What actually happened - Lerner was so desperate to get out he sold the club to a Chinese investor who knew fine well he couldn't actually invest due to the restrictions on overseas investments from China. Instead this was an absolute gamble to make a cool £100m profit. He thought he could gamble the clubs future against promotion and resell upon promotion and that's failed miserably.
Well, when they pay a player from a Championship side who are on the verge of a relegation battle, and who is out of contract in the summer, 40k a week what do they expect? I think they paid a fair amount for Lansbury also.
