Yeah I dont think gao has much wiggle room and no leverage. He was looking for 250mil in apr https://www.sportbusiness.com/news/southampton-put-up-for-sale-by-gao-jisheng/#:~:text=Premier League football club Southampton,Gao Jisheng%2C the Chinese businessman. bet its more like 175m now Reminder of the article in may linking us with american investors - https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11700/11981915/coronavirus-disrupts-southampton-sale-talks-over-gao-jisheng-majority-share

From April 2020 - Forbes https://www.forbes.com/sites/robertkidd/2020/04/30/us-investor-plans-premier-league-club-takeover-to-recreate-city-football-group/#24d139407b1a DaGrosa, said GACP Sports was talking to “large institutional investors” and wants to move “fairly quickly”. He sees a window of opportunity of 24 months to recreate the City Football Group model “at a fraction of the cost”. “Ultimately, we want to build a platform that will lend itself to going public at some point,” he said. “But the idea is to have all the capital in place, allocate approximately two thirds of our capital for acquisitions, and leave a third or more of our capital as dry powder. “The whole key here is to have dry powder after those initial acquisitions are done to build world class teams at a time when not a lot of other people are investing. Thematically, it's all about playing offense when the rest of the world is playing defense.”

He got bought out by his partners - they had 80% stake. Based on articles he seems to invest with a partner (reason he skipped newcastle was his partner pulled out) and he is the man with the plan to implement and run. Can't find anything about estimated net worth but i would take billionaire with a pinch of salt but defo more than Gao.

Loving the MLG notes i'm seeing

Yeah i had and still have a Gbox from before the firestick but I've had 0 issues with buffering since I have moved over so am very happy with current set up.

Also if I'm not on the tv and want to watch games on a laptop i use this for everything, highly recommend and its free https://streamsgate.tv/

I use express VPN no problems and i play it via the Smarters App on my firestick - you can download the app directly from the Sportsmania guys to your firestick if you get the downloader app

Fairplay @stevegrant not sure if you have done anything today or not but got on all day no issues. If you've done nothing then i understand the pain of this software hahahah

No you can either pay by card now or bitcoin.

Turned on the game and was trying to find him and spotted him instantly but him sorting out his hair. He touches his hair about 50 times in 90mins, think I will start the JWP drinking game for our 1st game

Never heard of him, looked him up and he sounds like a class younger player and is 6ft so not a smurf for a change. Doubt chelsea would sell surely and he did well for a youngster at swansea last season - 21 games, 0 goals and 6 assists. Describes himself as a box to box midfielder and enjoyed going to swansea as he was allowed to be more creative apparently, I'm reading that as got to go forward.

Keep up the good work @SuperSAINT

Can confirm I dont even own a facemask.

Not been able to get on for a good couple of weeks now really. Probably will be the death of it’s not resolved soon.

Already has the same agent as Moussa

hahahah I thought the same thing

Pick a name out of this article on the best midfielders in the bundesliga https://totalfootballanalysis.com/data-analysis/finding-best-central-midfielders-bundesliga-data-analysis-statistics This dude looks good, obviously no chance, maybe check with RB who their next midfield target is hahaha

I back the decision if they have a good list of replacements, i'd be good with Merson, Bullard (or another) who is a bridge from Merse to modern footballer and then someone like Richards for recent experience. Morrision is michael owen in disguise and they better not have anymore liverpool players on sky.

If I order one of these for the club, any idea who I should make the delivery for the attention of? https://uk.polaroid.com/products/polaroid-now?variant=31388161736774 Oh shit its catching.

This potential signing has got all the hallmarks of a typical saints pre-season. 1. Its gets speculated that we are interested in player I've never heard of. 2. I furiously watch youtube and research articles and scout reports and anoint myself and expert on this player and league. 3. I quickly conclude that this bloke is mustard and is world star in waiting, but always we need to shift some deadwood from our wage bill first. 4. Player then goes to be a back up at a big team or ends up 10mil cheaper to some mid level german or Italian team than we were quoted 5. I revert back to my position he was overrated chancer and instead we have someone better in mind. 6. Instead we sign no one and I pretend this was always the plan to give the young players a pathway.

Is there anything your not ITK about, I knew there had to be some scheme behind this, Steve's got to pay for these trips somehow. #prayforstevesairmiles It's majestic watching a legend in action 😆

Turks - maybe cos its your ITK status and you have a direct line into the forum but how the hell are you posting so much during our forum chernobyl ? I''m lucky if I can get in and read most days. #Prayforsteve
