MOMS #46: The Wizard of Xia - Aston Villa's Humbug? - a podcast by My Old Man Said

from 2018-06-21T19:15:36

:: ::

The play-off final is lost and Aston Villa FC go into financial meltdown. What happened to the big promises to Villa supporters of Dr Tony Xia? The Chinese chairman sacks the CEO Keith Wyness and tries to organise a rudderless club for a third season in the Championship via conference calls from Bejjing. My Old Man Said's David and Dan pick through the bones of Villa's fiscal woe and farce, while trying to have some laughs along the way in the face of adversity.


There's 'Twitter With Tony' where Villa's 'Yorkshire Tony' reads through his most recent tweets - from Wembley hope to financial despair. While the show's favourite negative robot Negatron declares some affirmative action now that the situation has reached 'Defcon One'.
