Li and Ding Lei are the owners of WWFC. Confirmed in China.
12 Jul 2016 03:28:08
Where did you see/ hear this mate? Have scoured the internet but cannot see conformation anywhere!
12 Jul 2016 06:30:50
The document that mentions ding lei is in Chinese but has been translated seems it bit confusing looks like Chinese did a e&s job ( repeated old stories) they seen ding mentioned previously so just put 2+2=5 also said wrong stuff about Milan - on diff note we got Chinese web site now so somethings happened.
12 Jul 2016 06:51:46
Check out Sportsmole.
12 Jul 2016 07:26:16
How do I find Chinese website.
12 Jul 2016 08:08:04
Waited all our lives for a billionaire and then two come along at once!
12 Jul 2016 08:33:57
I think this has been misinterpreted, I think it means to say either li or lie will be buying the club. Sports mole is hardly a credible source for a first hand confirmation, you will have to wait for the club for that.
12 Jul 2016 08:43:25
moxey at wolverhampton station!
12 Jul 2016 08:49:46
Not surprised about that maybe 2 will be involved in takeover, but Jack ma is also a close investment partner of li also it looks like they like the idea of the golden palace 2.
12 Jul 2016 08:49:55
Give him a shove, lol.
12 Jul 2016 09:01:11
Very much doubt both would invest in one club as both have own brand to promote, but billionares fighting over us? Yes please.
12 Jul 2016 09:05:25
£60 million for Wolves? They could have bought Aston Vile for that. Morgan obviously wasn't leaving until he got every penny, as usual.
12 Jul 2016 09:10:53
I belive it to be just Li. there's been load pf cross reports, but Li is most consistant.
12 Jul 2016 09:22:07
Theres loads of press outside molineux.
12 Jul 2016 09:49:44
Could have brought villa for that but would also have taken on a club with 30 million of debt and a wage bill that's double the size of ours for a squad of players who proved last season aren't good enough for the premier league. So I see it as a positive sign for us as they obviously see it as a chance to build a squad good enough to become established in the league as opposed to trying to do it with dead wood.
12 Jul 2016 09:53:12
Still not much coverage in the national press, if anything at all. Does that show how irrelevant Wolves have become? Or is it lazy British journalism or too much focus on the Premier League?
12 Jul 2016 10:21:23
It's being orchestrated as a big splash, so I guess we'll see nothing in National Press till it's official, but maybe today if Press gathering at Mol is correct?
And yes, as Championship Wolves don't matter - I was surprised but it's definitely how it is, the National press almost completely ignored that we'd been sponsored by Moneyshop and had a 14k+ petition against it, if that had been a Prem club would have been all over National sports news. It's why (certainly if it's Robin Li rather than Ding Lei) this is so ace, because the World is changing, going global, only Prem and other Countries top Division equivalents matter now, and we were getting left behind in the Championship completely and permanently.

I don't care if it Ding Lei, Robin Le, or Bruce Lee for that matter, I for one will be happy in a takeover that will inject some new ideas and fresh direction into WWFC. Some of the quotes regarding Ding Lei being a dissapointment are a joke, quit ya moaning and embrace a new horizon.
OUT OF DARKNESS COMMENTH LIGHT.
12 Jul 2016 11:27:40
Well said Sydney Wolf ðŸº.
12 Jul 2016 11:48:25
Ding Lei is potentially no different from a hoard of other rich foreign owners of British football clubs, for all we know Ding could be another Viktor Tan with crazy ideas, he has money but it takes more than that and we have no evidence he has it. Plus the link with him looking to invest in Zimbawe, in the Robert Mugabe regime is appalling. I'm not embracing an owner that is willing to be involved in Zimbawe, SJH would spin in his grave.
Whereas Robin Li is something really special, he might be worth £11billion now, but it's from innovation rather than licensing (like Ding) , so in a few years time as his innovations grow, he could be worth massively more, like over $50billion. He is connected to UN, has proper understanding of Western business and culture. By association he would naturally gift the club and Wolverhampton a very positive image, Ding wouldn't.

Interesting observations Ulf.
The wall of silence is incredibly frustrating. but I see it as clear evidence change is in the air. just hope it is as exciting as we are all imagining!
12 Jul 2016 13:52:28
Ulf, I have read a lot of your posts in the past, whether long or short.
Some of the stuff you have to say is very interesting, some other not so much, where do you get all your information from? Are you a politician 😆
Joking aside, when the tumours or Ding Lei appeared 6 months ago or so, I don't remember anything untowards him then, nor do we really know anything other than what we can read on internet about Robert li, they both are a unknown until recent press, so I embrace it, neither will be any worse than the current regime which is draining out beloved club of anything it has.
12 Jul 2016 14:02:34
I have missed you Ulf.
I am very interested to see how the club and the brand is marketed globally.
12 Jul 2016 15:08:52
lol I google loads and follow tangents, add that to my mine of useless information, pictures come together and then I try to paint them :-)
It seems Ding Lei was touted as being interested in Wolves in December, maybe just because he was in the area - at the time he was travelling outside of China, that maybe included Europe, maybe even Wolverhampton, but apparently definitely included him visiting Zimbawe to consider investing there. That's such a bad connection, Robert Mugabe gets his forces AK47's from China, which is kind of illegal as his forces have a habit of committing crimes with them. Our Monarchy won't even talk to Robert Mugabe, so I don't think S-Union-JH would want his beloved Wolves selling to someone who'd consider investing in, is maybe even to some extent already involved in Zimbawe (like many Chinese already are) .
That aside, there's nothing bad against Ding Lei, and he does have money, and the club need a new wealthy owner. He's just not automatically incredibly good like Robin Li is, who's like a Chinese Richard Branson. If Robin Li I think it's safe to assume we are in the best hands possible, if it's Ding Lei imo he'll need to prove himself.
and re WABFK Ty, though I'm not sure many miss me - I got put on 24hour delayed pre-mod on Mol Mix ages ago, and even though my posts then got vetted by a Mod first before being posted, I still got warnings! They so wanted me not to post :-P.
