Unlike Mauriss you can actually watch the TV stations this bloke runs. Was there any reason the Chinese needed to get out? They’ve sold up at a loss of over £100m.

Sure i read that somewhere but could well be just making it up No didn't make it up.... https://www.dw.com/en/chinas-communist-party-forcing-investors-to-pull-money-out-of-european-football/a-57171818 Edited January 4, 2022 by gjohnson accuracy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it could be to do with the Evergrande Group and more generally troubles in the Chinese property market. It's not been covered as extensively as it might have been, but there are rumblings that the issues there are similar in magnitude and potential impact to the stuff in the US that led to the 2008 crash.

Wasn't it that loads of people thought Xi loved football so they all started buying clubs to curry favour, then he did a 180 and declared it was all to extravagant so people were essentially left with clubs that didn't achieve the soft power goals they expected.

Certainly sounds very plausible. As Xi has tightened his power I can well imagine how his personal views, or people's beliefs on what his personal views are, would result in actions like this. A loss of 100€ million in the context of the Chinese economy isn't much, especially as there will be many ways to offset this 'loss'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
