It's Xia's Weibo account.

The day before he was posting about his meeting in LA.

Cool. I see no reason to doubt that. Feeling pretty optimistic again!

Me too. I keep having to remind myself we're no longer in the PL though. I just hope we get off to a blinder and actually win some bloody games.

To put together a run of three or four wins and a couple of draws would be wonderful.  Signals of intent.

I'm quite looking forward. To our season with the chumps. I'm sure I'm not alone.

Some tosser on SHA named appropriately Rags is supposed to be holding some dynamite information on Dr. Xia and is releasing it next week. I don't know what the feck it can be, given that the FA, the football league, Hollis and numerous others including the country's media haven't found anything.

Think it could be that Dr Xia once had his hair cut by Carson the Convict?



I reckon some nose who is on the long term sick and watching lots of daytime telly has boasted that he knows everything about 'Doctors' and the rest got carried away thinking he had something on our new owner.

The BBC now reporting that the takeover IS complete.

It seems that it is now officially official?
