Their stories come from the same places as people who post links to stories on here, that one comes from Sunday People. Plenty of guessing, speculation the lot at the moment, may be something in it, may not be. Truth will out in good time.

So far, I believe there's 3 reporters who have individually reported it:
- The Mirror
- The Sunday People
- A local journo (who mostly writes for Blues)

It's still too little for me to believe, but if a few more newspapers/journalists start reporting it without referencing any of the above, then it will look very realistic.

Surely if one of the richest people in the world was being linked with somethng he was not, he would ensure the rumours are corrected and removed

So all we know is that it's a Chinese person and that they are rich?
So people putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5?

Who else in China is on the rich list, who could be interested in buying a football team?


Does add up though that it's wang, as he wants to buy a football team, interested in a premiership team, is mega rich, is Chinese and shown interest in past in other teams in prem. also remounted to have been turned away or lost interest in villa.... Next team near them is us

So if it is Wang who of you not got a season ticket will go out and buy one before you are put on a waiting list

Now wouldn't that be something a waiting list for season tickets. Hope they look after the ones who bought them in the dark times.

Neil Moxley leaked Wang's name

Neil Moxley has very good links to the club and is usually pretty near the mark with his stories

I wish it was July 31st and everything was signed sealed and delivered, cause I just think something may come along and cock everything up.

If everything is signed sealed and delivered, I will get down on one knee ( ) and ask the missus to marry me.

Don't believe it, just like transfer rumours, until on the official website

Where did he leak the name ?  Not doubting you. Just not seen it

[BAGGIE5]

Apparently they've removed it from the article now.

So now the club have announced that they have granted exclusivity what does it actually mean?

The papers seem to think a sale will go through before the end of the month but reading the official website statement again all it says is the "process should be completed before the end of the month", so the way I'm reading it nothing is set in stone and it means the preferred bidder either may or may not follow through with the acquisition?

I tried to make some sense of this with regards to exclusivity but couldn't get my head around it.

We have a lot of genuine fans, but can you imagine, the seals and dog heads following us?
Not many neighbours would become turncoats.

My understanding is that Peace and the preferred buyer now have a six week period to negotiate a price for the sale of the club. Effectively, Peace is happy he has found the right man, and the preferred buyer is keen to purchase the club.

The 6 weeks barrier allows them to negotiate a price without any interference. That means nobody else can look at the clubs books or carry out any due diligence until the end of that six week period - at which point the clubs ownership should really have changed hands.

Would you know what the £2  million break cause JP has in the contract means.

I guess the stadium will be developed pretty sharpish if these folks come in? Anyone think we could move? Plenty of land available in West Brom.

I don't think I'll cope if we actually become title contenders? What will the London press think? They'll hate it.
