Wolves are for sale and Darlo wants some smooth thighs

[Aikiwolf]

Has anyone rang Clubcall yet to see what the latest news is?

I'll ring once teletext gets round to the page with the number on.

Don't let your mum and dad catch you. They'll go ballistic when the bill arrives.

To be fair my dad used to ring it more often than I did!

The latest one I've heard is that it's with the FA for sign off and the club is hoping to confirm everything by the end of the week. Not sure how we can cope with another 2-3 days of waiting if true!

 

[BillyDee]

Wot, no announcement?

 

[Wolvensam]

Everything crossed

Thanks for the info Sam.

No problem. I wouldn't have posted it unless I was certain it was concrete - I know how misinformation is treated!

Sadly I wasn't given any sort of timeframe on announcement and so forth though. I can't imagine the club will ignore the speculation much longer though.

From the limited knowledge you have Sam do you know if it is the same consortium as the Milan one?

 

[FrankMunro-371]

I have a meeting until about 4. Could they hold fire until then.

I'm not sure if it's exactly the same consortium man-for-man, but Li is fronting it apparently.

So Robin Li is the reason for the Communist Party running China?

Where on earth did I say that? I said Robin Li has largely made his fortune by developing a search engine (Baidu) that heavily censors its results at the bequest of the ruling Communist party. Any dissent in China is vigorously repressed and control of information is but one tool of the governments oppression.

I remember seeing Leicester kit at Bangkok airport three years ago, and thinking how naff it was. Not now !

Hopefully, the same will happen at the Shanghai International airport with the Wolves.

Sounds like Molineux Mix.

So your story is: Business creates software for customer, and it works how the customer wants.

If he applies himself like that to Wolves we should be all good.

In other words, he conducts his business within the laws of his country. I don't think you can really call him out for that, any more than you could criticize Morgan for perpetuating the capitalist system that has made the houses he builds unaffordable to those trying to get on the property ladder. The people of China would be oppressed with or without Baidu. At least they can now look up what they're allowed to.

Simple fact is that anyone who is worth $14bn is going to come with some baggage. And of course any business that succeeds like Baidu in China is going to do it with the tacit approval of the CP. But give me Robin Li over Russian oligarchs who are hand in glove with Putin. And the days of the local businessman owning a club are long gone: if we want to be back in the Premiership, then we need a billionaire. Now what's taking that bugger Messi so long to sign...

He's going to be otherwise occupied for a while apparently...

I'd guess you are the only person refreshing the official site. I think there are a lot of people refreshing forums, twitter, facebook, etc.
