Umm, how do you know what I have or haven't done? Even if I haven't said it on this forum (and I think I probably have btw), doesn't mean I didn't think it. Both Katharina and Nicola deserve credit for the club's success.

No I haven't, my point was that Katharina Liebherr has been the owner for the last 41 months and questioning why people are treating her as if she is new. Yes, new as the chair of the club, but her investment over those 41 months enabled Cortese to do his good work.

Its not just words from a new owner, Katharina Liebherr has already owned the club for the last 41 months! In those 41 months; over £75m spent on transfer fees, over £30m on infrastructure improvements at stadium/traiing ground/academy and the club has risen from the League 1 relegation zone to 9th in the Premier League. She has already delivered a lot for the club.

This Saints academy player was impressed... Ben Rowthorn ‏@BenHampshire140m Met Katharina Liebherr and some of the board today, great people, the club is in good hands! Great future ahead for @SouthamptonFC #saintsfc

Difference in this case is Katharina has owned Southampton FC since 2010 and owned it during a period of a lot of success, good management and large investment in playing staff and infrastructure at the stadium, training ground and academy. Can the same be said of SISU at Coventry City?

Naming the new pavilion building at the training ground "the Markus Liebherr pavilion" would be a better idea.

Why?

For those that think we won't put out a strong team, look what Pochettino did in the last round... 01 Davis 02 Clyne 23 Shaw 18 Cork 26 Hooiveld (Fonte - 79' ) 03 Yoshida 16 Ward-Prowse 04 Schneiderlin 07 Lambert (Rodriguez - 35' ) 08 Davis 10 Ramírez (Lallana - 59' ) Substitutes 06 Fonte 09 Rodriguez 20 Lallana 22 Chambers 25 Gazzaniga 38 Reed 40 Gallagher Plus we now have Boruc, Osvaldo and Wanyama back. But Lovren and Ramiez injured.

They didn't in the last round, as Shaw/Chambers/Gazzaniga/Ward-Prowse are 1st team members the only under 21's in the squad were Gallagher and Reed as unused subs... 01 Davis 02 Clyne 23 Shaw 18 Cork 26 Hooiveld (Fonte - 79' ) 03 Yoshida 16 Ward-Prowse 04 Schneiderlin 07 Lambert (Rodriguez - 35' ) 08 Davis 10 Ramírez (Lallana - 59' ) Substitutes 06 Fonte 09 Rodriguez 20 Lallana 22 Chambers 25 Gazzaniga 38 Reed 40 Gallagher Plus we now have Boruc, Osvaldo and Wanyama back. But Lovren and Ramiez injured.

Maybe a nonsense theory but... perhaps they want to announce it closer to 6pm to be headline news on SSN for maximum PR impact as breaking news.

Sims has barely played for the under 21's (1 start and 1 sub appearance) and you want to skip him straight to the first team? He is still an under 18 player looking to break into the under 21's with Sinclair, Isgrove, Rowe all ahead of him at the moment. People haven't heard much about Isgrove recently because he has only recently returned from an injury.

Song for the Northam Stand on Saturday?

SBOBET are one of the club's sponsors and just tweeted this... SBOBETweets ‏@SBOBETweets1m [Football #News] With just 17 months left on his contract, #SaintsFC coach Mauricio Pochettino is set to be offered a new long-term deal.

You didn't answer my question. You've also bizarrely added a word "organic" to the Tweet trousers posted. Why?

She's owned the club since 2010 and we've seen over £70m spent on players and £30m on infrastructure since then and also used youth players. What kind of growth is that?

Contract extension offer for Pochettino says Alex Crook in tomorrow's Daily Star...

On what subject, for what purpose and through what method of communication?

Adding up the possible values of the players is not how potential owners put a value on football clubs they wish to takeover.

Those are odds to be relegated, not to stay up. Seems BETVictor are the only bookies to have that market at the moment. Pompey are 1/20 to stay up so not really worth a bet. http://www.bookies.com/football/england/league-two/to-stay-up/

Any further updates from your sources? That'll help get the thread back on track.

Yes, we do offer more than Fulham in many areas, but a key factor they have in their favour in terms of their value is they have a riverside site in West London. Craven Cottage's land value would be enormous.
