if it's to be the Chinese man who buy's into/takes over at the club who's to say he will be make any changes at board level, i believe he left the board at Athletico Madrid intact (although he only brought a 20% stake), he's obviously a very astute business man and knows how to delegate, so for me why would he want to remove JP who has served the club so well when there would be a time of massive upheaval. Surely having someone with JP's experience & track record would only help him see some return on any investment he made, not like the people who were employed at the clubs that struggled following take overs.
