I was intrigued by a para in an interview with Ronaldo (the fat Brazilian one) in todays FT. I cant post the link because of the paywall but here is the relevant bit:
The big one came last year. In a two-year stint in London, where he learnt English, he was approached to buy unfancied sides such as Charlton Athletic and Brentford. Instead, in September he acquired 51 per cent of Real Valladolid, a team in the lower reaches in La Liga, Spains top division, for 28m.
Id heard of the potential Chinese investment, but never this one. I guess it may have been something and nothing but wondered if anyone else had heard of it?
