I know I'll be hammered for saying that, and hope I am completely wrong, but I won't be.
I totally agree with you, the writing is on the wall. One thing confirmed to me about Lai and that was when he let IDEAL take his companies logo off the shirts and let IDEAL BOILERS become our sponsor. If anyone was a mulit billionaire would you let such a thing happen? It clearly showed he wasn't investing a penny and would take whatever money he could. He has no MORALS OR STANDARDS. Unless we get a new owner we are going downhill. Nothing football. industry anything should be sold to the Chinese unless you want it to be stripped and closed down. Sadly that's what they are like, just look around at anything they have invested in - its all bravado to begin with, then empty promises and quick stripping of assets after. It's just their nature - it's everywhere within the Chinese environment. I don't know! but I would bet £5 of my money, parts of our ground and other assets are already being used as collateral for loans. The beauty of this is Lai doesn't have to show this in the books. It's no surprise he is avoiding the place, when the truth comes out he will have a price on his head. I will wait for the response again from the posters on here. Please remember I'm not the devil, its the people running the club.
We had £15 million to buy Dack in August apparently before we sold Chadli - then £12 million for Chadli that's £27 million - now we have got nothing. Where has that money gone - the recruitment team and Jenkins need to explain it please.
