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 😇

What from that makes you think it would be a 'statement signing' rather than just a signing?

4pm alert!

Rasmus Ankersen being involved in this takeover is a good sign (although not sure where he'd fit in with Matt Crocker). Behind a lot of the good things that have happened at Brentford in the last 6 years.

I know we don't know his intentions or his ability to spend. The point of my post was to highlight richer owner doesn't = richer club.

Which is better for an owner...? 1) £3b but unable to spend on the club 2) £1b but able to spend on the club

Newcastle don't need a big improvement, they just need to out do Watford, Burnley and Norwich. That won't require Newcastle needing 27-28 more points as none of those sides are likely to break the 30 point mark in total for the entire season.

No there isn't.
