I dread to think who was advising Lerner at that time - probably Donald Trump !!Hollis? Mervyn King?The thing is, FOSUN were obviously floating around the West Midlands looking for a club, too, and I find it hard to believe they wouldn't have been looking at us too? The decision to go with Tony (a guy with no credible backstory and links to people like the discredited Samuelson) as opposed to all other potential suitors is baffling. I'd love to hear Mervyn King's take on it all.

From a very reliable 3rd party, who actually spoke to him about it, I have heard King’s take on Xia but there’s absolute no chance of getting away with posting it on here.
I would be interested to know just what questions are raised when looking to establish if a prospective buyer fulfils the "fit and proper person" criteria

I wonder if that was the start of the conversation though? Guess we'll never know.
Does anybody with even the vaguest of ITK links think we'll honestly get taken over this summer ?I'm praying so but i refuse to let myself get too excited
