In the light of our Benevolent and Trusted leader Peter Pannu explaining there may be some "Unpopular Decisions" to be made on the back of Yeung's consistently frozen assets, here is an initial list of potential "Unpopular Decisions". Feel free to add any thoughts or your own "Unpopular Decisions":
1) Placing the entire squad on the transfer list.
2) Placing the entire squad on the loan list.
3) Selling the stadium to a third party and renting it back.
4) Renaming the stadium.
5) Raising ticket prices
6) Cancelling Chris Hughtons contract and bringing back Sammy Yu as Manager/First Team Coach/Ben Foster replacement.
Potential "Unpopular Decisions"

I think Yeung had hopped before to get investment and backing from people in China, but sadly i think these backers got cold feet and never jumped on board.
I think thats why we could not spend much after last Summer.
I also think people like Pollyanna have already risked as much as they want on us by buying shares, i dont think Pollyanna is willing to invest in the club any more than what its cost her already.
Thats why Yeung then had to turn to lending off his property.
Reports say Yeung has assets of £150M others upto £300M but seems his ready cash was only about £50M
Thats not really enough to back a club like ours with debts in Championship so minus Prem cash and Yeung has bitten off more than he can chew.
But now getting arrested as ended any chance of him doing any good by us.
I think they want to get court out of the way so as that they can then see if they can get some investment into BIH
The question is who wants to be a part of a sinking ship

I've just read we've even stretched to suing Xtep because in picking some dodgy Chinese manufacturer we've ensured our main kit supplier is making (I kid you not) their own knock off football kits and merchandise by modifying (ripping off) our logo.
To throw some more drama into the mix, they're also suing them for supplying the same style jersey for Villareals away kit.
You couldn't make it up. These guys will try anything. I wouldn't be surprised if Pannu starts hanging around Villa Park executive car park in attempt to catch Randy Lerners driver off guard as he's reverse parking to sue someone else for a few extra quid.

Thats where 2 sides of every Story comes from.
Rumours with Xtep was
1) They not happy at our club not being in Prem i.e so they dont get exposure and thus if not promoted they will cancel their deal.
2) They are upset at being linked with a club whos owner is a potential criminal and if Yeung is found guilty Xtep will cancel their deal.
3) Now Xtep are either selling kits with no royalties to us for use of our logo, or they are making kits that resemble our logo (maybe they got 2 balls or 2 worlds and not the one ball and one world we have), and thus Blues have rights to Sue them.
We really dont know whats going on with that.
But i thought Xtep was a repertable company, i cant see them doing knock offs of our kits to make their own money.
What % of Shirts sold in China would be royalties to our club what 25% Tops.
Are Xtep going to do so many look a like tops to save the odd cash here and there.

Anyway look on the bright side Ryan is doing his best to get investment in the club.
Here he is hard at work.

Looks like dishes in the background, so i guess its not so much Money Laundering in the normal sence, but the dish washers being used to clean more than dirty plates.
So its not only the Dirty Bone China from China thats going through the machines but also Dirty HK $$$$

Yes, there are many potential sides to this story. But Banjo, its another fire. It might be a small one, but its another fire that our club has to put out.
Of all the negative stories since season end, I reckon 85% of them have been attributed to Blues. It's bloody tedious.
