It's important to realize how things have changed when considering any Chinese owners. Chinese investment and ownership of European clubs is not strictly just private investors out for their own interests or capital gains, as has been the case in the past, and so it's not necessarily worth directly comparing to past cases and examples.

 

It's now a concerted government effort for soft power using the football industry as a vehicle, orchestrated from the very top of the Chinese government. The purchases of both the Milan clubs and a percentage share of Man City are the most notable examples of this.

 

It'll only become more clear what kind of investment this is when we actually find out who they are.

Wonder if they've leaked this to stop the unrest after that Tweet last night where some journalist said they've not been signed off by Charnley for some reason.

Unrest. :lol:

 

You are reading a little too much into a few tweets and post on a few forums.

You're paranoid if you believe that.

Caulkin stated on Twitter Lejeune and Abrahma deals were done but Lee Charnley was holding them up.

 

There was no unrest, just a few angry posts on forums, Twitter and Facebook.

aaahh .... the old Chinese Consortium story which just about every club in the top 2 divisions must already have had by now. A good space filler especially when it's about Newcastle and it's June.

If there is anything in this I'd wager it's investment (no bad thing) and not takeover.

Ronny running a story that MA could be willing to sell a stake rather than sell the club. Not read it because their website is f***ing s**** and breaks computers.

 

We have publicly invited external investment before if memory serves?

 

Aye, the official website even had an article with email address on as well to ask.  Loads of dodgy replies came their way.
