    Afternoon all

    bit puzzled by that sponsorship deal
    I can understand if pif owned all Saudi telecom but they don’t
    That would be like saying carnival or Disney couldn’t sponsor Southampton , as pif own a % of them also, along with numerous other companies

    I'd understand if it was 75% ownership, as this this majority and enough to influence decisions in AGM's.

    let's be honest there have been a few games this season we won that we should never have won, so I would think sooner or later relegation will come unless some big changes are made

    Yep, Chelsea, Everton, etc. Relegation nailed on without new direction.

    Good thing is - If the PL were going to reject, they would have done already.

    well in two weeks bruve will likley have lost 5 prem games on the bounce largely due to poor rotation in a congested fixture list. This will make it easier to get rid and bring who they want in.

    if Bruce had finished strong it would have been the worst thing that could have happened basically

    surely it can't be much more than a couple weeks now... once the season concludes if it isn't I'll start thinking it's off

    Thats our status quo tbf, little to do with managers in place. I dunno who said it recently, it might have been @Roland Deschain, but while the current regime is in place the best we can hope for is a few seasons up and then a collapse.

    Like, you even look at teams with good managers if they don't have the investment a drop is inevitable. We're a 2000 club in a 2020 league.

    It will go through once Keys is dead. Put money on it.

    he sold his soul don’t forget. If you make a deal to stop this deal, you have to sacrifice something. He will live forever
