We're chicken feed in the grand scheme of things. Dai clearly doesn't give a toss and the embassy/Chinese government won't either, not when he's got bigger and more serious charges hanging over his head back in China. If they want to pressurise him, they'll pressurise him for that, not what he's don...
This. I don't know who the alleged prospective buyer is, only Ian knows that sort of thing, but just because they're Saudis it doesn't automatically follow that they're part of the ruling journalist murdering family :roll: oxf*rd off Leon you dipshit. https://media.tenor.com/DqR6T0Yl8lYAAAAM/contem...
Chinese money, Saudi Money, US money (US corps are normally far right in political outlook/funding) It's all the same. Owning a club needs hundreds of millions/billions and as we all know, football has entirely lost it's soul to money and the really quite unpleasant people who pursue and amass it. ...
We may be a very large fish but that's in a league we're attendances are counted in the hundreds. I'd look at the example of someone like FC United. They average about 1500. Aldershot average about 2,500 in the National league. The big issue would be finding a "home" which in all likelihoo...
Why not? Maidenhead, Slough, Basingstoke; all get far less than 4K. I'm pretty sure most of their regulars would rather have that than no club at all. I've been to all of those often and always enjoyed it. Because we're recently a Championship club with an average attendance of 12k, who in good tim...
As has been pointed out on a number of occasions by others, there is limited development potential at the training ground because of protection orders and listed status. Not sure you'd get anything near £30m for the ground either. As a functioning stadium maybe but I don't think the land is worth th...
Next protest needs to be outside of Chinese embassy they can influence Dai and would not be happy at him embarrassing them They wouldn't give two shits. I'm inclined to agree with Ian on this one. Tomorrow's chip paper in China. It's hardly a tipping point considering the shit that's going on with ...
I just don't think that, a business would throw another £200k at another failing business without some inkling that it's not going to be dead money. They're not that big a business to be able to just write those sorts of sums off. Even as a loan, they'd get fcuk all out of administration or liquida...

The club's a mess but the general consensus of the fans is that he walked in there and thought he'd piss it without putting in any effort. That's a seriously underperforming squad they've got and 2pts in 6 league games tells it's own story.
Seriously, if I was a local business owner who'd bailed the club out twice already at significant cost to my business, on top of the 10 year commitment I'd already made, I'm not sure I would a third time 6 months later, without some sort of nod that I wouldn't just be throwing money away. The owners...
To be honest, there's been such a disconnect created over the past decade that I'm not sure I could be bothered with any other club. I've toyed with Marine but the ball ache of getting to the ground isn't adequately compensated for by any great enthusiasm for wanting to watch them. I'm quite content...
