    Very much relieved they're not looking to bring in their own manager or first team coach. Hopefully they will back Ralph in the transfer market.

    Adam Blackmore has just said it is an equity buy out i.e they have not had to borrow in order to buy us. Promising.

    Because he's Serbian and they're stereotyping.

    Maybe he is, but we don't know and that take is lazy at the moment.

    Spot on. Spontaneous stereotyping. Guilty as charged. It’s my age.

    That's more than promising. Looks like Semmens has done a brilliant job yet again.

    He was named in the Malta Papers so not great at paying taxes.

    It is simple prejudice. He is Eastern European and rich so he must be some kind of James Bond super villain.

    Exactly. No reason why we can't go 2 steps further with investment and a bit of luck.

    I wonder if the low price reflects the fact that the £75 million loan will be paid off?

    It reflects that the £75m debt exists. They have essentially bought that debt as well as everything else we own/owe.

    So it is now their responsibility to repay it, whether that be the full amount or not is down to them.

    We will be an active and engaged owner, but we will not be starting any revolutions. We were attracted to Southampton because it is already a well-run club

    A billionaire who pays tax is a millionaire....

    I hope he is a bond villain type. He could hollow out St Mary's to fit a massive laser with the ultimate aim of annihilation of Portsmouth

    (Lyanco definitely cast as chief enforcer/henchman)

    I was expecting that TBH. Something may come up which we can't say no to but we were never going to go crazy this month. If we simply make Broja's move permanent that would do nicely for me.
