I haven't seen the thread but there is simply no way someone has offered Lai £175m + to buy us while we're in this division.

I would agree, current valuation must be more like £75m tops.

This is quite interesting & might explain why Lai wants to hang on to us.

In anybody's language £150 to £200 million is a lot of money & I just can't see Lai (or the Chinese Government) putting that at risk, by not supporting a push for promotion.

This is the conversation in question?

The guy claims Lai was offered £700m only a few days ago - complete and utter bulls4it

700,000,000 Chinese Yuan equals 79,961,000.00 Pound sterling - sounds about right.

If we give this any credence then he would have specified Chinese ¥.


To speculate further 1.3 billion Chinese ¥ is £148 million. We simply aren't worth that and it would still be a loss for Lai.

I don't give it any credibility whatsoever to be honest.

He also states the interested party offered £700 million which is obviously complete and utter rubbish.

On current valuations you could purchase 2 premier league teams just outside the top 6 for £700 million.

In context:

Fosun allegedly paid £40 million for Wolves

The prospective buyers of Newcastle United are discussing a valuation of around £350 million.

my guess as a layman - he bought for 180ish million and we now worth 70ish million (relegatigation etc ) after that initial huge loss, he wont sell now. our next couple of years downgrade, wont even touch the initial loss? only problem is how much he screws us over, from now in :( till he sells

I suppose he can sell the best players we got and pocket the money and make i dunno 30-40m back that way and then sell up but that will still leave him around 60m down.

I’m sure it’s been stated before by other posters, who understand company law, that Lai isn’t able to pocket money as you suggest, but I could be wrong.

The longer we stay in this league or god for bid we drop down a division then clubs valuation will plummet. At the minute with Premier parachute money I'd say you would be lucky to get 60 million when that payment is no more then the most the club is worth is 30 million.

Genuine info that Jeremy has offered Lai a way out by buying the club back circa £75m- £100m but it means loss of face in China so it wont happen same source also told me our Chief Executive is on £1m per year!!!!

The chairman is on a token salary of 88k but Jenkins will be robbing us blind with his salary.
