The Takeover Thread - Recon Group - NOW WITH NEW POLL

Even if they don't want to buy the club, maybe we could interest them him buying this ornamental Charles N'Zogbia.

[Mellin]

Ornamental Charles N'Zogbia gets a thumbs up from me.

just half watched a piece on the news about how the Chinese are massively expanding participation in football, so maybe this latest rumour might have some truth to it?

I saw another piece on Central News saying that a number of prominent Chinese business leaders will be visiting Birmingham in a few weeks to discuss development opportunities, particularly around the proposed HS2 site. 

At the risk of putting 2+2 together and getting 569, could there be a possible link?

Not really , they havent put  the train track down yet

I know carson young is from hong kong but thats irrelevant   ,, we have to be careful not to generalise and lump all chinese people into the same bracket as carson young. As stevie Wonder once said , there are good in bad in everyone , The point is carson young was a terrible chinese owner and still is , but if the Chinese people actually do buy the Villa off Randy they might be the best chinese people in the world , and good owners too

Carson Yeung at that other place, got them a CUP.

Also got them relegated, but got the fans into a Euro adventure...the last time they were in Europe was WW2.

Sorry, a really old joke...

Have I missed something?

I've spent 30 minutes skipping back and back through 10 pages of posts...all talking about Chinese investors.

Is this all about the Moxley "exclusive" ?

Cos the guy is a fanny, and should have been arrested when they had the 'Hacking Tribunal" ~ imo

Probably too small fry, when they were after the PM's best mate and Rebecca Wade.


If all this googling about Chinese 'investors' is a result of Moxley...has it occured to anyone,
that .....
NO BODY...NO CONSORTIUM have actually got "Due Diligence" from us.

It would be a simple matter for Hollis to say, one of his interested parties has due diligence...but NO....so presumably, with 3 in the line-up, NO.... BODY.. nor CONSORTIUM is actually at the due diligence  state.

What if one of those 3 was Paladino, the guy that tried to buy our neighbours and ran foul of the FL because he wouldn't name his backers (Italian). Claimed guns were pointed at him at a QPR board meeting ...    etc etc.

Not a rich man, but a well used frontman. He's been blown away from our neighbours, but lives locally...failed at Forest recently...so....what if Paladino is in the mix?

One of the alleged 3 ?

There are "Non-Disclosure-Agreements" in any serious and expensive take-over.

BUT...saying that ONE party is in due diligence, is no breach of Business Etiquette

That's not been said by Hollis.

So, presumably, no Parties are in DD.

So, can we forget Moxley, and can we expunge 10 pages of Chinese gags and Googles ?

 

Let's concentrate on the Spin, the "leaks" and evaluate them.

It's all we can do, because Hollis is treating us like mushrooms.
As the General often did.

you really need to lie down in a cool dark place for a while

[johnny from donny]

It's time it got sauteed out.

[OzVilla]

I don't lump all potential Chinese owners in as being like Carson. He's just another example of a bad owner while the Thai's at Leicester are good owners - it's just sweet and sour.

[chrisw1]

FFS, can we give the puns a rest?  There must be threads in off topic for that sort of shit.

[kippaxvilla2]

Nut su kow , nut su kow, nut su kow Chris speaks.

[chrisw1]

Isn't 6 pages enough?  Seriously?

[aev]

Isn't 6 pages enough?  Seriously?

It is wong.

[AV82EC]

6 pages is never enough.......

[markeeeebeeee2005]

Isn't 6 pages enough?  Seriously?

Is it doing your noodle in?
