It's not "based on nothing", is it?

As for Gao, reservations about him could be fairly based on:
- reported to have been involved in criminal corruption
- struggled to complete the initial purchase and reportedly incurred a lot of debt in doing so
- Chinese business appears to have gone down the pan and been subject to hostile take-over
- convoluted SFC ownership structure involving companies in Hong Kong and BVI
- has barely uttered a peep about why he bought the club or what his plans are
