He shared his observations regarding what he has learned since entering English football, what he can do to improve Aston Villa and to help Chinese football.”

The attendees spoke freely under Chatham House rules, meaning the information exchanged in the room during the event would not be taken outside of the room.
The panel was followed by a networking opportunity in a relaxed environment.
