would anyone want to leave this mad-house? :)

And there's not much for me to do as there aren't too many shitwaffles so it's my pleasure! :)

This is pretty much why I stopped using villa talk and started using this site. People share what they have heard and all,of the adults can make up their own mind if they believe it or not.

Your living in a fucking dreamworld if you think we could earn that much in the year. More chance of fisting the queen

The other forums are read only sites that discuss the basics and are in horror at any speculation, GOSSIP and hearsay.........

Tbar is a no holds barred villa forum, full of wise thinkers, friendly mods who let the odd faux par ride, fun posters with vivid imaginations, positive and negative die hards, dreamers and realists and of course joppe.

Almost every post on here generates discussion and interest, we think big and we are big and finally it looks like Aston Villa will now be able to keep up with US.

There's no "i" in "Team", but there's TWO in that ^^^

[DaveAV1]

The thing that strikes me so far, albeit it's very early days, is that Tony is a sharp sort of guy who has made money himself where as Randy was, well just Randy. The wealth issue, provided he has "enough", isn't necessarily the most important issue.

Looking forward to seeing a plane flying over the sty every one of their home games next season trailing a banner simply saying ££££££££££££

Scientists have recently confirmed that they have in fact found the i in team. The scientist in charge of the programme said it was found with the aid of a microscope between the a and the m. He was reported as saying "I found it all on my own, just me, none of the other fuckers that work here were involved...."

On the reconig.com website there's a link to one of their sub companies called xwho and on the xwho website there's a timeline detailing key aspects of Recon's history and according to that it was started in 1963. I don't know, I'm thinking we've been looking at the wrong website.

Actually looking again it seems Reconig.com is the correct site because I've found mention of the Lotus Health Group on there (albeit the surrounding text is in Chinese). But going by the details on xwho it does seem that Recon have been around since before Dr Xiu was even born

Nah, that's the website. These companies are all under the Recon banner. The big one is LHG... http://www.chinalotus.com.cn and I'm assuming they've acquired or merged with a number of these other companies.

One thing is for sure, if we thought Lerner was private, we ain't seen nothing yet. The Chinese will let be known exactly what they wish to let be known and nothing more. I think whilst things are good that's not a problem (and I think things will be good for a very long time) and we might also get lots of nice exciting things happen that do so without any prior warning. On the flip side if people think it's been tough now to ID who took us over, don't even bother trying to find out info they don't want us to have if things get weird in the future. Mind you, looks like we'll have the Chancellor as well as the PM supporting us now, as the way Osborne has been toadying up to the Chinese, Villa will be a wet dream for him.

Yes, I've just realised, although as I say in my edit, looks like Recon have been around for over fifty years, so I'm wondering how Dr Xia came to own them.
