Wolves about to be bought by chinese billionaire Robin Li (4th richest man in China)

Jorge Mendes (Ronaldo's agent) is apparently brokering the deal.

Wants to get rid of Kenny Jackett and appoint an ex-Porto boss as manager and they're now apparently linked with a championship record 20m bid for a Benfica player who is managed by Mendes.

Why can't a chinese billionaire buy us?!!

    There is hope for Charlton if Duchatelet can be encouraged & persuaded to sell the club.

    Mr Li? We have a female one that can make up a pair at Molineux.

    Hang on... So we don't want Roland / Katrien because they dont understand Charlton etc.

    Do people seriously think a Chinese Billionaire is going to be any better

    Quick, somebody go on a Wolves forum and tell them that Roland has expressly warned against the Chinese :wink:

    Appropos of nothing - I still raise a smile when I read things like China having a 4th richest man.

    I am not against Duchatelet & Meire because they are Belgium but because they are fecking inept & useless.

    Leicester City ownership seems to understand Leicester pretty well. The Italians at Watford know how to run a football club. Foreign owners can easily run and support a successful and ambitious club.

    If he's weighing out 21m for Benfica wonder kids then yes.
    I prefer our wonderkids from Sporting, thanks.

    Haha yes, one can only speculate on what Mao would make of modern China.
    But I left him out of that group because, like Stalin, he had already subverted the Communist idyll to the cult of personality and an insular " anti- socialist" one nation corruption of it.

    Edit - sorry I have gone way oiff topic

    As Gary said, if the owner is going out and spending 20m on players then definitely yes.

    Mendes is also Mourinho's agent, so possibly there's a chance for them to get some Man U players in on loan too.

    If I had a net worth of US$9.6 billion, I wouldn't be buying Wolves...

    Unless he's made his fortune manufacturing custard. If so what a great marketing tool!

    another multi billionaire from what is essentially a slave state economy .. another example of money bypassing the 'fit and pwoper test' ..
    There should be government intervention, foreigners only allowed to buy British clubs and import managers and players provided they also make an equivalent investment in British industry and R & D

    Mmmm.....if this is true then it will be interesting to see how the financial fair play rule comes into effect as no way will Wolves be able to justify. Personally I think it is a load of crap.

    FFP was made pretty meaningless after QPR got let off with something like an 8m fine, instead of the 50-60m they should've been fined.

    We must be alot more of an appealing club to buy then wolves surely!?

    Roland probably rejected the football enthusiastic Chinese billionaire...... as he was about to hand over the business for 60million, a satisfactory amount way over what he could have ever hoped for, he all of a sudden had this daunting suspicion that they had this mad intention to move Charlton away from the valley.
    Huh (the Roland catchphrase) light bulb
    Roland knows how important it is that Charlton play at the valley....

    Wow, almost everyone here know who he is. He is the founder of the website Baidu which is the equivalent of Google in China. I don't like him though. I can't say the reason. Many people don't like his website.

    Interesting. Obviously for whatever reason - you can't say the reason, but you talking rumoured scandal?

    Wolves bought for 45m.

    Aside from now being in a higher division, i don't see any other reason how they're a more attractive purchase than we would be.

    Why couldn't they have bought us last summer?!

    If you were RD you'd be looking at that thinking i surely have to get us back up so i can sell and go.
