Why don't you agree with it?

Of course, but that does not render all the other benefits useless. Marcel Sabitzer was at RB Salzburg and then RB Leipzig before his move to Bayern Munich. Both Salzburg and Leipzig benefitted from him before his move to an elite club.

I'm not sure why you think that is relevant to setting up a group of connected clubs. Examples... - Man City group of clubs - Red Bull group - Watford, Udinese & Granada The group doesn’t need to be at the Man City level for it to be 'practical' and useful to all clubs in the group.

Sharing of scouting networks and loaning of players to a club with the same philosophy. Transferring of players between clubs as they progress.

I doubt he'd give up the chance of playing in the World Cup in December if Wales win the playoffs.

That is not comparable. 1) MK Dons does not have a brand name in the team name like Red Bull does. 2) It was 18 years ago MK Dons were formed! The FA rules on altering club names and badges have been tighten even more than 18 years ago.

You can rule it out, the FA's rules won't allow such a name change in England. Plus it is entirely different to Red Bull changing club's names. They change the name of a club to help advertise their Red Bull brand. Sport Republic is an investment vehicle, not a brand in the same way with Sport Rebulic branded goods to sell.

Turkish praising the content of one of my posts! Plus it was about football statistics!

I'm guessing that was deliberate?

That was an additional benefit to posting it!

Unlike Gao his English is pretty good...

I'd guess Ankersen might act as a director of football to look after the group of clubs they buy as a whole, with Matt Crocker remaining Saints director of football

Liam Delap has a long term injury... https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/man-city-injury-news-swindon-22642330.amp

Hopefully some of you find this interesting!

Liam Delap was born when his dad was a Southampton player...

NBC putting a different value on the deal...

Saints will now know Brentford's targets for the next few transfer windows! 😜

Gao brought 80% for £210m in 2017. At the time that valued Southampton at £262.5m! Gao is now selling his 80% for £100m. Valuing the club at £125m! He is making a huge loss!

Thanks both of you 😇
