Lazy sod! It's only 135 pages....
I think most will be happy having an owner that actually cares, takes a vested interest, and has a long term sustainable plan. We've never really spent big money well at the Albion, so the reintroduction of a scouting system that we had under Ashworth would be really useful. We'll leave the excessive spending to our claret and blue friends.
'We've never spent big money well' is an understatement. It could be argued we've never spent big at all, and always sold our best players. Anyway I'm pretty relaxed about the whole thing, whatever will be will be. UTFA.
We’ve certainly “spent big” but they’ve been disastrous signings in terms of value for money. Grant, Chadli and Diangana.
In monetary terms to ability then Oli Burke has to be the worst signing I can think of. Ridiculous fee for a kid who'd only played a handful of games for Forest before bizarrely being sold to Dortmund. They quickly got shot of him when we offered them a ludicrous sum. Zohore has to be right up there too.

This from Twitter

Given that's from The Tampa Bay Journal local business press that's definitely a leak. The 'declined to comment' bit is a red herring to deflect the NDA.
As an aside, I do like a portrait photo looking wistfully/wisely indirectly at the camera. He certainly fills me with more confidence than that grinning manchild who couldn't even say "I hope you are all happy" properly.
Dude has got good PR game.

Would be more credible if the journalist knew pounds from euros.

Listen buddy, my Poppop didn't fight the Germans so you could use fancy European metric currency!

Fire sale due to happen around 2pm on Sunday.
Wolves are just going to bundle Fellows, BTA, Yokuslu and Kipre onto the bus and them with them.

Carlos has brought Tony Pulis in for one match only so we can play for a draw and generate a further half a million in gate receipts. Barry Bannan told me.

Does anyone know if Alex Hearn's still celebrating, or was that just .com bollox?

If he is he’s a tit, as if his £2m loan to holdings Ltd has not been repaid and he’s received 2.35% of Lai’s 88% holding, making Hearn a 2% minority share holder, with his shares worth the grand total of zilch, as the prospective buyer will only want control of the club and only needs to purchase shares off Lai.

I've no doubt he's a tit, but this loan worries me more than anything else and, with us not not being privy to the terms of the loan agreement, I've just got a nasty feeling about it. I'm probably wrong, though.
