Dr. X

http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/36522094

Tony Xia. Was this the bloke rumoured to be
interested in us? I remember Stoopo talking about
interest from China at one point.

Regardless, dear old Shaun approved him.
Now Villa should be serious contenders in the time
it took Dr. X's signature to dry.

"His takeover comprises a £52m purchase price
and a £24m overdraft. In addition, he will contribute
£60m in operating costs."

30mill transfer pot for di Matteo. Impressive.

No way we compete in those terms.

Rich - find me on Twitter @stoopo and I'll fill you in on what I know.

The guy I heard who is brokering the deal really wants to keep it close to his chest until it's all sorted. I have to respect that and won't put it out on an open forum.

Cellno has been and still is talking as far as I know.

.... But as I said months ago - he's skint and we are in the crap unless he sells up.

What I did hear was that the guy/people looking to buy wanted to put someone in place to run the club - who knew the club and its supporters - and to get a manager who was calable of getting the best out of what we have in the squad and invest in the academy - not just throw £millions at the problem.

I guess "sustainable growth" is what they mean.

GM and his team appear to fit part of that strategy. Let's just hope the rest of it comes off too.

"and to get a manager who was capable of getting the best out of what we have in the squad and invest in the academy - not just throw £millions at the problem"

That's not much better than what we have now, just another potless chancer

Have to agree gelderd.

Dr. X may well have been what we needed.
Stoopo/Stevie, hope you're guy(s) are his equal
and genuinely interested.

On manager/coach, I'm more than happy with Monk & team. I wouldn't change that, new owner or not.

This entity has assets in excess of £3 billion. Certainly not potless chancers. It's more about what they consider to be disposable assets that can be diverted to the club without impacting on core business.

Sounds similar Stevie. I'm told he/they are minted but will not just throw money at it (difficult under fpp anyway).

Building something good takes a little while.

Just heard that they are still waiting on MC. I guess he's still hoping to keep the club to finance his lifestyle
