Who is Wang Li?
The ownership of the football club took another twist yesterday when it was disclosed to the HKSE that Yang Yuezhou has cashed out his interest in 4.86 billion conversion shares to leave him with a tiny remaining stake in the club (0.28%). What is concerning is who he has sold his stake to – and just what that means for the club.

Why are BIH holding on?
One of the big questions that has been asked of late is why BIH are so intent on holding onto their share listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Yang Yuezhou update
There was a question on here last week about Yang Yuezhou – who you may know as the bloke who lent BIHL £12million last year – and what’s he doing recently. As it’s something that’s doing the rounds, I thought I’d write something quick up about it and to kill some misconceptions.
