    They made a game of that? Press x to mutiny, sort of thing?

    Would rather not have Chinese backers

    They've been a bit hit n miss when they've purchased English clubs
    What's the sample size?
    Currently...
     
    Aston Villa
    Southampton
    Wolves

    Barnsley
    Birmingham
    Reading
    WBA

    So the experiences have been a bit sweet and sour?
    They don’t always get it wong

    tbf China is going to grow massively in the football world. Might not be the worst thing in the world

    When should one click on LOL? Is it literally a loud laugh even if only for a millisecond? I just gave Beardface a LOL but only for a bit of air coming out of my nostrils. Does that count?

    My money's on the Roland and Lee partnership continuing rather like the successful pop duo Peters and Lee from the 1970s.

    Their most famous hit was Welcome Home and  like the Charlton duo, one was talented, popular and fair-haired and the other was blind and couldn't play the piano very well.
    Remember them being top billing when I was working at a holiday camp. My lips are sealed.

    No, you have to LAUGH OUT LOUD.

    Take the LOL back from @Beardface.

    Maybe we should get someone to start a survey on the subject. Any volunteers?

    I don't think we can rely on them to organise the LOL survey.
  • Tony Xia at Aston Villa seemed great at first but didnt he need the Egyptian bloke to come help them out financially?
    Sounds like a pyramid scheme

    Nothing further to report at this stage. The process will have to be conducted thoroughly and that'll take at least another month. Still being told it's more likely to fall through than go through (good news for Cardiff), but I'm not so convinced. Guess we'll know by August?
    That's from the Journo Paul Abbandonato who reports from Walesonline.

    So ...... Dalman's offer is serious, then. Aussies RD doesn't want to deal with.

    Any identity as to the other offer, Supaclive?


    Ackworth.

    One extra thing that worried me about Roland's statement was that buyers were concerned at our losses and this was making a deal difficult to close. If that's true, that is very worrisome to me. Losing money, as much as allowed by FFP, is part at parcel of being in The Championship and promotion without significant losses is almost impossible. If the new owners are really that concerned with cutting losses, instead of increasing turnover and making the team better, we may be trading one bad owner... for another. The only thing keeping me from being even more worried about this is that Roland's statements have historically been full of shit.

    Yeah he sold his majority stake to the Egyptian guy and some American billionaire who also owns an NBA team

    Roland's been using that as an explanation for cost cutting for months, wouldn't read that into it

    If you could tell me Roland is gone in one month, I would take it in a heartbeat.

    But yer man from Cardiff will be perfectly aware of all that, can’t see that putting him off if he really wants to own his own club.
