Are you on glue?
LOL do they still snort that crap?
JP could've tried to buy us back at a reduced rate, got us back up and flogged us for more again I reckon.

If a dog was half as saft as you you'd put the cunt down.

Lai being derided now as was JP. Lai purchased the club and immediately told everyone that we were a successful business model and he wasn't going to change a thing and leave it run as is, all self sufficient. Now he's called nasty names because he hardly has any input into the running of the club and doesn't inject cash. JP just said we would only spend what we earned and he was called a tight cnut as well.

I'm afraid the economic landscape of football has completely changed in the past three years, as has our financial situation following relegation.
The old self sustaining business model won't cut the mustard in today's championship, where an average £20m investment is required without parachute money.
If we don't go up this year and he still refuses to sell up in an attempt to save face, i'm afraid he's essentially keeping the club hostage.
As an aside, he wasn't my favourite bloke but JP at least could be arsed to attend matches. What little respect i had for Lai went with his decision to only come one game last season.

No idea what happens if we don't go up. He's stuck with us and needs us to be reasonably successful otherwise he looks crap. Strange situation.
The feeling is mutual. He speculated on a punt and, despite a bit of bad luck, has proved completely inept as a football club chairman. If it wasn't for the passivity of Black Country folk, he would have faced much more hostility over the past couple of years.
He has absolutely no affection for the club and the community (despite his quite frankly patronising bullshit three years ago) and saw us as little more than a vehicle to deliver a bizarre eco-town project that has since fallen on its arse. Yet more ineptness in an industry he is supposedly an expert in.
Whilst i'm not going to start painting my bed-sheets or ram-raiding the glass doors, i can't wait to see the back of him.
On another note, i hate the fact that our owner panders to what is essentially a despotic regime that represses its own and other people.
Fuck Lai, fuck China. Bring back Trev the shed.

The article all made sense, up to the point it suggested a possible way for Lai to get his money back would be to invest in HS2???? The poor sod already has one white elephant.
