It is illegal under the Company's Act to lend money to a Director. This would apply if the club tried to pay off Gao's Loan.

I expect some members have Programmes from that era and it may state prices in those.

Very true but we have far more income coming from Sky now than when Kat first lent the club funds.

We shall have to make a credit search in the next few weeks on St Marys Football Group Ltd to see what changes have been made within the clubs financial arrangements. By then the Companies Register should have been brought up to date.

When we lost at home to Rochdale, I turned to my son and said that I do not expect to see Saints in the Premier League again in my lifetime. Thanks to the Liebherr family we have and then some. Magic.

Not sure if you have read my post correctly as the Capital gains and Loan repayment are different issues. If her loans are repaid as others have suggested, it is the club that repay them unless she writes them off. She would not wish to convert them to equity as she did before, as I suspect this would fall foul of the deal with the Chinese. Whilst interest on the Loans are not normally tax free, I agree the capital repayments are. However, as you say I expect some accountant has sewn this up with Trusts and offshore Tax status.

Quite-this cash is a payment for her shares, it will not come to the club as working capital. I doubt if she will use any money to increase her loans to the club, as she is a minority shareholder now. The club will still owe her the amount of her loans.

Enjoyed listening to the scousers calling for Klop's head on 606 on the way home.

It was the same as last season-many chances but just cannot score. Perhaps we must come to the conclusion that our players lack this bit of extra quality to score.

Catlin says there will be due diligence but I always thought this was done before a takeover rather than after. Is there a get out clause then?

RC signed Jordy for us originally but there have been no rumours linking him to Everton which says it all. I think he will be the one to leave.

Happy with this signing. Seems just what we need.

Fine : of high quality; excellent of great merit--source Oxford Dictionary I think that sums it up better.

Matt is fine and will improve with experience. Well done to him and good for us. He has already played quite a few games in the EPL and is an under 21 International so cannot understand the attitude of some on here.

Some of his goals were breathtaking and unbelievable. What a skilful player and I cannot recall anybody else doing what MLG did on such a regular basis.

He also used the services of our medical and physio teams to get himself back in shape.

Or Macarthy. Gazzaniga was on the bench at Brentford too.

How I miss old Balu

If he can command his box and save long distance free kicks this season, he will be fine.

He did ok for us when needed as a squad player and always gave his best and Everton will use him in the same way.Good luck Cucu.

But was also a regular for England under 21's and captain so its not only those on here who think he is the business.

And not creating enough passes through the middle or out wide to score.

That is good.

John Hollowbread was a real character.
