Baggie79 do you think there is a chance JP will stick around if/when he sells? Or do you think he'll want to retire nicely on his wealth?

Will be quite hard as he needs to stay living abroad for 5 years if his move to Jersey is going to save him CGT on the sale

Heard a little rumour that Jenkins could be leaving as part of the takeover.

Quite a few said this the other week, will be one of the bonuses of a takeover if it happens.

Why do people dislike Jenkins? I've always thought he went about his business quite quietly.

[baggiejohn]

I'd agree, they have interacted with Albion fans twice. Neither time saying we're not interested. Once could be the twitter guy not knowing, but days later they do it again. Unless they are trolling the fans then why are they and i find a multi-billion pound company trolling football fans hard to believe. It's not like they need the advertising or PR?

It's a case of wait and see, but if it isn't Wanda, I will reflect on this period wondering what they were up to.

I'd never heard of them until this, think it's an excellent advertising ploy by them.

I don't dislike him, but I'm not sure what he does. The fact that JP has returned to a hands on role suggests that he's pretty well surplus to requirement, & most of the debacle of three years ago was aimed in his direction.

Even the missus said this morning "ay that takeover happened yet? it is worse than waiting for a story line to finish in Emmerdale".

[tommcneill]

Anyone else just a tad excited that we might be on the verge of finally hearing of this saga coming to a close??

Cannot wait for this to end and get the season started

I'll raise a glass to that!

[WBAinDEVON]

it sure is kept under wraps eh Mr Wanda

[tommcneill]

How we manage to keep our cards so close to our chest without so much of a hint of whats going on is amazing really in this day and age

Imagine how short this thread would be if we all knew weeks ago, its got us all talking, there has been rumour, suspense and more rumour

I like many others just want to know now....

Well if Baggie 38 is right it wont be long.

Well if Baggie 38 is right it wont be long.

This is how I'm getting by. I'm just constantly telling myself it will be business as usual and the plug will soon be pulled. I really don't know what to believe anymore. Itn people saying it's done etc.

Heard it could be evergrande group

[Jeremy Roland Peace]

Heard it could be evergrande group

Owner is 8th richest man in china worth 4.9billion.
Jack Ma owns a share of the company as well.

they also own Guangzhou who have spent some big money this summer on players like Jackson Martinez

[halifax_baggie]

I see a potential loophole to increase our revenue and still comply with FFP rules. I think it would be legal for WBA buy players at competitive prices play them for a couple of seaasons and then sell on to chinese football club (Guangzhou Evergrande FC) at much higher prices, giving huge profit to WBA to futher invest in world-class players. I would imagine there are also some tax and investment benefits to Evergrande group.

Over a period of 4 to 5 years we could be challenging for league titles and European Championship.

Excellent, I can't wait for the uneducated and unwashed to take a rise out of us, only to see them all in tears as our takeover rolls forward

Well there you go, Birmingham Mail for you.

I got the info off a guy in media so they knew about this before my comment. Also says a Far East source contacted them, doubt a Far East source comes onto westbrom.com very often

You got there first in terms of releasing the info, did you get it off a guy at the Mail? If not I'm surprised nobody else is reporting. Not sure who'd have approached the mail anyway. Why not a national paper?
