The Takeover Thread - Recon Group - NOW WITH NEW POLL

Xia Out! 2026. Was I first in?

I thought number 6 was Cook, Garry Cook the bloke who was at Man. City in the early days of their takeover as CEO?

He's a Blues fan isn't he?

And if we want them to spend shit loads of money, is the sporting arm being a loss maker a bad thing?

Not initially.  I suspect we will get an injection of Working Capital from the top of the group (I am speculating by the way), much in the same way that Randy did - load the balance sheet with loans - possibly soft loans with low interest rates and no specific repayment dates, then after a while it will be expected to become self sufficient - the only way it can do that is getting back up or continually selling better players at a profit.  Or, bring in alternative revenue streams.

We wanted Lerner out and rightly so. Let's just run with it. Can't get any worse

Why are there pictures of Vlaar and Weimann on there.  Are they coming back?

Laughing out loud to this - the first thing we look for in a multi million pound takeover, I love this sort of stuff.

Exciting times again. Feels like 2006 all over again. Here's to a happier ending

That Chinese site has had a link from the English site for a few years now.

Is that real? Who are all those other names bar Tony & Keith?!

Tony has got his Sven /Simon Cowell built up shoes on

I thought of Oddbod from Carry on Screaming when I saw them.

I'm like the witchfinder general, we have an owner who's name seems to be pronounced SHA and a nose on the committee.

It's good enough for me. Xia Out.
