CONFRIMED: Latest rumours Confrimed as Unconfrimed

[Mid Sussex Royal]

Earnshaw now saying on Twitter that the EFL are fine with everything and he's assuming the hold up is final sign off, so that suggests the "other side" is Dai.

[Royal Rother]

Dai Yongge = Agony Guide

Peter Couhig = Get Euphoric

Bored much?

[Pepe the Horseman]

Twitter having a perfectly normal reaction to the announcement delay.

I heard Dai increased the price to £100m up front, all gate receipts, TV revenue and player sales for 5 years plus Couhig's lunch money, and the deal is off.

[Brogue]

Couhig was at the game last night taking photos with fans. Hardly the actions of a man who expecting the deal to fall through. People are such massive fanny’s.

Very odd as I didn’t think Dai owned the hotel.

Doesn't the club own the property and just puts tenders out every so often to agree with a hotel chain/franchise for its operation?

[RG30]

Sasima runs the hotel IIRC. Anyone that has frequently goes in it will see the decline in quality since she took over.

Article doesn't appear to actually say anything about what this supposed snag is.

[Clyde1998]

Do the Thais own the hotel or do they own a lease on the hotel? In the event of the latter, could that be part of the issue?

[UpThePrem]

Svrivikorn own the hotel (aka Thais).

Maybe Dai was trying to sell it even though he doesn't own it ...

Isn’t there a Thai flag flying above it?
