For what it's worth, my hunch is that a DaGrosa led takeover wouldn't be good. MLG notes: it's just a hunch / gut feel FFS! Not based on anything tangible or scientic at all. Just leave me alone will you?

I'm pretty sure a charlatan would say good things too, perhaps even more so in order to create an impressive veneer. MLG notes: I'm not suggesting this DaGrosa fella is a charlatan, just highlighting that saying the right things is something both a good guy and a bad guy would do

Short interview with DaGrosa on Newcastle local newspaper podcast, followed by discussion on how they think they dodged a bullet... (From 11 minutes) "The American Mike Ashley...?"

"We're looking for clubs with good academies to develop local talent."

...

👍

Surely there isn't enough time to conclude a takeover before this transfer window closes anyway, is there? So, can't see us making any inroads into the transfer market until January if we were taken over.

"It's happening..." (as we used to say back in the good old takeover days )

Uh-oh... "It remains unclear whether his interest in buying Southampton will be successful, because the proposal is dependent on significant borrowing"

Tell us more or I'll ask one of my annoying probing questions again...

At this rate it's going to be less labour intensive to research all Americans that *haven't* been linked with Saints recently...

Ah, ok. Cheers 👍

Apologies if this has been covered before but I've just realised that not all teams are playing in 'gameweek 1' this weekend... Why's that...?

Smallbone probably the closest like-for-like

🤣

Fine for me today and recently

Source?

Cheers @LeG. Really appreciate your insights 👍

Indeed. Is this a quicker introduction to 'normal training' for Salisu than you were expecting? Just thinking back to your "typical Saints" remark when you mentioned a few weeks ago that we might need to bring in another CB...? Or am I wide of the mark with my reading-between-the-lines there? Cheers @LeG!
