Apparently the renamed Lotus Health Industry Holding Group Company, formerly HENAN LOTUS FLOWER GOURMET POWDER CO., LTD., is a China-based company primarily engaged in the production and distribution of monosodium glutamate and other flavoring products. The Company's principal products are monosodium glutamate under the brand named Lotus Flower. The Company also offers chicken essence, soy sauce, vinegar, sodium glutamate, glutamic acid, amylaceum, cube sugar, flour, gluten powder, starch, vegetarian products, as well as feed and fertilizer, among others. The Company distributes its products in domestic and overseas markets.

Doesn't sound that healthy does it. Perhaps we should discount what Tony says a little

Obscene MSG-wealthy Villa, I like the sound of that.

Fat brummy cunts.

It's always the same mate. Happened with Forest when they got their Kuwaiti takeover a few years back. Back in 2009 when they dicked us 3-0 in the FA Cup at our place, their fans were coming out with all manner of amusing ditties - "Owned by a terrorist", "You've got no his-to-ry", etc, yet as soon as their takeover went through the collective u-turn was laughable going off what I read on one of their main forums. One poster even started a topic asking if it would be possible for City to loan them some of our players simply because our owner comes from roughly the same area of the world as theirs!

I'm not in the least bit surprised that Villa fans are pretty much to a man lauding the Chinese takeover despite many of them previously having it in for us ruining football. Even some West Ham fans on their forum - a fanbase we get on well with - are precious about ever being owned by someone with pockets as deep as our owner but I bet if it ever happened they wouldn't be complaining then. Thing is, they're showing a lack of self awareness about relatively recent events at their own club because when that Icelandic bloke bought them in 2006 and brought Tevez and Mascherano to the club many of them thought that would be the forerunner to a huge spending spree on players and they were creaming their pants about it as opposed to complaining about them ruining football/selling their soul, etc..
 
Funniest is on their transfer thread. They want Barry back! Can't imagine he'd be all that keen after the way they treated him when he left.

The sheer fucking hypocrisy on the takeover thread is staggering. After all the shit they gave us they are even willing to change the name of Villa Park to Lotus Park for a few quid. Wankers.

The CoC prevents me from copying and pasting, but it's entitled "Aston Villa’s Chinese buyer does not ‘control 5 companies’" and states that Xia's company Recon owns a significant stake in just one rather than the 5 claimed by a press release. They claim they're finalising details for the others and there'll be details "soon". Recon's spokesman "claimed that the mistaken information contained in the press release had been the result of a 'miscommunication' with Aston Villa".

The one subsidiary is the only verifiable asset. Apparently, it recently "announced it had made a net loss in 2015 of Rmb508.5m ($77.6m) on revenues of Rmb1.7bn". Other revenues are unclear, as "the group does not appear to have ever published an audited financial statement".

And Villa's chairman claimed that Xia was "responsible for the Bird's Nest Stadium". A company spokesman has denied this.

Hmmm.
