I think any Chinese take over is worrying even if Wang Jianlin is worth 35.5 Billion USD........Look at what's happened at Blues, now Wolves are being lined up. Villa are Chinese owned and I don't see them tearing up any trees in the Transfer market.

Vincent Tan changed the Bluebirds of Cardiff into RED, the bloke at Hull wants to change their name.

Sounds daft but I would prefer an Indian Buyer as they are more closely linked with England and English traditions as we are with them.

I'm also worried that if these owners come in and start buying mega stars (BUT WON'T EVERYONE WITH BILLIONAIRE OWNERS) that season ticket prices will go through the roof and stop the likes of us genuine fans buying them for us to be replaced by richer glory grabbers. Maybe I'm delusional and need my medication.....NURSE!! BEDPAN!!    

I really get your point Worldclass, and agree with you. Is it inevitable that most/all of this country's top clubs will be owned by overseas billionaires with no real feeling about the game and the club's traditions? Can the FA not legislate and bring in some control over this, or has the horse already bolted? I fear it has.
Obviously the best outcome - if an overseas buyer IS to take control - is for him to look at the very thing that he is buying, and to respect the people who hold it dear, and to develop sympathetically. Sounds a little naive to expect that from a billionaire though, eh? Being a fan himself will JP encourage this in SOME sort of degree in takeover talks? Let's hope so.
