That sounds positive, we will be getting compensated for losing land we can't use after all!

I can imagine that Dr T will be proactive with the local planners. We couldn't have a better qualified man to get the best deal for AVFC.

I hope Dr T sees a top performance from Villa today. We need to keep him motivated. cheers

Dr T was a happy man last night. Long may his enthusiasm continue.

Steve Bruce comments on the Official site say it all about the future of Aston Villa. He describes DR T's plans for Villa on and off the field as mouth Watering. I have no worries about the longevity of DR T's interest as i strongly believe that he sees Villa as a long term investment and its success wont be judge on the bank balance of the club alone, he will look to make money on the Brand and the investment in building in Aston etc, that will only see a return in the long term.

"Dr t's plans are mouth watering' .... I like that, but it's contingent on us returning to the Premier League. That is a huge task to achieve after our poor start to the season. It's doable, but it's going to be tough.

Indeed whilst there is much to be excited by that excitement can only cautious for now. Of course, as recent results demonstrate we obviously have the right manager in place.

We'll lose roughly 10% of the training ground and suffer lots and lots of disruption as it is being built and also issues such as noise pollution etc during construction and afterwards. I wonder how much compensation we will stand to get, what it can be used for (ploughed into Xia's plans for re-development) and how severe an impact it will have on our facilities at BMH.

It seems as though my response about the loss of 10% of BMH was ill considered. This article suggests that we would need to totally relocate! Gulp!

That certainly puts a different complexion on things. I've seen BMH before and we have a sizeable parcel of land that won't be cheap or easy to replace.

It's a good job that we have Dr T as an owner. I would trust him to come up with an innovative solution to a problem that he has apparently solved many times previously in his working life. Space and relocation.

You'd assume he's known about this from day one through due diligence etc and consequently will already have contingencies in mind.

I'm sure he would have known of the planned HS2 implications, but the final decision on building it has still to be confirmed. With the financial implications of Brexit due to hit hard over the next decade, it seems like madness to invest over 50 billion pounds in a scheme to shave an hour off some train journeys. It should be cancelled if common sense prevails.

A nice little update on Dr T's current Villa related activities .... It get's a thumbs up from me. Dr. Tony Xia. - Page 21 4288271622
