So the Day Has Arrived!

It’s official – we are now owned Carson Yeung. Mr Yeung gave a press conference this afternoon where he pledged his commitment to making the club as big as possible.

He has pledged substancial money for new players for January, between 20-40 million. I believe that will include wages, but whichever way you look at it – it is streets ahead of the previous board. Let’s hope that in the excitement, the new owners don’t overstretch the club, something I believe is now officially called – “doing a Leeds!”

There was one funny moment where one of the gathered throng asked Mr Yeung if the managers job was safe. He paused, and then said “not at the moment!” Relax Alex, it turns out the question had been interpreted incorrectly! (Mind you I did wonder what the interpreter had ACTUALLY asked!)

As I said in my Sammy Yu article, the new guys are appearing to say the right things. There seems to already be a different feel to things. I really hope things do work out. As I said on 5 Live this morning, I’m cautiously optimistic.

What are your thoughts on the new guys, the money pledged and that the managers job is safe? Put your comments below.
