You're probably right, Xia's just going to give him a big wad of cash at the end of it, and it'll disappear into some Swiss bank account never to be seen again That's up to Samuelson. If I was him I'd spend it on something nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Wyness has been given 'the benefit of the doubt' as, from the look of him, it may be a while before he is declared 'fit'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a report button for things like this. There's been an official club statement about Wyness, but not about Samuelson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find this very strange, he saying there are 8 teams in the Indian league? How is this going to benefit us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I think it's the millions of people watching those teams that we will benefit us, especially if we can have one of them adopt the Villa name, or start a new club under the Villa monica. And as Samuelson says in the interview the league is going to extend to ten clubs and I presume there's scope for it to expand further too.

useless Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 He's Head of Global Developments at Recon Sports, who's registered address is Villa park. In the video I posted he talks about either buying/part buying or setting up a new club in India and specifically mentions the Delhi Dynamos.

lp_villa830 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 He is the head of Recon Sports which we are a part of now I believe so their is some sort of connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 (edited) according to Companies House he is Commercial Director at Recon Sports He and Wyness were removed as Directors on 16th June and then reappointed as Directors on 20th July , it's probably just some paper shuffling rather than anything strange going on ?

GENTLEMAN Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Samuelson has left the club completely - not of his own choice apparently. Quote I was having a conversation with someone this week who told me Chris Samuelson has left Aston Villa. The former Reading director was due to be named on the board at Villa Park after Tony Xia’s takeover. He was originally named as a director on the club’s website - but his name then vanished, with reports instead claiming he had been appointed as head of Recon Sports LTD - the parent company with an office address registered to Villa Park. But from what I understand he has now left completely - and it wasn’t his choice. What a shame! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dn1982 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Anything written fro a Reading perspective is tainted. Samuelson left weeks ago. Most thought he was just a facilitator and that seems to have panned out correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 He was still working for Recon Sports, as shown in the video posted above. The article I posted just claims that he's now left Recon as well. Although it does seem a bit flimsy with it's information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
