The All New Takeover Thread

"It (his shareholding) dipped below final 25 per cent in January, while Xia’s final departure is understood to be due to his failure to meet certain criteria, laid out in the takeover agreement."

Does appear you are correct Nimmo.

In a strange way, if it wasn't for the 'good' doctor we may not now be in the safe hands of NSWE........

It's safe to say that we, as supporters now have an owner/chairmen of the club that none of us have ever seen. And it feels mighty good!
1. Plenty of financing
2. Hire the right people for specific roles (CEO, Scouting/DOF, Coaching Staff)
3. Let those people do their jobs
4. Instill a youth-based transfer policy that sees a potential return on investment
5. Stay out of the limelight so that fans and the football correctly get the attention
6. ???Rename the Witton Lane Stand????? I can but hope.....

Will we have a New flag for Witton Rd stand then? I’ll wager the ?? will be replaced by a shiny EPL flag!

The BBC are reporting that Xia couldn't pay £30m to Lerner as was specified in their sale agreement so the debt fell on the club.

Absolute shambles of a clown.

I'd forgotten about the promotion payment.

Dr X: All plus fours and no breakfast as the old 'uns used to say.

Christ we have dodged a bullet not going up under
Xia's tenure.

For that I will be eternally grateful to Bruce and his negative football show at Wembley :rofl:

Hopeless. I'd imagine Grealish, Wesley and Mings would be among the most popular names to have.

Although a "Ming" top would be cool AF. Shame you wouldn't be able to add "The Merciless" though.

We need to have a home game where we just praise these motherfuckers for what they have done for us.
