The current Chinese owners in the Premier League are at Southampton, Man City and Wolves.

As Meatloaf said, two out of three aint bad.

Man City was a minority investment once the club was already very successful, so hardly the reason for Citeh's success. I forgot about Wolves they do seem to be backing the club OK, but Southampton seems to be in the decline since their new owners took over.
 
Whoever the backers are if Duffen is behind the take over I hope in some ways it is not Chinese money, as they don't seem to be the best owners at getting success. Southhampton has been on the decline since the Chinese took a majority shareholding, W, Brom got relegated, Villa's Chinese owner had to get Middle East owners to invest as he was in the ****, Barnsley got relegated, & Reading is ****e, though it shows that they are Thai owned, I thought it was the brother and sister Chinese owners who were given the thumbs down by the EPL when trying to buy us who had a share in the club.

I was never an admirer of how Duffers managed affairs at City should he be the one to run the club, but there is no doubt he just got carried away along with Browny and he did want the club to be successful, and maybe this time he will have learnt from his mistakes.

If he has learnt from his mistakes it's more than our odious pair of ****s have or will ever do.

Some are successful, some are not, just like owners from every other nation.

Personally, I don't give a **** where they come from, they can be Martians for all I care.

And here's me thinking Southampton had been in decline since that useless twat Mark Hughes took over the team <laugh>

Thank **** he did.

No promotion in 2007/8, no PL, no Cup Final, no Europa League.

I remember being grateful as **** at Ninian Park in April 2007 that we'd managed to stay in the Championship.

Getting us through the glass ceiling in 2008 was the greatest day in our history.

Fuelled by dreams, borrowed money and men getting carried away.
 
So we're reduced to hoping Duffen's learnt his lessons, and we're happy that he will listen to the fans and give us what we want, at least it will seem that way.

And that Man City are in fact owned by Chinese?

That's what we know and hope for now?

Yes I want the Allams gone, but the best thing they've done is to bring the club away from the brink of extinction and sorted out the club financially. Seriously. They did that. But, Duffen might have learned his lessons, and everything will be fine? Seriously?

By the sounds of it, either way we'll be ****ed. Except we'll be getting ****ed in the future by someone with a charming personality who "gets us".

Being financially ****ed was never as bad as how ****ed we are now with a club that simply hates us and connects with no one.

Not sure I can agree with that, at least there is a club. We were right up **** creek, despite all that pair of ****s have done they will be gone one day and we will have a club to go back to, so we were still lucky. Just serving our penance right now.

I can see them taking us back to where we were when they found us, right up **** creek.

Never felt as **** as the last few years have done. Even if we were liquidated and had to start from the bottom it'd have been our club and more enjoyable than supporting the current husk of a club until they sell it has been.

It really wouldn’t, I’d probably be a Man U fan now and so would 99% of our fan base.

I appreciate it might feel like that now but I don’t think it was.

It might hate us but it is still there.

With Duffen, we might not have even that.

Why can’t someone who isn’t a complete bastard want to own us? Seems our way :(
