    If this geezer is linked to Lai in anyway it blows Patel’s credibility right out of the water.

    That was my first thought! Seems one huge coincidence and a tax dodge

    On Linked-in there is another Yukai Sun who is founder and portfolio manager for Acacia Global Partners based in San Francisco which is described as a "quality and growth investor". He also sits on the board of KeepGlobal based in both Chicago and Beijing. With a background in business investment he seems a more likely fit for the position than a statistician but it is probably not him either. Hopefully Mr Patel will follow through on his promises of transparency and put our minds at rest regarding any links to Lai.

    I’m sure he’s just Chinese. There’s a lot of them. We can’t stop eating Chinese take aways because Lai is Chinese.

    I can! Known fact that most Chinese ******** in restaurants and take aways are disgustingly filthy. Most people love a particular Chinese in our town but fail to look at the hygiene certification which gives it a score of 1

    Let’s hope there’s no connection to Lai and look forward to this question being posed!

    I still have uncomfortable memories from many decades ago when we used to regularly eat at particular a Chinese in Sheffield - until one day we read in the local paper that it had been closed down after an inspection discovered half a German Shepherd in their back yard. Nobody said where the other half was, but we had a pretty good guess.

    I bet there is not a town or city where such a rumor has not circulated. Nonsense, absolute nonsense in most cases.

    That’s not saying that a some Chinese restaurants/takeaways are not particularly clean. Many are not I suspect.

    If I go to any restaurant or other type of eatery and I have a feeling it is not in keeping with its cleanliness then I ask if I could take a look at the kitchen. If I am refused I simply say to the staff thank you but if you are not confident enough on your hygiene then I/we will not be eating there.

    Another good indicator is the toilets. If they are not clean then the likely hood is neither are the ********.

    If you are ever in Southampton I can absolutely recommend the Oriental Night restaurant in Bedford Place. It is run by a husband and wife and the cooking is done from where you can see.

    The food is the best Chinese I have ever tasted and it is priced mother than reasonably. The whole place is spotless and the service is excellent.

    Back on topic. I care not what nationality this person is and I will reserve judgement until I see how it turns out.

    Action for Albion don’t seem concerned, they say this has nothing to do with the club it’s just the name of the company.

    Correct. Shilen Patel bought the majority shareholding for Group and NOT Holdings which to the best of my knowledge he has nothing whatsoever to do with. More West Brom News b@ll@x by the looks of things.
