    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.”

    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.

    Not like KR to be shy at coming forward. Particularly as his job may be at risk.

    Maybe his Chinese isn’t that good.

    Are you toying with us @Airman Brown or do you actually know more than you’re letting on?

    That happened to SCP, but that turned out to be his new squad of players from Belgium.

    Adams was Director of football at Granada and is apparently close friends with their Chinese owner Jiang Lizhang. Just saying...

    More of an open neck sweater but Tony wears it well.

    His contacts and experience in the game will be invaluable.

    Hopefully some more of this https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/605879/Arsenal-Tony-Adams-dad-dancing-Grenada-training-video
    Doesn't actually show the video.

    For the real effect it needs some banging music in the background

    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.”

    That's his 'don't be a pisshead like me' lecture isn't it?

    Coincidentally (??) isn't Leuven where RD (& KM) attended university?
