That guy was a legend in that team with Koeman, Guardiola, Laudrup, Stoichov etc but his last role that I can see was coaching with Laudrup in 2010... bit of a leftfield one if so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno who it is. Jareth said, "does it rhyme with Fortese?" And I was trying to be funny by adding to the Tennis Spanish Friend (Court - esé (slang for person you're next to/friend)) Now I think I've got people trying to figure out an answer which was a joke.

So Miguel is probably at a loose end and maybe Xia was a fan of Championship Manager 96 or so and is having a look at him now!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSV Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Not sure where to post it.. but west brom and wolves getting rich Chinese takeovers as well? Haven't looked in to it but richest man in China for WBA and 6th for wolves. How come they didn't come after villa? Geez competition will be fierce in China now. They would both have more pull than Xia. Especially Wanda group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 The rumours are that Jack Mu is buying Albion and Robin Li owner of Baidu search engine, Wolves. I don't know if those names are right, but it does seem that something's going on at both clubs, and reports in Spain are suggesting that Wolves are getting Julen Lopetegui to manage them. If those takeovers do go through then that will be Villa, sha, Wolves and Albion who've all had Chinese takeovers this summer. We might have some competition in our quest to be the most popular team in the Far East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting out of the championship is tough as it is.. but competing with all these owners with billionaires is almost impossible in the premier league. Yes Leicester managed it but they also have a billionaire owner. I guess it will come down to which club is run better than the others. Reminds me of when we finally got a billionaire before other clubs.. who then all started to get take over and ended up richer than Lerner and he just gave up. Hope that doesnt happen to Xia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Nothing's happened yet, it's all just rumours. And know one really knows what Xia/Recon are worth, but the more I hear, especially from Wyness the more I think we'll at least be competitive relative to our immediate goals, in terms of spending.

Yeah no doubt. Just speculating if they did eventually get taken over by these guys.. its not going to be easy. Chinese buyers targeting the midlands? obviously not from the area.. is there a big chinese population around Birmingham? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
