Wang Jianlin mentioned as potential owner on the comments on the Brum Mail link.

Googled him! Think that would give us the wealthiest owner in world football!

Very exciting stuff! Let's hope it's true although I would question where it was originally mentioned.

Does the fact he has 20% of atletico not rule him out?

The Watford owners own them, Granada in Spain and Udinese in Italy so it doesn't matter.

But he isn't a majority share holder. Isnt the rule you can't be a majority share holder at more then One club? I'm sure you can own shares in more then one club as long as it isn't majority.

I just hope whoever does take us over (if anyone), then they are good owners. Hopefully it's more like Leicesters owners and less Venky's for instance.

I remember something when Chelsea played CSKA about it being 10%. I think that was a champions league rule though. He can sell a bit of AM when he gets us there!

I think you are correct, ie, Ashley has majority of shares in Newc and this precludes him buying too many in Rangers

And through Occam's Razor, he won't be buying us.

So there is nothing concrete regarding Wang Jianlin?

I won't get excited just yet.

From what I gather, the whole 'Wang Jialin' thing is purely from a speculative comment made on an E&S article earlier, the comment was something like "I heard it's Wang Jialin, one of the richest men on earth".

As far as transfer speculation goes, that has to be the most tenuous, made-up link ever, and even if it was Jialin, I am certain that the guy who made the comment was clueless.

JP keeps EVERYTHING close to his chest. You rarely hear rumours about key issues emerging from The Hawthorns unless they've been sanctioned by JP, so don't expect any clues about the likely new owners until JP says so.

If its not the richest man in China after all this speculation, I will be fuming! ;D

It'll be a China crisis! :-*

As much as the official line is that this wont affect transfers it will, dependent on who owns the club come 1st July we would be shopping in very different pools, why sign several free or low value players when we might have a large transfer budget to use.

Would gignac depend on the owner do you think?

Doesn't a takeover take around 6 weeks to be ratified as well by the FA until they can take part in their ownership duties?

I honestly don't think the budget changes much this window regardless of the ownership and in a way I hope it doesn't. The worst owners come in all guns blazing in their eagerness to play with their new toy and generally burn a huge amount of cash before the realisation dawns that it is n't a game of fantasy manager.

If the new owners have a willingness to invest I would rather they do it gradually over the long term and mainly in the club's infrastructure rather than some eye catching additions to the first team squad.

My point is that if it is clear we will be sold after 2-3 weeks we wont be bringing in any Baird types. The window does not shut until September as well.

No the quality likes of him would go ahead no matter what as he would fit in nearly all teams.
