Oh no, it looks like Yao Ming hasnt bought the Shanghai Sharks after all. Instead, all theyve signed on to be is an entrusted investor for the next five years. Despite agreeing in July to transfer stakes in the Sharks to Yao, it seems that those stakes will now be sold on the open market. But those who worry that this just means even more disappointments for Sharks fans neednt: Yao has said that even though hes not the owner, hell be doing everything he can to improve the teams performance.
