Aston Villa have cut ties with Tony Xia.
The Sun says he is no longer part of Aston Villa after failing to stump up a 30million bonus for the club's promotion.
The Chinese businessman's predecessor at the helm, the unpopular Randy Lerner, was owed the money as part of the deal when the club changed hands in 2016.
The club took responsibility for the 30m owed to Randy Lerner once Villa beat Derby in May's play-off final.
The fact Xia couldn't personally provide the funds has, according to reports, been behind his recent removal from the club.
