I know he’s probably a busy chap, but you’d think he’d have picked the vile game to attend.

Expectations by this stage are lowered.  I see no evidence of significant inward investment to the club, and any cash we spend is likely to be generated from sales.  We have a little bit to spend, and we might loose players in the window- Dawson might be at risk.  However, on balance I think we will come out about even.

Without being cruel I don't think Lai has contributed much if anything as an owner overall to be honest. I don't see that we've changed much if at all from when Peace was in charge albeit that we lost Peace who was an experienced operator as we found out to our detriment with Willilams and Goodman's failures. Overall, I'd say we're worse off than under Peace for this reason............

I’m disappointed, I was hoping to read that he had sold the Club!

From Matt Wilson Twitter account:

 Chief executive Mark Jenkins plays down notion of January splurge for #wba - and confirms owner Guochuan Lai is not pumping more money into club
赖国传, 滚出我们的俱乐部

Seems pretty clear that Jenkins has been instructed to get as much money out the club this season as possible while not completely destroying the possibility of promotion.

The best thing for us would be for Lai to sell up if we get promoted, it seemed obvious at the time that he'd paid an artificially inflated price that wasn't likely to be benefit him.

Lai always struck me as someone who bought the club to ride out the remainder of the existing TV rights contract and when the new tv rights kicked in this season the clubs value would jump and he would sell on at a profit.

Sadly for us he persevered with Pulis when it was easy to cut ties. We got relegated and now he's looking at a a large loss and we are worse off as a club.

Yes, we definitely need him.

He can build the new Halford which we apparently could never fill, but funnily enough we sell out in a lower division.

But, more likely is he would accumulate the money saved from such infrastructure investment and just take another £27m when he flogs to the next numpty who has not got a clue.

I'd hate to think what he would have taken from the club he was not "one of our own".

It seems to me that Lai only wants to line his own pockets. Definitely nothing like what Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha bought  Leicester for.

If that is the case then he could be waiting a long time

At least Dick Turpin wore a mask..........

Yeah, he can ride in with his mask and stripey jumper, and take a top-six salary off a team who he labels 'mid-table championship'... again.

Wouldn't be nice for Lai to give DM just a small budget to really push us on and get into the top 2.

After all, it would benefit him in the long run  ::)

If only, my hope is that he may have a deal in place to sell the club if we win promotion, and so a modest injection of capital could see this materialize. Failure might mean we are stuck with him for far too long!

From a business view, surely if he's main aim now is to get what he paid into it and leave, then he NEEDS the club to be in the premier league to get the highest amount of money back.

But on the flip side, Lai will be thinking what if he does put in 20/25 million this month and we don't go up, then that's more money he has lost.

He seems to trust Jenkins, so I think if he was to say we needed a bit of money to see the job through, then Lai might just give a little.

Or just maybe preferred to be mid table to 8th in the prem than losing away at a poor Blackburn championship team

If this was even remotely correct how do Wolves' owners continue to plough multi millions into their quest for world domination (but don't tell Huddersfield & Palace!)?

Alas , jeremy did not truly believe any of his own  rhetoric , otherwise why would he value a  club he considered  to be a mid -table  championship  for 175 million ?

Superb spot.  It's a PR masterpiece that they've kept in so under the radar.  Or maybe compared to being bank rolled by oil money it just seems no big deal.
