    Interesting if true, but not sure how much is speculation as most of us who've had a look haven't been able to find anything about them.

    I recall someone on here @Jay (I think) doing some investigative work a few years ago and raising similar issues then.

    I think it’s fair to say there’s a reasonable chance they’re not billionaires …

    There were 2 or 3 (self included), I think Deetee and Jay also, but apologies to anyone else who did a bit of digging. It was extremely difficult to get access to anything of note in the HK jurisdiction from overseas (which I expect is part of the point of having a holding company there!).

    It was a fair while ago now and a real pity that the initial concerns of a few are now more common in the fan base given the owners repeated actions and inactions.

    Nowhere in that article does it mention Chien Lee

    Also just for clarity, the EFL only need to see proof that new owners have the money to see out 2 seasons

    If you are a multi billionaire, you don't have your registered office as an apartment above a laundrette

    Had a drink with my financial adviser last week. Talking about football I told him about Barnsley being owned by billionaires. Quick as a flash came back with...

    “Yes billionaires… in what currency though? Checked out what a billion yen was in £. Came to just over £6 million.

    A lot of it comes down to assets (net worth). Sure, Chien (and his consortium) might have a net worth of xxxbillion $ but that may be tied up in a whole host of different things - companies, football teams, property, land, etc etc.

    I have friends who on paper, are millionnaires - could they give you a million pounds tomorrow if needed? No, absolutely not, they probably wouldn't even be able to give you a few hundred if needed. It may take months or years for them to have access to that kind of figure.

    But
    I think they are involved in a number of investments outside of football. PMG are involved in entertainment and buying and distribution of content.

    I don't care what they do outside of sports entertainment. I DO care about what they do at BFC.
    Nice fans wanted rid of them, Nancy fans want rid of them. We want rid of them. Not looking like a good track record on the sports entertainment front is it?

    The quote on the OP is from L'Equipe, an incredibly reputable journalistic source operating on an international level.

    I suggest we take it as read (provided L'Equipe genuinely did publish it).

    I just wish the bigger UK dailies would pick up and look into BFC's situation.

    Please stop talking for others.

    WE don't, YOU do.

    It's like the chants. and the protest. About 50 idiots (48 of them had double science on Monday morning) caused stupidity. The rest of us turned our heads away and hoped others didn't notice they were with us.

    Or the big chants at Millwall. I say big chants. It was really about 7.
