Could be a few ,could well be a the bigger consortiums over here and on the continent.

The new rules are to stop them spending silly money, which was never Lai's plan so will not effect us much.

The main thing I hear from Wo1ve5 & Vile fans on ownership is "our owners richer than yours", well now they will not be able to use their extra financial clout anyway.

Win win really

I can't see it being us as we only use the money the club has generated and not the owners money. I doubt Lai would be able to recoup the £170m he reportedly paid for us.
I was one of Peaces biggest critics, and i still think he set himself up for life at our expense without spending any of his own money, but the working model he set at this club was bang on.
Without the help of a billionaire, we have gone from paupers without a training ground, to being amongst the 40 richest clubs on the planet. The fact we are now run by a billionaire will not change the way the club is run.
The ones who should worry are the ones who overspend like Pompey and Leeds did.
Which brings us round to Birmingham City and old 'Arry.

This was highlighted in yesterdays E&S. The Chinese government issued a statement saying money would no longer be spent on sports clubs outside China.
Albion responded by saying it doesn't matter, as we only spend the money we generate.
Wolves and Villa declined to comment.
We have done ok so far without the help of someone elses money.
It will affect our two neighbours should they get promotion and wish to strengthen.
