He still pops in. Earlier today in fact...

Have the P, O, N and Y keys broken on @Lord Duckhunter's keyboard? Surprised he hasn't blessed us with his esteemed view on this yet #legend

Sounds like he's good at 'tax efficiencies'....

Oh joy... you mean we've got another 4 years of Lord D's superiority complex to endure...? #legend

Q: "Will the club be more competitive in the transfer market" Semmens: "We're in a better position than yesterday but you won't see any major changes in our transfer strategy, maybe gives us the opportunity to invest in a couple more Livramento type acquisitions" (or words to that effect)

I think it's pretty clear from the Semmens interview that there isn't going to be any significant increase in 'off the shelf' player investment...

Semmens: "There's a lot of very rich people out there looking to get involved in football clubs but without any plans. We didn't want one of those"

No, but I wish I was! Doh...

Will Adam ask Semmens the most obvious question I wonder, or tip toe around it? i.e. "will Saints still be shopping in the c.£15m bargain basement player window or does this takeover open the door for player spending in the £20+ bracket, if needs be?"

oops!

We've been taken over by someone who wants to run a self-sustaining football business....

"The proof is in the pudding" FFS... it's "The proof of the pudding is in the eating" Get it right Adam!

Tweaked it for you

Radio interview with Semmens coming up here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/live:bbc_radio_solent

Anyone know if Gary Dias (aka Diaz) gets to keep his job?

It's 'Monkey-Chicken' FFS. Never forget the chickens.

No squirrels FFS

'positivepete' seems well connected.... indeed, he may well be the only forum member to have met Ankersen in person (back in 2016)...

Quick... someone check to see if Ankersen and Kruegar have ever been seen in the same room together.....!

# Devil's advocate klaxon # If "the players" are happy could this imply that we shouldn't expect any significant signings this window as a result of the takeover...? (In other words, better players coming in to replace existing players would result in some unhappy existing players, wouldn't it....? (yes, I know, Trousers over-thinking stuff as per usual! ))

Hmmm.... sounds a bit like the sort of character we'd chuckle at if he had been linked to a Pompey takeover back in the day....?
