windermereROYAL So the question, if the EFL charge Dai again which seems inevitable now and he`s found guilty and banned from football ownership for 12 months, what happens?
As far as I can see he would be have to sell within 28 days, and if he refuses what is the outcome, punish the club and again with ejection from the league?

Yes, if Dai is banned and he doesn’t agree a sell we’d be expelled from the football league.
The bottom line is we are oxf*rd unless he miraculously agrees to sell us.
Or the EFL obtain powers that don't currently exist to force him out.
Is anybody else at the point where expulsion may be preferable to this saga continuing? If Dai is still here in a couple of years, we'll probably be non League and have no real infrastructure to build upon. A clean kill by the EFL and we all know where we stand, and can focus our energy properly into building our own club.
Gus the teenage cow Imagine you are Dai, you have no emotional connection to club and you are just a hard-nosed businessman who doesn't want to see his investment go down the swanny. What is your next move?
Brum Royal How does the EFL/FA actually force a sale though? If they ban him from ownership, how does that affect his position?

Its probably similar to being banned from being a company director. He will still own the club but will not be allowed to have any say in the running of the club.
If the people who then take over the running make any decisions that are based on his influence or instructions can then face criminal prosecution. Would he be able to find someone willing to take that riak for him?

His investment is already up the swanny and he knows this, based on the offers he has received.
He's sunk ~ £50 - £100m in. He owns things that people are willing to give him less than £5m for.
If true, big if, the Mike Ashley offer was no money for the club but annual £1m rent for stadium.
That would provide DY with a legitimate £1m a year british revenue stream to pay his bills as and when they fall due on his UK property interests.
Clearly he turned that down.
Suggests he's actually not bothered at all about what he gets. If you have $700mn or £1billion, £5m is neither here nor there.
The loss of face people talk about is loss of business face. This has proven to be his 3rd failed football venture. I suspect recouping a million here and a million there means nothing to him. But getting one over on a load of fans who are publicly trying to humiliate him may be an attractive proposition.

Where do you get this from GWL, because you're the only one I've seen quote £5m, and all the rumours I saw was that Ashley wanted the stadium, bot the club.
Uke Given that Dai is under investigation for shit loads of stuff in China and that they have the death penalty for embezzlement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_o ... l_offenses
We are well down his list of priorities...

I'll trawl through my internet history. Definitely twitter. Maybe the Athletic?
Searching through twitter is a fruitless exercise the search engine is so bad. So basically feel free to ignore the numbers. But the point remains. Would Dai yonge be more bothered with £10-£50m or would he be more happy with sticking two fingers up to a bunch of englishmen who are publicly antagonising him.
genome I was thinking a lot about the playoff final yesterday
Was that penalty shootout a huge sliding doors moment?

No. We didn’t have a squad to compete, Dai woukd have spent big and bad. We'd have been relegated with more spending but parachute payments and still ended up roughly where we are now, give or take a couple of years.
Orion1871 He'll probably try to "sell" the club to his sister in the event of him being banned from football activity.
