A little birdy told me that the deal with Martin Lee is done!!!
Have heard he's already sold Ugarkovic and Biraz to start clawing back the $5million he just set on fire.
All signage in the stadium to be Asian lettering and everyone has to wear a shirt with the number 8 in it.
Hoff has picked 888888.
Glory days ahead boys
(Until he goes broke and the club folds for good).
who will represent the people's interests against Mr McLee?
stone cold furns will go through hell and back
Good news for our chances for next season. Thought ffa would blow it and let it drag on a couple of more months when by which time the decent foreign and local talent had committed elsewhere.
Um...
1 - It ain't confirmed.
2 - If it is, we do not know what Mr Lee's plan or setup is.
Go ahead with your prognostications though.
I'm being cautious. Having a read of some of the demands the Ledman Group made of the Portuguese 2nd Division when negotiating the naming rights, which were rejected, are concerning.

Now these demands were rejected because the clubs all stuck together. We are one entity, owned by a governing body who have never been flushed with cash and have no long term interest in owning us. We as a club entity don't have the same power to negotiate on our own as the league did over there. Our negotiating position is weak because the FFA want us sold (though this could be in question with their actions at times).
If it's true, I wonder - are we going to see the Youth team full of young Chinese players? Are promising Chinese coaches going to be sent out here to try their luck in our league? Will we field Chinese players, regardless of their ability in an attempt to develop them, at the expense of our own local youth?
This may be seen as sky-is-falling type scenarios but everyone is on board with this guy without knowing ANYTHING about the deal. We see $$$ signs and lift our skirts.
Call me paranoid, but we've been bitten before and we might not get what we wish for. To convince me, I'm going to have to see more.

Totally agree mate.
You've raised some very valid concerns.
Just want to add that I hope sticking point for FFA is that he will need to genuinely engage with the Hunter business community. Without that local corporate backing at all levels this club will go down the same path it did as with Con and Tinks
Don't know about anyone else but I find this picture offensive considering it is in reference to the nationality of someone who could possibly be the new owner of our club.
What connection is there to an obviously wealthy Chinese businessman and the 1989 Tiannamin Massacre of Chinese students by the Communist Red Army?
