Mr Guochuan Li is at the ground today, I thought he was not going to be in the country till next week for the Everton game? Wonder what is going on?

He's planting a lovely decorative border around the pitch

I saw him at the ground today. Happened to be there as was due to collect tickets for Palace.
He arrived in a Navy Blue Bentley Superfly Continental (nice car!) with his entourage.
Also present was Williams, Garlick and Jenkins.
On first impressions, I like the sound and look of Lai. No hot air like Dr. Tony Xia.
Hopefully we can conduct business and go under the radar.

If Pulis is staying then I hope we start business soon

I would say our biggest problem is not Tony Pulis, but if we pull out of a Chinese venture on Hinckley Point, apparently they're right p*ssed off.
If it was easy, it wouldn't be Albion

It is a security issue. I would rather get that sorted than not. If they were really friendly then they would understand.

Not disagreeing, but it could impact on WBA

Subject to what I posted earlier, my optimism is still there. It might not happen as quickly as some would like, but there is no doubt that the intention is a metamorphosis of WBAFC.

And you think this will impact on the Albion?

I imagine there are thousands of relations between us and the chinese, this has just become a highprofile balls up, nothing more.

His comment of 'I can't wait to see my first game against Everton' made me chuckle, he must be about the only one and 10 minutes in he'l have realised he's travelled thousands of miles to watch a paint drying exercise.
