Hahaha, that entered my head as well. I thought the rumours would be we are being bought by a state, with our luck it won't be Qatar, Saudi etc...it will be the above or Albania or Afghanistan.

Brogue So a question for the more fiscally minded people.

We are in debt about 100mill isn’t it ? But that money is owed to dai, yes?



Rhetoric question. Where did Dai obtain the money from? With others, he is under investigation for £132m of loans obtained by subsidiary companies of the group.

Which again begs the question....if he failed the EPL test for ownership, how was he allowed to own us. Why does the EFL have a different test.

As explained previously, the tests are largely the same, but the PL has far greater resources. And the tests are for that deal individually, except looking for sanctions on the individual that would bar them as a person. But then sanctions can expire.

Structure a deal differently, maybe learn from why a previous deal didn't go through and sort that out and you can pass a later one.

People need to stop thinking of these tests as some sort of magic intentions, competency or suitability test... They're a combination of checking legal eligibility and transparent funding.

Neither were in question for Dai Yongge, our problems stem from complete mismanagement, not a lack of money etc.

The current interest is thought to be from



Might be a bit controversial and therefore might not pass the F&PP test as they made their fortune through the selling of Weed.

Yes, Chris Wilder is buying the club, no wonder it's taking a bit of time.

It’s Ricky Gervais.

We’ll get similar levels of publicity to Wrexham and have a surge of new commercial partners and ‘supporters’ from the United States.

don't get many snippets of info but i believe this rumour stems from Sheikh Abdullah Bin Nasser Bin Abdullah Al Ahmed Al Thani showing interest. He apparently met dai in March to discuss the sale.

It’s actually Nassef Sawiris. He was spotted talking to Dai in the McDonald’s in Harbin, China.

Is he the Malaga owner? I think he's currently in court regarding whether he should be excluded from owning the club.
