Gareth Rodgers to leave Southampton FC

Our new owners will be CITIC Securities.....China's largest investment bank.

 

Cheers Mr Rodgers.

 

Where does this come from? Whilst I have seen them rumoured I am yet to read anything that is conclusive?

 

Who the hell are CITIC Securities?

 

Probably a better bet than Lander imho. One of the richest companies in China if my recollection serves me well?

 

Well lets hope we have a nice surprise this summer then.

 

Good luck Gareth.

Buckle up everyone!

 

Saints to become the new City.

Whether it's Manchester or Birmingham remains to be seen.

 

Where you seen that mate?

I remember them being mooted.

 

According to Forbes rich list they only have a net worth of $31.1bn. If I convert that to pounds in the current climate they have a net worth of £31.1bn.

 

Have you been taking lessons from Beddy? £31.1 bn = $39.5 bn.

 

'Only'

 

It was a joke about the current value of the pound.

 

That was tongue in cheek.

 

I got that, but I felt sniffy about it.

 

Mind you, I remember when the £ was worth around $2.40.

 

I was in the US a while back and an American said he'd like to visit England, but the exchange rate was so poor. Swings and roundabouts...better for tourists.

 

Yeah sorry mate realised that after I saw your reply to Fran.

 

In two years it will be $311bn....

 

F**kin ell... get them in Kat.
