Just read an eye opening piece on the recent influx of Chinese club ownership. I didn't quite realise the extent of it, or that 2 years ago Chinese leader Xi Jinping ordered his bussinessmen to invest in foreign clubs, possibly as a form of soft power. Ipswich also get a mention in the article, with respect to the Cobbolds. So now the Chinese own Wolves, West Brom, Birmingham City, Aston Villa and Southampton. Thats really something. I do prefer our English ownership, would others prefer what Wolves have I wonder? https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/aug/18/china-english-football-southamp [Post edited 19 Aug 2017 8:11]
