Sounds like nonsense tbh. Everton did very well under Moyes on a small budget (4th place finish thrown in there) and have just had a majority stake bought out by a billionaire. Doesn't sound like they're recovering from anything but a poor season under Martinez. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chinese business mogul bought the relegated Villans from unpopular American billionaire Randy Lerner on Thursday for £60million. And his aim is for the club — who he is claimed to have supported for “many years” — is to gain promotion back to the Premier League and become a top-six team. He is the CEO of Recon Group — a privately owned company responsible for 35,000 people in 75 countries. Business has boomed over the last two decades as the corporation has “taken advantage of China’s economic growth”. The firm deals in urbanisation development and holds about 40 per cent of China’s Digital City business sector. In other words, Villa fans can expect their new owner to be active in the transfer market. Lerner described his successor as a “hugely successful businessman” who “is passionate about architecture, site design and planning”. After spending six years studying at Harvard, including a five-month exchange with Oxford University, Xia jetted back home to China to develop Recon Group. And as a massive football fan, having played as a striker during his education, he decided to buy a Prem club to act as the cornerstone of his Sports, Leisure and Tourism Division — one of six sectors his company is made up of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Press enter to return or tab to continue. Football in China: Will China become a 'world football superpower'? China wants to be a "world football superpower" by 2050 and aims to develop a national team capable of winning the World Cup. President Xi Jinping, a football enthusiast, wants the country to have at least 20,000 football training centres and 70,000 pitches in place by 2020. And former England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson, now coaching Chinese Super League team Shanghai SIPG, believes China can be world champions within 20 years. But who are the people shaping the president's vision? And how are they setting about making a bold declaration become a reality? BBC sports news correspondent Richard Conway travelled to the country to find out.
