Hound72 busGeekins BBC RB were loving it last night and this morning, but i can't help think why release this news at the time they did? We're all happy to off to Wembley, release the news so as not to get a negative reaction. I'm suspicious.
Fukks sake, Last night we got to the Championship playoff final which could be worth 170m + for us if we win it, we also added two billionaires to the board.
Yet some folks still find something to moan about.
yep
The takeover was announced half way through the second half of the game - that was the weird thing for me.
Reading into it, it was ratified yesterday, and they were obviously wanting to share the news asap. I don't see any conspiracy behind it, we've all known this would likely happen for a long time.
I'm surprised a deal was agreed before the play offs were over though, surely we are worth many many times more as a Prem club. No doubt there are two prices depending on whether we go up or not, and they are happy to pay either
Given the Chinese duo have effectively been funding the club for the past 5 months, I would imagine the deal was agreed and signed months ago and was only waiting on EFL ratification to go through. I.e. even though the Thais could have got a better deal if we do go up, they wouldn't have been able to go back on it now.
