£100m then up for sale

Lerner is far enough back in time that i'm not sure it's relevant. Pringle looks like an aberration.

 

Trying to find a positive in this . With regards to FFP the maximum permitted loss for UEFA entry over 3 seasons is - £45 mil . So a new owner can spend net £200m over the next 3 seasons, not accounting for income from sky etc etc and we still wouldnt break the rules. I'm hoping this is the case as could be some shrewd planning on Kats behalf.

As Koemans agents tweeted this week he was aware of this as same situation at Feyenoord. Hopefully he will have a massive warchest to rebuild with players identified for the 4-3-3 system.

 

"pass the dutchie"? Has PTF been away in Amsterdam and returned with a new, mellower persona?

 

Hahaha no Joe, just havent logged on in ages and finally got round to getting password reset/name change as my old name supersaintapochelisticsexpiadkindocious some how wasnt relevant anymore

 

Might not be related, but do find it weird that contracts haven't been offered, or if they have after mass sales, with the whole club up for sale stuff.

 

Except Krueger said Kat has no intentions of selling the club in yesterdays interviews. Doesn't mean if someone approached her she might not consider it at some point.

 

I haven't seen/heard any interviews, so I'm curious: how exactly was it phrased?

 

In his radio/TV interviews: "Southampton Football Club is not for sale."

 

Krueger then did a separate piece with the Echo, where he said:

"I can speak for myself and I was offered a few National Hockey League head coach positions and I wouldn’t have stayed in Southampton to be part of a sale.

We wouldn’t have hired Ronald Koeman, one of the great names in football, and his staff, for any reason other than working methodically in building in Southampton a competitive club. It’s with the backing of Katharina, so, the club is not for sale."

 

Certainly not the most non-committal thing he's ever said. Possibly slightly evasive with some of the wording, but he doesn't leave much room for maneuver.

 

100 million is fair enough profit. They took us from sh*tsville to 8th in the Prem.

 

Markus told us of a five-year plan with Nicola, to return us to the Prem.

Did that in 3. Arguably, we've established ourselves now - provided we stay up this season.

If she wants to clear debt, finish the training ground, upgrade the stadium and reinvest money back into the playing staff and appoint Koeman, I'm cool.

 

Can PTF please come back so we can renew the "Markus wouldn't have made a profit" argument? Because he wouldn't have if that's what the figure is.
