They also support McDonalds workers striking for £15 an hour.

When they are mainland-based and their company has just been subject to a hostile takeover by the state and they weren’t allowed to take their own cash out of the country, I think it’s fair to assume there is a level of government scrutiny here. I doubt they were too chuffed about a pretty nondescript businessman with limited financial clout owning such a high-profile asset overseas.

Marxists don’t normally cede power with quite that level of lubrication.

That's harder to draw though, mush!

Well, no one knows anything about that company or its accounts.

I dunno, that report sounds a bit partisan to me.

The problem at DM is a lack of recovery ability and mobility. Oppo frequently get goal side in numbers. Not sure Stephens adds much in those areas. If we want to try someone there then Danso would make more sense but whether he’s good enough on the ball - who knows. I’d sooner have Harrison Reed then either of those.

I think we are missing Adams. He wasn’t scoring but he was getting chances and we were much better at keeping the ball in the opposition half. Play Ings begins Adams with two of Djenepo, Boufal and Redmond (I’d go for the former two at the moment).

Jesus wept.

Sold Targett leaving us with one left back. Loaned Lemina and Reed out (I'm sure we would have sold if we could) leaving us with two central midfielders (plus JWP and Armstrong (who is apparently a wing back now)). The whole thing is just weird and inept.

Indeed. And if it's too much of a ball-ache to get physical flags into the ground we can still bombard Saints Twitter with images of it. Every post swamped with Tibet flags and #GaoOut #Gaoingdown

How's he getting on at Villa? Probably would have started most games for us this season if we hadn't flogged him off.

The more you see that handball, the harder it is to understand how they didn't give it.

I can't believe their record is so good. They are so far behind City in quality.

Seriously, that looked offside but they didn't check?

That's offside

They said it was for Liverpool so it was OK.

Clear handball by Liverpool. VAR with a two goal swing.

Jisheng Goa.

At the moment, we are the new Portsmouth. Heading for financial ruin and relegation under "unconventional" (being polite) ownership.

I'm happy with someone not pumping money in if they can show me: a) they give a flying duck about the team b) their motives are sound and in-line with sporting success c) they have some sort of plan or competence.

And buy a pair of socks on the way out, you weird little ****.

I still can’t believe we offloaded Reed and Lemina without adding anyone in CM. Complete negligence.

Let’s get some facts straight about loans too. As I recall, she converted about 30m of debt to equity. The loans she offered the club were to refinance the ones Cortese took out at eye watering interest rates. So she put her own money at risk to save the club money.
