So buying Chengdu didn’t open doors in China for him ?
He only went over there to do a shirt deal with desun and bought the club (well SUFC bought the club) and since he has become a big player in property over there.
Not to mention the shopping complex’s and string of coffee shops in China.
Being the owner of the football club has risen his profile in business circles and his companies will have got work of the back of it.
So what he has lost on the SUFC swing he has more than gained on the business roundabout.
