    Maybe he knows what he's doing - if it can be done with Leicester then it can definitely be done with Villa. Totally unrealistic aspirations perhaps, but I'd rather have an owner who aims ridiculously high and falls short than be stuck with one who sets depressingly low targets and then fails to meet them.

    Dr Xia was sat alongside new manager Roberto Di Matteo, who revealed that he hopes his first signing will be Bournemouth defender Tommy Elphick.
    But only if Barcelona don't make a better offer for Elphick!

    At least he has come out and made some aspirational (maybe too aspirational) comments.

    Would rather that that the combination of fuck all and/or bollocks that our mob come out with.

    That exactly what I was thinking.
    Villa fans brought back to earth rather quickly.

    He says, "I hope in five years, or after five years, we will talk of this club as Madrid or Barcelona."


    It's only like me dreaming that Charlton will be back in the Premier League in 'five years, or after five years'.

    Just wishful thinking.
    You know, we all do it.

    If I was a Villa fan those comments would worry me. Obviously has no knowledge of football and even less touch with reality.

    At least he hasn't said "It doesn't matter what division you are in". He hasn't bought a sofa either, gets my vote.
