Just a few things ive come across on twitter...
Exciting reports from China about the proposed takeover at West Bromwich Albion tonight we're syndicating to the nationals for tomorrow.
In brief, reports suggest the takeover by Wei Jianjun could be completed as soon as Friday next week. #
: Jianjun's representatives have been in London since Monday with a view to reaching the exclusivity arrangement announced today.
If reports from China being reported in the nationals tomorrow are correct, Jianjun is expected to aim to forge business relations for his automotive business in the UK and Europe as well as promoting the club in Asia should the takeover be successful.
It is being reported that WBA Holdings had been keen that Jianjun be specifically named in the statement today but complications meant ,The statement remained anonymous in terms of the preferred bidder status, which is what caused a delay of some hours this morning.It must be stressed Jianjun and Great Wall Automotive have not formally gone on the record but a statement could go before the HKSE on Mon. There are unconfirmed reports one of the unsuccessful bids was Jersey-based and fronted by a former #wba player. This remains unconfirmed.
