Quote from: kipeye on October 15, 2020, 07:09:31 PMI always thought the main issue was the Chinese Government changing its rules for taking money out which scuppered him transferring funds. I really don't know if he had any to transfer, who can say?The only issue with that is it hasn't appeared to have scuppered Fosun FC down the road and the other Chinese-owned clubs in Spain and Italy. He bet the farm (or more to the point the TV money) on getting up in two years. When that didn't work, the shitty-shoed berk had nowhere to turn. It's totally appropriate that Randolph was hoodwinked by a chancer of that nature.

Has anyone on here ever had second thoughts about selling anything to anyone because of what they thought the buyer might do with it?
Quote from: Lastfootstamper on October 19, 2020, 12:47:26 PMHas anyone on here ever had second thoughts about selling anything to anyone because of what they thought the buyer might do with it?Some club owners have exercised a duty of care and made sure where possible they have sold to decent new owners. Whether or not they would have sold to potentially dodgy owners if those were the only offers they received we will never know. The porn mob aren't stupid. They wanted the West Ham/Olympic stadium deal and just wanted shot of Small Heath. The knew full well Carson was dodgy but took the money and hung Small Heath out to dry.

I regretted selling my first bass guitar to a wannabe metal head. In a moment of Spinal Tap-esque after gig bravado, he tried to set it alight but only succeeded in singeing his hair, got threatened by the landlord, so snapped the guitar's neck instead.Would have happily offered Lerner free counsel on the importance of a sellers due diligence on the buyer.
Anyway, enough of the chancers.These pair must be delighted with the return on their investments so far.
