"Lander back in the frame for Southampton as PL clears Gao for £240m takeover" http://www.insideworldfootball.com/...frame-southampton-pl-clears-gao-240m-takeover
Sadly this deal won't go away like I had hoped and we seem destined to hope KL has done her homework so let's just get on with it as quickly as possible now
I'm nervous about a lot of different Chinese investment, but I suppose an economic invasion is preferable to a military one. I'm ok in the short term with Kat staying on and insuring investment is made. AC Milan put in a similar guarantee that would void the sale if no investment was made into the team/club and they've been spending big already. The long term vision of Gao is a bit of a concern. I'm not expecting him to attend games regularly and I imagine us to end up just being another team/business in the portfolio.
How about this for a blast from the past... apparently Wanda are involved in the bid to buy Newcastle.
Don't be surprised if of investors are more visible if Villa is anything to go by. The investors/owner is very visible and hands on but I hope they sit back and allow RK and LR continue with what they have done so successfully over the past few years (just with a few more quid)
Tbf, even in these heady days of technological progress [ah, Concorde where are you?] it's not exactly a pop across town for the bloke. How about if he promises to watch every game on TV.?
Apparently any progress with Tuchel is being delayed until the takeover is finalised/concluded. I MEAN WHO WOULD POSSIBLY HAVE THOUGHT THAT TO BE THE CASE? (Me).
Well let's hope we hurry up before decides against it / goes elsewhere! Where did you see this news btw?
They won't need RK. And LR is too old an boring. They will bring in Maradona or Zenga as football director and demand Zola or Zico become manager. Then they will ditch the black box because they have no need for it as they want big names with at least a couple of years left before retirement. Then they will see Cortese's abandoned kit, fall in love and that will be our colours from 2018/19 onward and our badge will be a Panda bear.
