    Think there needs to be, before there are any suicides from members of SaintsWeb.

    We are in a good position in the PL...we will be sold as a single asset, not piecemeal. Our PL share is worth a lot of money. I just hope our buyer has similar plans for the club.

    Depends if they think they can get more by selling off members of the playing staff one by one, then sell off the club with its infrastructure than they could by just selling the whole club in one go.

    If it is one side I really wanted saints to beat it is Sunderland (mostly because of Poyet), but we will lose and Sunderland will go on a resurgence

    Wouldn't panic too much about this...she is a business woman after all. Her first job is to talk Mauricio into honouring his contract and carrying on.

    I don't think Saints are a good candidate for asset stripping. You do that with broke companies where the parts are worth more than the sum.

    The Saints as a whole are definitely worth more than the parts. What are you going to do with a super fancy training facility? You need a football team to go with it.

    This whole thing is just a smokescreen to cover our £400 million transfer of Lionel Messi.

    You heard it here first.

    Remember, most transfers do not involve full payment up-front...a lot of that money would be inbound over a period of 2-3 years, long after you'd presume a sale would happen. Asset-stripping a lower league club might be profitable, but it would be insane with a club for which you'd receive nine figures.

    Am sure the club will be sold as a whole. Some players may go in the summer if the new regime has different plans, but they won't dismantle a team. Anyone who buys us wants a football club...remember how much you get just by being in the EPL.

    So if Cortese has had this resignation in for a while can we consider the training ground his parting gift?

    A very rich person to buy the club off Katharina, assume a background role, appoint a chairman who knows football and give him lots of money.
