Be able to buy all my electrics on a match day if it is Alibaba

Just going from a post off twitter so could be bull for all I know as my grasp of Chinese isn't the best and no direct link to any site that I can tell. At the very least it will give us something to moan about if it turns out not to be true

That price equates to Â£188m

If Jeremy Peace somehow pulls this off then he's a genius as far as his own wealth is concerned

I'll expect the Bham evening mail, wide of the mark comment fairly soon then

Is that Ali baba & the 40 thieves or the Bongo bandits?

Does that mean we could save a few quid and buy the fake shirts for Â£12 instead of Â£50 on aliexpress! Haha

If this is true

Oh my days

If it is Jack Ma then he is the second richest person in China and one of the richest people in the world.

Not getting my hopes up at all.

Topman · « **Reply #2134 on:** July 02, 2016, 01:11:33 PM »

It seems far to good to be true. With Wolves being taken over you just know what's going to happen, nothing for us

Oh my, we could be the new Man City!

Sorry but I can't see that happening. All it takes these days is some loser on twitter with a rumour and a bit of photoshop and suddenly the club is being bought by billionaires.

Obviously I hope it's true but it's like Wanda all over again. Sadly it's more likely to be sold to someone like Villas 'Dr X' bloke.

It mentions Birmingham...Is he going to buy out Birmingham City?

baggie96 · « **Reply #2138 on:** July 02, 2016, 01:42:31 PM »

I've done a bit of google translate and it definitely says West Bromwich Albion a couple of times and also Jack ma and alibaba group so I think there could be something in it

No chance of anyone paying anywhere near that.

I suspect it's split between Â£x to buy the shares from Peace plus Â£y injected as new funds for new players

Very funny! I'm rehearsing that play with my Year 6 kids at the moment! Jokes are terrible! Back on topic- Jesus! This could be massive!

This deafening silence from JP in regards to take over is some what annoying but it looks like our lack of movement in transfer targets be them at the top or bottom of our ever shrinking list is really pishing me off.
This take over is definitely affecting our progress in this market no question, so Peace get your finger out and sell or do what your paid to do as chairman and sanction deals.

Lloydy · « **Reply #2143 on:** July 02, 2016, 05:50:15 PM »

Regardless of a pathetically takeover it should be business as usual. We could have sold Saido and matched Palace's Benteke bid by now.

Really worried that if a takeover doesn't happen we are going to be miles behind similar sized clubs who will have spent a fortune in a months time.

VANDERLEI · « **Reply #2144 on:** July 02, 2016, 05:56:42 PM »

We are going to be taken over but you won't know about it until it happens.

Topman · « **Reply #2145 on:** July 02, 2016, 05:59:58 PM »

I feel if we are not careful, takeover or not we could be relegated here. We need our first signing this coming week, otherwise I think this season could go pear shaped before it's even started. I feel peace wants to sell, not sure about these rumours, but it's clear he wants out now. I personally think peace, who is know mug, knows we need a cash injection just to help stand still. The ridiculous amounts of money going around means it's either time for him to sell up to someone who may have more backing than him, or put up in terms of he will have to push the boat out more than ever this summer and knowing his past that's something he won't be keen on.

Whilst I'm sure we'd be willing to do this there is no way on earth that Benteke would consider coming here and neither will any other decent player that other similar sized clubs will sign.

Sounds like Brexit on here, keep calm, window only opened on Friday.
Last years potential takeover didn't stop us from being one of the highest spenders, although I will concede that those brought in all haven't been a success.
If you've forgotten Spuds didn't help with their last minute bargainfest

He was relatively unknown then and perhaps used the move to get into the Prem. I'm sure I read that he said he wouldn't want to play for us anyhow due to our style of play.
