Mr Robotwat blocked me and someone called DIck Turpin told me to go back to my x-box that i don't own. As Father Jack would have said, 'gobshites'.

Karma..

Was, isn't any more and was only there for a couple of months whilst things were setup and seems to have had very little day-to-day involvement other than Indian thing.

I think the lad done OK so far, and that's all we can judge him on...especially not on his broken English, slightly gnomic Tweets. Comparisons have been drawn with The General's presence on websites but he never engaged in the sorts of details we're getting now.

Yes it may well go paws-up if results go badly, but so far so good I think.

Work it out.  His company sells all the monosodium glutamate world wide. Every Chinese restaurant will have a big tub of it.  Suppose each tub costs $100 and there are a million Chinese restaurants in the world.  Suppose a tub of monosodium glutamate lasts a month, that is an income stream of $ 100 x 1,000,000 x 12 per annum.  Like I say, more than enough.

That gave me some comfort, Brian until today when I remembered they made a loss last year according to the FT.

I wouldn't get too concerned about them reporting a financial loss last year meaning they aren't swimming in a load of cash ready to throw in our direction.  I don't think we can ever be too sure of the finances, but their actions so far seem to suggest they aren't afraid to spend where needed.

True but even the turnover wasn't as big as I'd hoped and expected. As for the spent his summer, it's not as if we've spent much given our £60m+ pay off from the PL for last season. What we have done until now, is spend well and that I applaud.

All I know for sure is he had the money to buy the club. He has also provided the money to buy a bunch of players for very decent fees without selling many players. Unless he has paid those clubs in Monopoly money then he's sufficiently wealthy for where we are now.

I don't get why people are going out of their way to dig dirt on the bloke. People who have too much time on their hands and people who think they know best is my guess, or maybe both.

I like Andy Burnham, why the fucking fuck is he filling that massive cocktrumpet @ianrobo1. Just spent ten minutes reading through some of his tweets, of the few I can understand they are comedy gold.
