The Takeover Thread - Recon Group - NOW WITH NEW POLL

[pauliewalnuts]

So, according to that horse shit in the Mirror, Randy has looked at all the bids, considered one from the fifth richest man in the world, a fellow American, and thought, no, that's not the one, I reckon the best owner for the club will be some tinpot Chinese pharmaceutical company who smell a bit of Carson Yeung?

I appreciate that Randy has proved himself, over the last ten years, to have the business instincts of a dead stoat, but really, is he stupid enough to make the above decision?

Looking forward, the Group is facing challenges, including (i) the high pressure of increasing labour costs, rental expenses and raw materials costs in health related and pharmaceutical products industry in the PRC and Hong Kong and the medical laboratory testing services and health check services in Hong Kong; (ii) the weak consumption sentiments in health related and pharmaceutical products in the PRC and Hong Kong; (iii) the intensifying competition in the healthcare related products industry and medical laboratory testing services and health check services in Hong Kong with ongoing discounts and promotion programs, which will have ongoing impact on profitability.

Given there are adverse effect of global economic growth downturn and keen competition in the market, the Group will continue to strengthen the health related and pharmaceutical products business through (i) upgrading and redesigning the websites of the operating subsidiaries of the Group in order to enhance the online sales of health related products; (ii) introducing new health related products and changing package design of the existing healthcare products in order to enlarge the products lists and attract different market segments of customers; (iii) leveraging on solid foundation and competitive strengths of the DVF Group in the provision of medical laboratory testing services and health check services to enhance the revenue sources and profitability; and (iv) developing and expanding distribution networks of the existing products and manufacturing new health related and pharmaceutical products through the factory held by 貴陽舒美達製藥廠 有限公司 (in English, for identification purpose only, Guiyang Shu Mei Da Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd)

That's replacing 'Prepared' on our new badge.

I wonder if this is one of those carpe diem moments?
If we build it, they will come.

Or in the case of the North Stand; if they build it...

With an hippo off his tits on meds.

They made a 63m HKD loss according to their 2015 report.  That's about £6m loss.

Yup, they sound absolutely ideal in continuing the good work Randy has begun in turning us into Leeds.

[kippaxvilla2]

Well they're right at home with our £27m loss.  Consolidated opening position of 'new owners' £33m loss with around 96 years of existing player contracts to scrutinise.

So nobody's impressed that we'll be owned by the People's Republic of China then? Or is that just not true?
