    So we got the Gypo CEO blowing air into the wagon again

    There gonna be some big issues with the HAL in the next couple of years then you throw in the Foxtel situation I don't see things getting any better until the players take a significant pay cut and wages are halved

    Whilst ever this goes on the Chinese Lightsalesman is gonna keep picking up the ever increasing bill on a depreciating value for his business venture

    I don't see him continuing to do this

    When you add in the variables with other owners too this comp looks like it gonna need severe resuscitation if it doesn't die

    What do you mean by "impending"? The relations and trade will restart soon, not shut down.

    Also, many of the conspiracies spread with certainty online say this is all a Chinese gambit. So Mr Lee will soon be much more powerful than he was. We're on the right side of this war 👍

    It's all gone very quiet.

    Don't know if that's a good thing or bad.

    Lawrie has quashed it:

    Ray Gatt
    @Gatty54
    Hearing there could be some movement re the possible sale of the Newcastle Jets. I understand there is an offer from an overseas consortium (not Chinese).

    We were saying a couple of weeks ago SBS were trying to fan a fire that wasn't there.

    That article and the merger one are the only relevant stories on the World Game.

    Chinese-owned investment firm on cusp of buying Newcastle Jets

    https://www.smh.com.au/sport/soccer/...22-p55y4e.html

    We might just get 1 or 2 good seasons out of this...


    sources said Sky Jade had flagged their intention to keep the club in Newcastle instead of a possible relocation
    This is very concerning though: it means the option is real and has been (or still is) on the table.

    Where are they relocating to though?
    To become a 4th Melbourne team?
    To become a 4th Sydney team?

    I don’t know if anybody could look at this club objectively and say, you know what we can get more support/fans elsewhere?
    Dying product and the Newcastle Jets fan base is still pretty damn strong considering the decade of disappointment. I don’t think you can get that elsewhere.
    Look at Wanderers, they created football and the a league and they are struggling for supporters.

    really not sure why an investment firm whose main aim is profit making would be interested in us at the moment, due diligence needs to include making sure they aren't into ponzi schemes as part of their business model...
    Life isn't the same without Con... but it can only improve without Tinks...

    On their website under work experience it has:

    Arthur Weng was in charge of the asset management business for Evergrande Group in China and Accor Hotel Group in Australia

    They just look like young guys who all went to uni in Melbourne. Don't know how much money they would have behind them.
