Aston Vilhahaha

Well this could be fun.

Chris Samuelson is on the board of Director at Villa. We know all about him and his friends at Vibrac. Money laundering allegations connected to his main business is in offshore banking and the setting up of shell companies. (https://t.co/0vGUf8E0px) :lol:, the sham of an Everton takeover (with Wyness), as well as nearly destroying us then trying to get back into us through the American consortium. Then afterwards tried to get his grubby little mitts on Bristol Rovers.

We're talking about a guy who's main tactic seems to be : Finds a company to loan from > cannot pay back loan > unknown company then effectively controls the club > he then tries to get the company to sell to him again (all whilst delaying/putting off other investment leading to us having to sell our better players or go to admin).

If any Villa fans read this - if you ever see the name Vibrac, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibrac_Corporation/, involved with you in the Championship, fear for your club.

Searching on Xia is interesting - There are claims out there that he says he was a Harvard PhD and even "professor", and used that to obtain a lot of funding for his company. But actually he just obtained Master's degree there. His PhD career is on a "permanent leave". He also claimed to be hired into a world-class company as vice president early in his career, which is nonsense (he registered the company himself). Also he's known to cheat and lie a lot to everybody around him, e.g. constantly betraying his ex wife who "cut relation with parents, had 4 abortions, and worked illegally when still a student" to support his Master's career, promising great compensations for people he hired and never fulfilling them etc. Load of information is here if the page will translate Chinese for you http://www.xys.org/dajia/xiajt.html

Whilst somebody who bluffs a lot is not necessarily bad businessman, this guy seems to have some fundamental moral issues and god knows what he's going to do with Villa :lol: !

Also, http://finance.ifeng.com/a/20151019/14025162_0.shtml …. His Ruikang (or Recon) investment group has registered capital of Rmb 50 million (~5M quid). The article basically implies fraud in his network of companies, also fraud in his personal history.

Wouldn't shock me if Xia's role is to milk the subsidies from Chinese government, strip anything of valuable then watch the team slip down the table due to 'poor performances' on the pitch.

Nervous times for the Villa fans!

Villa fans seemed really happy, but now Twitter is awash with Reading fans telling them what a parasite Samuelson is and it's all going off! Good luck, Villa. You're going to need it.

It's certainly interesting to see them debate Chris Samuelson, using us as a case study.

Takeover close to collapsing apparently. What a shock!

Steve Clarke about to become no.2 there as well.

Robert Di Mateo as the manager though, could be a good choice. Certainly the sort of manager I would have liked to seen at Reading instead of Pantic or Stam.

It's a different league. All appointments carry an element of risk. Clarke supporting him seems to be a good balance on paper.
