doddisalegend Posted 7 December, 2010 Share Posted 7 December, 2010 If thats correct with their contact at FIFA Saints could be playing in the 2018 World Cup Should make winning games at SMS easy too. The visting team can arrive on the team bus, lose and all leave in a new top of the range Merc. and if the vistors actually win you can be sure the team bus will have an accident on the way home.

Rut Posted 7 December, 2010 Share Posted 7 December, 2010 Arabs? Interesting. I was wearing a Saints shirt the other day and got chatting to this city-type bloke in a local bar. He'd had a few and swore blind to me that a consortium from up in Chicago are monitoring a lot of English football (he obviously said 'soccer' here) clubs. Since the death of ML this has included Southampton. The Liebherr Group are a well know company in the USA and his death did get the odd line or 2 in the business press. It wouldn't mean jack sh#t to me - it's not as if Saints are gonna start playing in Chicago - but having American owners would increase the interest in them over here. Bring it on I say. I'd love to see some American being interviewed as Saints owner. You lot would be going bright purple as soon as he said something like 'we need to get some more offensive plays in'.

Since the death of ML this has included Southampton. . A while ago I was in a bar in London with a mate dressed as a city type. He'd had a few. We got chatting to the girl who had been singing on stage. He told her I worked for a promoter who needed a support act just like her for a major European tour. She fell for it too.

I cannot say that American owners have covered themselves in glory so far. Their track record has varied from mediocre (Villa) to abysmal (Liverpool) when not ripping off supporters (United).

No wonder he didn't have any OSH left in stock when his kids csame over, he's cut back to 4 crates a month so he can buy us. OK I joke. It's the Qataris.
