What if the mystery Chinese business man/spy is our Mr Dai? His flat is next door to Buck House, he hasn't been seen in this country for quite some time .....


No great surprise as he was found guilty of personally committing fraud in a Chinese court in December 2023.


Dodged a bullet there, might have had Andrew along to games and subsequently professing support.

Explains why he bought us, he decoded the message which said "Get in bed with the Royals, no matter how much it costs and then bring them down"

Ascotexgunner When I saw Royals infiltrated by Chinese spy on the news I got my hopes up the government would seize and flog us like they did with Chelsea.
Bitterly disappointed to find out it was Prince Andrew f*cking up again.

Maybe now is the time for a demonstration outside the Chinese Embassy, whilst their less than ethical conduct is headline news.

Show the media that it's not just Ponce Andrew who may have got into a mess with the Chinese. And that The Royals really are in trouble having been bought by a Chinese guy who has been known to associate with some less than desirable characters within the Chinese state.

I don't see how he can demonstrate lost earnings. He made a profit on Wycombe and we've seen clubs like Ipswich generate a big return for their owners. But football is such a high risk, speculative industry. His business plan could have been ruined by an ACL injury or a ref howler in the play offs.

How do you demonstrate at a burden of proof high enough to satisfy a judge that this has cost him so much money?

Partly may be the loss of earnings from the money he loaned the club and sunk in legal fees.

He wouldn't get anywhere, but it wouldn’t be hard to show the vastly increased revenue in the Championship and increase in club value from it and show he could have made X extra in TV, gate and merchandising, plus potential sale.

The aim won't be to see Court, it'll be to force a settlement that is either buying the club for the previous deal, or getting his legal fees, maybe a bit more.

I think its to do with what they were paying for it against its actual value so what they could have sold it on for.....all a bit tenuous.

Look like he was trying to buy cheap then flip it for a profit. I think the main thrust of his case is that the sale fell through because Rehne violated exclusivity.

Ok, maybe not flip it but if you buy something for half it's material value, then on paper you've already made a profit.

So, if all is true, what possessed Rehne to violate the exclusivity? Strikes me it shows them up to potential buyers as a bit iffy.

Have to look forward to administration when it happens I guess.

Makes you wonder where Couhig thought his 'profit' would come from....Maybe selling off the training ground for re- development?

Don't trust him one bit , and pleased he failed. He's probably not the saviour we all want.
