The Takeover Thread - Recon Group - NOW WITH NEW POLL

I do hope we keep hold of Hollis after all this - definitely a man of his word and action.

I was thinking similar earlier. He's took a of uncalled for stick from impatient fans and in fairness, he's come in and done what he needed to do and tried his best to change it in the short term with Bernstein and King coming in albeit briefly.

How much is he worth?

We don't even know who he is never mind his worth...

No, a clean break with the lot of them.  Sir Brian aside.

Collymore said it was the "Rui Kang Group". Only Rui Kang group I can see is a tiny pharmaceutical company. Don't think it can be them - turnover <£3M in Q1 this year.

Well I'm not going to get too excited cos he could be like the chicken brothers at Blackburn or Carson Yeung at the blues for all i know.

But at least I know he's not Randy Fucking Lerner so that's something!

Then again, 10 years ago we were saying he's not Doug Ellis.

Just thinking - if he turns out to be a success - and he is Chinese - it will piss off the unwashed in Small Heath big time.

It's a bit scary considering how much is needed to actually sort us out. It does look a bit like the first bus at the moment.  Hmmm.

WE got lerner out, Randy lerner out, Now we know he understands, love it.

You've changed your tune from this morning.

Some people saying on other sites he is worth 28 billion. Not sure what currency we're talking about... still waiting on a link.

[dave shelley]

Doug reckons he's "very rich".

I'm struggling to find anything on the bloke prior to those Chinese news stories earlier in the day.

[cheltenhamlion]

What Chinese stories to save me scrolling for hours. Ta.

Doug sounded very well

Is The Sun a valid news source?
