Saint86 Posted 1 October, 2020 Share Posted 1 October, 2020 Other than ITK snippet on Monday/Tuesday, has there been any more news on this? I.e. who the likely party is, and when we can expect it to happen (with a slight bit more definition than, "soon" if possible 😅) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Wayman Posted 2 October, 2020 Share Posted 2 October, 2020 There is certainly good old fashioned honest money floating about even in the UK. ASDA has just been bought back into UK ownership from US retail giant Walmart by the billionaire Issa brothers in a £6.8bn deal. Our Brexit supporting local Oil billionaire has b*gg*r*d off to Monaco (EU?) so we can't keep our hopes up of him being interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping that the group interested in Newcastle may have diverted interest to Southampton. Just optimism and wishful thinking but they left that deal too easily and my instincts made me think that they may have seen a better alternative but that’s clutching at straws mixed with a smidgen of optimism. Nothing wrong with a little bit of an imagination and optimism and I’ve had most of my optimism beaten out of me this year Lets get our midfielder’s medicals done & player signed before anything else or we won’t have a Premier League club for potential owners to buy.

Unless they've just sacked everyone in this picture, would love for it to be announced soon that we had new owners though. Martin Semmens just wrote on this - "Travel safe michael, From the 1st day tot he last you have been a gentlement and polite to everyone you have met and worked with. You are a bright young man with a great future and a credit to your family and we wish you well. See you soon Martin" Think maybe the guy has been at Saints and is now moving back to China interesting. Update - Dan Sheldon - Michael Gao is Jisheng Gao’s young nephew. He spent a placement year with #SaintsFC. That’s finished now & he’s going home. Edited 6 October, 2020 by Convict Colony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a period of increasing creditability the failure in mondays transfer window and the doubts raised by Egg have caused a few to doubt your ITK credentials. However success here would confirm you as the leading ITk and usurp LeG as the number one ITK on saintsweb. Failure here is unthinkable as it will give credance to Eggs claims and the tide will turn with more and more doubters will voice their view. The next 2 weeks are a pivotal for you and will either confirm you as a genuine mongboard ITK great or another also ran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
