    The Runt!

    Will anyone admit that they threw their arms in the air when Lai was announced as owner?

    I wish I could find the old threads going that far back to see what people were saying about him.

    I actually refused to accept my free drink he put on offer at that first home match such was my apathy towards him taking over.

    We’ve laughed at Wolves for the Bhatti brothers but jeez......we’re right up there with this charlatan in charge.

    I was overjoyed that Peace had gone to be honest, and I hoped a billionaire would spend a few bob. Not go silly but pay for quality players at the right place.
    The alarm bells rang for me when he bought everyone a scarf and a drink.
    Anyone who goes to a meeting in the workplace where tea and biscuits are Lai'd on, know that's a sweetener for bad news.

    I remember very critical of his freebies, anyone with a clue about the area would not have handed out that warm p!$$ water that was described as beer; if it had been Bathams then the omens would have been better! Anyway, I have never been in favour of Chinese participation in any aspect of British life.

    I recall most been more over joyed that the previous owner was gone.
    There was optimizim initially but fizzled after a while.

    Chinese owners? Who in their right mind would want someone so adrift from our club as that?
