A must win for us. We have Juve up next, so if we want to avoid having a gap starting to open between us and the rest of the pack at the top we need to win this before we get beaten by Juve next week

You know to be honest, I no longer want SES to take majority now. If they're struggling so much with finances, I begin to wonder if they really have any money at all. It's now come out that Yonghong Li is just a broker. Making him yet another Bee isn't it?

If Silvio wants to send minority stake to get some cash injections in, that's one thing. But this is a little too risky. SES are looking like hustlers and not serious buyers.

The Bee farce is kind of why I never believed this one either. A mystery group of Chinese businessmen who refuse to be named and no one knows the source of their finance? It's no different to Bee as the fake broker for a non-existent group of Middle Eastern bank cash.

I get that Milan is still a huge name, but unfortunately it's attracting unscrupulous schemers who are trying to make a quick buck off our struggles. Sure, we may end up with 200M out of this, but that only makes the whole thing more sordid than it already was.

I agree with this sentiment as well. It's worrying that a supposed trillion dollar consortium can't come up with the 320m pocket chnge required to close the deal out. And I personally don't buy the excuse that we're being fed about how there are difficulties with moving the capital out of China due to goverment regulations. I've been reasing up a bit about those regulations, and they generally apply to much larger capital going out of China (I read it applied to investment over 10b)

As for Yonhong Li and Han Li, I thought it was a well known fact that they weren't the ones actually putting to cash upfront. They were just the ones who put the consortium together. It was very obvious that they weren't the actual pockets behind the deal, they're not known, if they're any sort of rich, it's certainly not rich enough to run a football club that's for sure

Fact is, this deal has stunk from the very beginning, just like the Bee one. I think on some level we've all been blinded by the hope of finally being rid of Galliani and the out from under Silvio's thumb and the rampant mismanagement currently going on at the club. At any rate, let's see if everything falls through, or if the deal does actually happen. But our future is very uncertain atm, and what's troubling about this is that we could lose guys like Donnarumma and De Sciglio because of the uncertainty.

No one is going to give up 200m like we're being led to believe. So if this does fall through, I'm inclined to side with the conspiracy theorists on this and believe that this was all a money laundering ploy by Silvio to move his cash out of China
