Far East owner I think would be bad for us judging by how the recent ones have worked out

Better than an American one. The far east would make us a truly global club.

Don't forget who the first British club to tour China was.

But how would we defend free kicks? "Seen one wall you've seen them all," J Trewick.

Ha ha. They did show a bit of thickness on that tour, Bryan Robson said he preferred Spain as he could sunbathe and drink, and Wile was surprised when they had Chinese food for their meals.

Is that jonathan liu a genuine person to follow about the sale? He keeps tweeting to say he will have news about it.

divinewind · « **Reply #354 on:** June 06, 2015, 08:02:34 AM »

A lot of rumours flying about at the moment, but just rumours.

I do think we will we be hearing something one way or the other pretty soon.

We need to try and find somebody who can translate his Chinese account, see if he's at all credible!

BAGGIE5 · « **Reply #356 on:** June 06, 2015, 09:06:41 AM »

Google translate will do it. I've seen someone else post the same thing on facebook saying there source in london has said the same thing.

Chris Lepowski and Steve Madeley have rubbished the rumours so I think the Jonathin Liu guy is talking pooh! Probably a Saido trying to wind us up ?

I do enjoy this time of year, all that yesterday spiraled from a name being printed in an article to it being a done deal in hours over twitter.

I think we should wait for a price to be agreed before we get excited.

Anything close do you think? Hopefully the new owners have a bit of money

Unfortunately only Jeremy knows the answer to that!

And presumably the buyers will know!

People really think a Chinese billionaire wants to buy us? I have a feeling some will be left Dissapointed when/if this take over happens.

Which is why I can't see it happening. IMO the price being banded around is unrealistic.

Well I guess you have to know the asset value, fixed costs (Ground, stands, academy etc., and variable costs, (Players resale) and the cash flow, future earnings, potential projected profits, potential liabilities etc. before you can value any business.

As Peace is (I think) an accountant he ought to know where to pitch the value as a starter for negotiations. The investors make an initial valuation, if it's in the right ball park then they are allowed to carry out due diligence. This I believe is to ascertain if the valuation is realistic, then they try to negotiate down on the initial bid based on any risks or what they perceive as risks, for example players contracts, player valuation, pensions etc etc.

So while it is a long way to go, the initial offers were probably in the right ball park and Peace would have checked out the investors ability to pay

Need someone ITK on here or Steve Madeley to come out and dispel the rumours. They are getting out of hand all due to this guy who could be a 14 year old Wolves fan in the wind up.

Can't believe any of you lot are actually believe this guy!

If a takeover was as imminent as that our national media would have been all over it by now.

Some random guy on twitter said it so it must be true.

it all sounds like an ice lolly joke to me.
billionaires I would think get someone they employ to do all the work. just cant see a man of his wealth dashing across continents to buy WBA.
why have a dog and bark yourself springs to mind.
