Anyone For Chinese?

Huang Rulun and his brother Huang Rulforanother

I'll get me coat...

[tmesis]

Confirmed today by GetReading that it is only the brother and sister and not a consortium. I know it got a mention recently, but that's a positive for me at least. I'm not a fan of consortiums.

And they met with the Football League, so things are moving at some pace.

I sometimes wonder why they bother.

The bar for the fit & proper test is set so low that a consortium headed by John Delorean, Nick Leeson and Rosemary west would pass with flying colours. I think you'd need to go to the meeting, stab an FA exec to death, and take a dump into his gaping dead mouth, burning his worldly possessions in a pagan ritual, before they'd suggest you might not be fit to run a club.

Sounds fun. Where do I sign up.

Cellino did that and still got through eventually.

Must have known the secret handshake.

So, Birmingham's new Chinese owners have sacked Gary Rowett despite a very good record in the division this season.

Anyone else concerned?

The implication being that all Chinese people are equally irrational

I think he meas they all look equally irrational

And there was me thinking they were going to come in and solve all our financial problems because of how good they are at maths.

That is just ridiculous. Stam is a big name, so hopefully they'll stick with him. He can draw players in which you'd hope would be their intention with any new manager, and ours is already embedded and building a good side. We just need some investment in January and we might finish in the play-offs.

It's pretty much a given that if you were hired before the owners were in charge, then you need to be bloody successful, or you're out at the first sign of disappointment. Big name or not, you're not their appointment.

Is that what happened to you at Thames Water, Ian

Nope, never worked for them. Told them off once or twice.

A great bunch of lads

The good news is, Stam has been 'bloody successful" in his short time and I've not met too many millionaires or billionaires that are complete twats with zero business sense. And I deal with both on a daily basis and would say Jaap's postiston is very safe.

No need for knicker wetting Ian.

You can call me Don but back to the business side of the game, the Thias appointment of Jaap was just as important to them as Royal Elm Park planning approval. Clever business on their part.
