Guo does watch the games and is emotionally invested in seeing us do well and did come over before covid. He probably saw more games in person than the more senior glaziers at Utd.I doubt that it was a coincidence he was at the friendly in Spain.
Now, what that meant is anybody’s guess.
I think it was his first real chance to come since covid and having a massive portfolio it would have taken time to get to us with how screwed up the markets have been.
he and the people he travels with are “the fosun” who would likely be a bit more ambitious than Jeff I feel, I am beginning to think is more of a caretaker who can make decisions but the real decisions on money spending are made well above his head.
Some fans and I will I admit have been guilty of this see or have based the actions of Jeff and Scott as the actions of “fosun” as they are the face, but we don’t know if they are fully engaging with those above to get more money and investment as it increases the eyes on them. yes it is a conspiracy theory, but we have all seen people in our own lives get promoted to a managers or role of responsibility and then become risk averse or willing to make necessary changes as they don’t want to put judging eyes on them and potentially cause problems for themselves later down the road if everything doesn’t pan out.
I am calming down over the lack of speed in this window after a few bits I have heard on the grape vine that were about the fact we were picking up the pace and being more proactive and decisive with moving on from potential targets. We asked and moved on from one CM from Chelsea very quickly, I don’t know if it was Gilmore or RLC, sorry that person has said that the deal for those two will involve a loan 2 buy more than likely due to the new owners willingness to spend money on new players to make the club “more his, than Roman’s”
It is just interesting I am hearing a bit more about our dealings from others since Guo went to the game and Gestifude has seemingly been asked to take over sorting a few players from those at the club as two other prem clubs have seen moves that were going at a good pace involving gestifide have slowed down a little in the last 10 days.
