sign a few players of quality that will show us if he's  going to be a good owner simple

I'm not disagreeing with that - clearly that's hpw he wikl show his intent.

I was disagreeing with the idea his gesture of buying everyone a drink was in some way an attempt to prove his wealth.

It's about something though Jacko, last Thursday, approval from the FA & Financing authority was expected to be nodded through, almost a week later, & it's not ratified yet. Somethings holding it up.

Yeah it's about a bloke suddenly realising how much his shares are worth and money grabbing his statement does not speak for all shareholders and contradicts his comment a couple of weeks ago it can't and won't stop it

They never get nodded through, there will be so much paperwork to look through and you are working on their time not ours they are under no pressure to rush anything through. Di you seriously expect it to go through within a week?

[Laurie Cunningham]

Ha ha, are you serious? He has just purchased the club without taking any loans against the club. How does him buying everyone a drink prove his wealth more than  that does?

Sombody somwhere owes someone 150 million

Not disagreeing, but it could impact on WBA

Well we will see but the security of the UK is of paramount importance to me.If they are so "Honorable"They would have no objections in our security investigating the issue.
China is a country with its own issues paramount.
The treatment of it's close neighbours leads me to believe.....watch your back.

Wasn't it said that the deal was agreed towards the end of June, but couldn't be announced until last week because it had to all be ratified in China? Why couldn't the same thing have happened over here during the period between the end of June and last week?

Because until it was ratified in China there was no one for the FA to investigate.

Surely Guochuan doesnt want to see his investment halved by getting relegated

just heard that a load of footballers have been caught by revenue in a tax fiddle with celebrities as well. They were investing in making Hollywood films .

[TheJacko2000]

An unverified Twitter account has popped up, I'm not convinced... Yet.

If it is a catfish then it's very restrained and well laid out.

[wba13]

Sorry the jacko 2000 but what are you on about I know nothing about twitter or facebook never been on them

Good chance of being real as the first post was back in February saying coming soon. Who would have known back then he would be our new owner?

There is a Twitter account in our new chairman's name, it is as yet unverified whether it is him, but normally fake accounts aren't as well put together, or as restrained in their postings as this one.

Pretty sure the local journalists were asked the other day about one on Twitter and the club told them it was fake.

Yes but you can change a Twitter name easily. Could have been set up in February under the name John Smith then changed the day he bought us. That would be backed up by no interaction between the first post and the day he became active. Surely a Chinese businessman wouldn't set up a Twitter account in February, purely to talk about football in August. Why no other tweets about Chinese business?

Lai has no obligation to make them an offer nor did Peace have to consult them when selling his 88%. They're a bunch of self important twats who would sooner see us relegated than move with the times, all for the sake of being able to call themselves shareholders.

It's alright when it's someone elses money they're spending but when it's their own their sending letters to the Premier League, cryarses.

So basically what UP has done then.'

[BAGGIE5]

Pulis quotes about JP suggests he was just ready to sell to highest bidder regardless of what money they would put in. Sounds very much like status quo.

I listened to a thread via vipbox today.

Early in the game the commentator was talking with Tony Gayle and swore blind that word on the street is the takeover will not be completed until October  .

Gotta be b@ll@cks surely!

I heard them say something about October but missed the first part of what they were saying

[tommcneill]

They said that the takeovers due procedure won't be ratified until October...

Don't think he knows what he is talking about if I'm honest
