    Another one to fill me full of horror.

    Crypto fortunes can turn to the value of a Mars Bar ( or less ) in milliseconds.

    These days it’s not good enough to be a multi millionaire, to be a solid footballer owner you need to be worth half a billion or more.

    We never seem to get the bloke with money to burn, we always feel like it’s being done on a shoestring.

    We need Sir Jim Ratcliffe, but I fear we're not big enough for him.

    Hopefully this guy is part of a bigger consortium. HRK involved with it too. Crypto currency seems to be getting into every revenue stream now. Must be careful.at least things are beginning to move forward . Must be other interested parties.

    At least he will ensure a ‘hands on’ management whilst restructuring to facilitate an on sale. I would prefer that to the current lack of ownership interest.

    Does anyone actually believe this stuff?

    I get the feeling Lai is just stringing everyone along with faint hope of a takeover with no actual chance it’s going to happen.

    These interests are usually just to flush out any other investor out there.
    True or not it may be a stepping stone to a genuine investor coming out....Still much better then Lai if only because China could be next in line with sanctions..
    Lai won't to hang around. That country is teetering on a major collapse which would have ramifications for the rest of the world

    That is my big fear. A new suitor might be the very best for the Albion. I wish I could trust Lai to negotiate in good faith but his small stature means I could throw him father than I could trust him
