    No there's not a spelling mistake in the title, I'm not asking what your favourite Chinese takeaway dish is.

    Few whispers flying around that there's a Chinese Consortium in the NE with a view to buying the club & Ellis Short out

    What's people's thoughts? Anyone heard anything?

    Nothing doing on any of my normal rumour mill places nor from people I know that are normally ITK.

    FWIW - I like the chilli chicken balls from my local takeaway

    If they have billions to spend and are willing I'm all for it. I despise Wot the money men have done to our game but that's the way it is now so join them or be left behind.

    I'm up for anything that takes us forward, a reincarnated Bin Laden can buy the club if it stops the rot.

    Depends on the buyer really. Not fixed on Short staying or going to be honest.

    It would certainly put a different slant on things if it did happen like.

    We always start poor then enjoy a spring roll so the Chinese will fit right in.

    I for one would welcome our new Chinese overlords. What we've been needing is a manager who knows what he's doing and someone willing to back him. We've had one but not the other for a long time.
