Hoffman's mysterious investors were supposed to be oriental too. We play Leyton Orient this season too.

If it is in the Telegraph and quotes Gary Hoffman sounds to me the gloves are off, the Chinese people who were apparently connected to this on going takeover issue were TV moguls

I'd wear pink for a week if this turns out to be true, in fact if true we should all wear pink for the first home match

Joe Dhinsa did exist though, unfortunately he was just a fraud

Kinda my point. I'm sure there are 'Chinese investors' out there. Just not convinced the'll be too many who are genuinely interested in us.

Hope I'm wrong though.

It pretty much says they're interested in 100% of City, 50% of Arena and land around it to develop into sports and leisure businesses. They then fund a successful football club to promote their brand and other interests.

It was a bit tenuous but Orient was the best he could do.

After so much "is it or isn't it" this season i'll believe it when i see it. Will be interesting though to see SISUs and/or Tim Fisher's response to this, afterall he has a plan !

Would it be worth signing a Chinese player to try and sell some shirts over there? Or am I getting ahead of myself?

As they are oriental, surely they're mongols rather than moguls.
