terrytini Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 32 minutes ago, Rob182 said: In my job I review businesses including Football Clubs (in fact I reviewed a Championship club last Friday), and reviewing the 'Control Persons', is separated between Ownership and Control. Who owns the business, and who controls it. Like we all think, Dr Xia controls nothing. From the outside, it very much looks like NSWE are the ones calling the shots now (and rightly so!), so I'd say Xia's control is all but completely gone. He's still an owner though. I agree, it's probably down to interpretation, but in my job, at least, often a beneficial owner of a business will be considered as those individuals that own 25% or more of control or ownership. (Or in more 'high risk' sectors, who owns 10% or more). By that definition, at least, he's still one of the people in charge. But, as we've both said, it's down to interpretation I'm guessing his shareholding will get diluted down every year anyway, to the point that he's a minor shareholder that will be swept under the carper with his oversized suits and emoji tweets! PS: MINGS IS KING Lots I don’t agree with here but wrong thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted July 8, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 8, 2019 Regarding the suggestion that we could have waited, is there absolutely no possibility that Bournemouth wanted to get this done quickly so they could use the money elsewhere? For all we know, we wanted to pay £15m, they wanted £25m, a compromise was reached with £20m and the add ons should the transfer be a success. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was a simply case of he got extra holiday due to being with us in play offs and he probably said to them he wanted everything sorted once he was due back for pre season. Would imagine he was due back this week so everything got quickly sorted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted July 8, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 8, 2019 20m is too much but I’m glad to see him back so I won’t feel too bad about the extra 5m 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman22 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Well that's the left side of defense sorted with Tyrone, Hause and Targett signed. Still hoping for another right sided CB and a DM as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Said before and after the Playoff final that he was by a distance the most important player of the loan signings so I’m so pleased we’ve made it permanent. I think Bournemouth are absolutely mad to get rid of him but it seems that everything had gone sour there. It’s a lot of money but such a crucial position in such a crucial season for us.

AV82 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 (edited) F**k the money, I'm ECSTATIC he's back. Can you really put a price on an already settled LEADER coming back into a depleted squad in a new league? If we must pay a premium to give him a full pre-season instead of waiting until the final day of the window I'd say it's worth every penny.

sidcow Posted July 8, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 8, 2019 (edited) Has anyone actually announced Mings yet, or even as is the way these days, has he asked to be announced? This is all on the back of some Twitter report? I think we are getting some premature e-speculation here. OK missed the SSN bit, but still nothing is done until reported by the club though.
