But why was there a restriction? What is the difference between handling a capacity crowd for an international or a Cup Final and a club game for European or PL games?
What bit of the SAG meeting notes referred to the number of events, I don't remember it being discussed? I think the Wembley limit is simply down to how many times it's reasonable for the locals to have 90,000 people descending on them and once every ten days or so isn't a very low level. Thought personally, I think it's an utter ****hole and could be improved by simply demolishing the whole place and making it into a giant car park.
Chien lee is in talks to buy 50% of Brentford according to the sky sports page. Can't post a link off my phone
So Dai and his sister are still in line for Reading, Chien Lee for Brentford and AC Milan have just been sold to some Chinese investors? They'll just move all the clubs to China soon.
I think Dai Yongee gave up on Reading, more issues with FPP test, they bought a Belgian club instead (I think it was a Belgian club, just working from memory).
I read somewhere they were still buying Reading and if the sale went through and they went up then Reading wouldn't get promoted due to the tests the PL have already done on them, I might be wrong though.
If Chien Lee is now interested in buying 50% of Brentford, I wonder if he had the available clout to actually buy City previously?
Considering we're all hoping for a Chinese group to buy the club, what evidence is there from clubs with current Chinese owners that they have invested significantly (especially in the transfer market) to advance the club?
Wolves' owners are multi billionaires and they have struggled in the championship. Money is no guarantee of success.
Inter's owners spent something like 70m euros in the last 2 windows on Candreva, Gabigol and Joao Maria, and that was when restricted by FFP. They're apparently set to spend 300m euros on player recruitment in the summer once the FFP shackles are removed.
Villa, Wolves and West Brom are now Chinese owned. Villa and Wolves have spent loads, West Brom were only taken over in September and so far they've only bought Livermore.
I recall a comment from Adam Pearson earlier this season that suggested a deal could be done to buy City but it would be very difficult and not completed until the end of the season (an opinion of his not a fact) .. now also from memory wasn't Pearson linked with the Hong Kong group allegedly interested who floated the idea of buying us on the stock market .. since then all has gone very quiet .. I take it no one has any inside info or updates
