Day Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Aston Villa's new owner Tony Xia hopes that the Midlands club will be as well known around the world as Real Madrid or Barcelona inside five years. The Chinese businessman, 39, outlined his ambitions at a Villa Park press conference on Wednesday. "I hope in five years, or after five years, we will talk of this club as Madrid or Barcelona," he told BBC WM. "Or someone else as well known and accepted by people in the world to say 'oh, that's the greatest club'". http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36539242 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerTedd Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I like the quote 'I'm 5 years, or after 5 years'. Hedging his bets a bit there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
