Convict Colony

Have you watched our defense this season 🤣🤣🤣

Random input, asked the Bloomberg dude who writes about investment into football and did a good article on US investment in European football and asked him if he'd heard about our proposed takeover. He said........... It's gone very quiet. Read into that what you will 🤣🤣

You should probably give them a wash

yeah saw that article, might make sense as they were talking about if they merger with Redbird then they want to have more teams a la city and Redbird have Toulouse already. Anyway whatever happens i expect the sale and announcement to be underwhelming, would love Ralph to be given some money for a transfer window in the summer though to really see what he could do with 50-60mil to spend.

I dunno, I just dont think someone like him would own our club especially with Blackmore saying to ignore those people in the papers when he has been the only one and seemed to burn his partners in Bordeaux. Redbird bought a 85% stake in Toulouse in July, have 500mil to spend so I am clinging to that particular hope.

Are we still thinking this is Da Grosa or another one like RedBall etc ?

I do but i want someone on the wings to assist a goal

good to see walcott has more assists in 1 game than redmond in 4 already this season

I 100% thought this but they didnt even check, it looks close with Werner running off the defence

great game, comical defending from both teams, usual terrible kicking by mcarthey, loved the finish

Semmens is used to this with Gao's lack of statements

come on bro - whats the snippet about our involvement

I see the EFL are mainly behind this due to them being skint and wanting the 250mil. What happens if the premier league spoke to the 14 clubs not in the Top 6 and voted through that proposal, it would take away the money aspect for the EFL and you only need 14 votes to pass a motion in the premier league. Shove it right up their arses

I know i posted about Redball on the other thread a while back but them having 440mil pounds to spend as a blank cheque company who is focused on using analytics in football seems more plausible as a buyer than borrow other people's money da grossa. "RedBall Acquisition Corp, a special purpose acquisition company, or Spac, set up by Mr Beane and Gerry Cardinale, founder of the private equity firm Redbird Capital Partners, raised $575m in August with the aim of acquiring a sports franchise. "

ok guessing either Nelly G or Kat Liebherrs son/nephew

Just to help - i use sportsmania on my tv but on my laptop i always use this website to get streams https://soccerstreams-100.com/ You just have to remember that once you have clicked the game you want to scroll down the page under the fake video window and you get all the different streams that they have for that game.

Go on, is it you or MLG

He played 30mins in the u21 5-0 win over litchenstein, replaced guendoezni

Wow..... sky and bt being hung out to dry then. Premier league trying to reclaim some of that chinese tv/attendance money

Just seen the news and whilst I am an 8th dan streaming ninja and do not pay myself as i am oversea's, it is surely a massive piss-take of the highest level.

yeah looks ok to me so far, thanks for the update, actually did some work today so was like this at lunch when i saw the Update message

Meh on ITK wars I see ICM have bought Stellar Group, the London-based sports agency that represents more than 800 athletes, including Gareth Bale, and whose contracts are worth close to $3bn (£2.32bn), has been taken over by the US entertainment agency giant ICM partners. Now if they had a club where they could showcase their upcoming talent and sell on for large fee's and ongoing contracts !!

came in for this

Unless they've just sacked everyone in this picture, would love for it to be announced soon that we had new owners though. Martin Semmens just wrote on this - "Travel safe michael, From the 1st day tot he last you have been a gentlement and polite to everyone you have met and worked with. You are a bright young man with a great future and a credit to your family and we wish you well. See you soon Martin" Think maybe the guy has been at Saints and is now moving back to China interesting. Update - Dan Sheldon - Michael Gao is Jisheng Gao’s young nephew. He spent a placement year with #SaintsFC. That’s finished now & he’s going home.
