Maybe his Chinese isn’t that good.Addickted said:
I think if I saw "people being shown round the training ground" that as Manager, I might want to introduce myself and find out who they are.Henry Irving said:From the OS interview with Robinson today
Takeover talks ongoing
“I’m not sure of on goings regarding the takeover. I’ve seen people be shown round the training ground and the facilities but I’m but unsure on names of consortiums. I know just as much as you do.
“There are still going to be many different obstacles to try and overcome and it’s concerning that the takeover talk is happening in the middle of January, as we need to bring in more players.
“I still don’t know if the takeover is going to happen in a week or five months, we’re in the dark over that.
“My job is to manage the team and everything above me will take care of itself.”
Not like KR to be shy at coming forward. Particularly as his job may be at risk.19 -

Interesting, Wikipedia suggests that he had an unpopular foray into Belgian football “As of late 2016 he has been working on a takeover of the Belgian second division football club OHL, short for Oud-Heverlee Leuven. [5] This attempt has been met with significant disapproval by the local community and the club's fans as well as local politicians, since the city of Leuven is the biggest stakeholder in the club and owner of the land on which the club's stadium is built.”flyingkiwiDK said:Obligatory wikipedia link
