Aston Villa owner Dr Tony Xia is a keen user of the Chinese version of Twitter, Weibo where he will often post updates about the goings on at Villa Park including sales figures for shirts and season tickets over the past week or so.
He has now seemingly joined CEO Keith Wyness on Twitter under the name of @Dr_TonyXia.
The new owner has already made a big impression with fans who have access to Weibo with his constant openness about what’s happening. It is a stark contrast to the past under Randy Lerner who was often an invisible figure.
Of course, there are many fake accounts that do the rounds on Twitter. But this one is seemingly more official.
Although the verification of this account is still not clear but the official Aston Villa Twitter account follows the account so you have to assume that this is actually Dr Tony Xia.
We have contacted the club over how official this account is. We will update when we know more.
