Ah, this!

They said the afternoon IIRC bit don't recall a time being announced yet

Eric Morecambe: "I'm playing all the right notes but not necessarily in the right order"

Yes, there is an element of trust that both Saints and Pompey fans are/were bestowing upon their respective owners but that's where the similarities end. Pompey fans knew about the dubious background behind their chain of owners yet decided to stick their collective heads in the sand so they could wallow in the 'glory' days, funded by imaginary money. We have looked into the background of our owner(s),as much as Google will reveal, and haven't found anything untoward. Ergo, our "trust" is based on somewhat sounder foundations than that of Pompey's. Yes, the Cortese / Liebherr ownership of Saints may turn out to be a big financial disaster but we can't be accused of "seeing it coming" because the danger signals that were glaring Pompey in the face simply aren't there. At least we're asking the right questions about it... whereas Pompey fans seem to have stopped asking questions about their current owners...

He seems to also be a Rolling Stones fan looking at his Twitter account

A nice "problem" to have...

Maybe he'll be as good as man managing a squad containing Osvaldo as he was when at Espanyol...

An excellent read - cheers for posting

I believed on the 18th January 2013

Is there anything stopping the Liebherrs sponsoring a blade of St Mary's grass for £50m.... (for example)...?

Official announcement to Italian stockmarket? @OfficialASRoma: Corporate: Osvaldo http://t.co/PMgDBmyYik #ASR

Could the financial "jiggery pokery" that happened on the 1st July (as reported on the Companies House website) have anything to do with massaging our "revenue vs wages" ratio? I've no idea how it might work but could we somehow be 'recycling' cash within the Liebherr 'empire' to keep ourselves below the FFP cap? Said Trousers clutching at straws....
