Yeah, I don't buy that this is something backfiring on Gao either. Rather, I suspect this was planned all along.

What a ****ing farce. The day he leaves our club will be a great one.

You think Gao wanted his business to be £15m worse off. I don't see any benefit to Gao here.

All that happens is Saints fans dislike him (even) more and we lose out on sponsorship revenue. No doubt the deal was dodgy in the first place - but I don't see how this would have been part of a plan.

Plus money refunded to supporters and less shirt sale money coming in.

Still, I'm pleased to not be associated with them anymore and part of me is glad that such a dodgy move has backfired on Gao if I'm completely honest.

Fwiw though I don't think we'll get a similar amount. Maybe 3/4 million a season. Though I always had doubts that they ever had / were going to have the £22.5m anyway.

Is there a link to them pulling out of the sponsorship deal? This is the first I’ve heard of it!

Agreed.... you reckon there’s any realistic chance of that happening anytime soon...? The Chinese economy has been nosediving for the last few years abd doesn’t look like improving any time soon. With the erratic political situation between West and East also deteriorating too, we need another knight in billionaire shaped armour....!!

"I also believe we could be forced back into the market for another CB. Classic saints im afraid. "

LeG on SW. Truth in the Bednarek rumours perhaps?

Classic Saints would surely hint at one of the "bigger" players being sold, which would rule out Vestegaard or Hoedt. Can't see Stephens being coveted by a bigger club (although I do rate him highly) so Bednarek?

Beat me too the post, Would be such a shame to lose either Bednarek or Stephens, But i wonder if this would allow Ralph to bring in the CB he wants in Hinteregger.

Would explain the links to a new CB.

I said earlier in the summer we might well cash in on Bednarek due to his contract situation. Be a shame as him and Stephens formed a good partnership.

I imagine if Ralph wanted either to stay, They would have and would sign a new deal. Surely Ralph okayed the sale, if it true that we are going to sell one of CBs. Wonder how much Bednarek would be worth?

Just because Ralph wants them to stay doesn't mean that they'd be happy to sign a new deal.

Well it's all speculation of course, But we are building somethng pretty good here atm, Why would say Bednarek or Stephens not want to continue playing, Unless Ralph wants to bring in another first choice CB i guess.
 
Anyone got any articles regarding Bedarek rumours - I haven't heard a thing?

He has looked good for us, especially for his age, but still makes a fair few mistakes. Can't see anyone spending £30m+ on him.

Hopefully it is Vestergaard!
