Not a clue but the best news here is that it should shut Beds up!

Can't tell much from their website as it's all in chinese. Seem to have links with John Terry and David Seaman so that could be 2 positions filled.

I think KT turned us into an attractive position for any investor. One thing for sure is in our current position we won't reach any higher than League 1. The statement has some encouraging sound bites and it'll be interesting to how the develops.

It's definitely exciting news but I think it's wise to be a bit cautious - depending on the figures involved we don't want to become a freak show/Harlem globetrotters like Notts county a few years ago. If we have an increase in playing budget I hope it's focussed on quality, proven lower league players and not big time Charlie's from higher up looking for a pay day. This news probably goes some way to explain the lack of gk and defensive signings in the last while.

This can only be good news. Fair play to kelvin for acknowledging that outside investment was needed in order to progress. If the new owners have the clubs interests at heart(and it seems they do) then it's a great deal for all parties. The Chinese football market is huge and the little old cobblers have tapped into it thanks to kelvin making the club a sellable asset. I know there's often scepticism regards foreign ownership but it seems these chaps seem decent enough on face value. China's a big old country,I guess we will need to order a few more replica shirts!!

Very positive and whilst it always pays to be cautious this sounds like exactly the sort of agreement needed to take the club forward. KT remaining as chairman is a huge plus too. Well done all. This club has come on miles in the past 18 months

Interesting news!
Certainly making the right noises in the statement there, nothing like the grand plans laid out by some of the more 'dodgy' owners we've seen in the lower leagues in recent times. Particularly like the line about there being a budget put together to sign and develop youngers players.
I'd guess it may mean we see a few young Chinese players come over to join our youth/development team. Can't do any harm I guess as long we keep trying to develop local talent too.
As has been said let's hope our recruitment is focussed on quality additions now rather than being seen as a last pay day for players on the way down.
Cautiously optimistic sums up how I felt when reading that

Not sure what to make of this, one half of me is excited and the other is horrified!

They've said all the right things in the statement and it all seems to be done in the right manner.
I guess proof will be in the pudding.
For a club like us though, it's our only real option isn't it?

This happens to others not us. Excited but cautious. Appears all positive at the moment, as a Northamptonian I am waiting for the negatives (if any) to be revealed.
