Tony’s Statement.

[Risso]

I don't think Dr. Xia has put much money in at all. Transfers have been funded mainly by Parachute payments. Now that is diminishing so is the owners interest. I just don't think he has the funds required. Hiding behind FFP. Time to sell up. He screwed it up with the appointment of RDM and wasted millions on mainly average players - Kodjia excepted.

His company put £49m in according to the last accounts.

From memory, that was a loan though, and was due back within a year.  Of course, he may have rolled it over.

Interesting read.

I proper fancy him.

He's a very sensitive lover, I am told.

Very gentle for a man with such large hands.

Why are they using a picture of Ashley Young. Is he buying us?

Removed the link

[VinnieChase84]

Maybe Simon Jordan is part of it

[Rudy Can't Fail]

If I was Xia and could get my money back tomorrow, I'd dump it.

[ozzjim]

Me too. The fact Xia has not rubbished any of the looking to sell stories on Twitter yet makes me think there is some truth in there too. His normal denial speed is a few hours, this has been a few days now.

Good grief.

[kippaxvilla2]

Ah well.  League 1 beckons.  A bunch of nobodies takes us over recoups their money immediately by selling everything that moves.  Goodbye millionaires row.  Welcome to the Budleigh Salterton Retirement Home for the terminally short of cash.

It took Lerner forever to find a buyer, and that's when we were still PL. Even if the interest is real I can't see them succeeding, particularly when we have additional debt to absorb.
