Do we have to give assurances that we can funfill our fixture list this season?
I don’t think we have fun filled our fixtures in years

We are still massively in the shit, really hope this investor or sale can get sorted before the season starts.
The fact we’ve needed to set up a loan against the £1m Sanchez sale, scheduled for us to receive on July 6th and get the cash early mid June speaks volumes

Referred to in the link I embedded in an earlier post (yesterday). I'm guessing ti help fill the gap when the bills are due at the end of the week.

I just worry this is going to get worse before it gets better.

I worry that our plight seems to be mirroring political churning.  It cannot be coincidence that the Trump provoked trade war with China has resulted in the clamping down of Chinese capital movements.  We are as bad scalded as burnt as the old Birmingham saying goes.  We either have an owner who has no money or an owner who has money but cannot move it.

If we get out of this without liquidation, administration, relegation or points deduction I will consider it the dodging of at salvo of bullets.  Bit like the end of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

The Chinese capital controls go back a lot further than the Trump issue Brian.

Yes I realize Trump is blamed for just about everything negative in the world but I honestly think on this occasion he's not guilty.

I've read and seen many a report that says recently the cash restrictions on getting out of China has become easier not harder!?
To echo Walmley_Villa - i too fear this is going to get uglier before i can become better.

Surely a ‘so called billionaire’ needing to take a loan (for such a small amount in football terms) against a pending payment is akin to someone ‘normal’ looking down the the back of the settee for quid to buy a pint of milk.

These financial shenanigans really don’t look very good.

I’m re-reading the FT article on Xia from May 2016, questioning his, background, credentials, lies etc. The clues were all there in the article.
