🌩 Bazza shouts at a cloud shaped like Chairman Gao

[Simon-says]

AND we have more points than we did last season. I’m no maths whizz but it sure looks like something resembling improvement to me.

3rd option - everything

Another thread to mute.

[Barry-Sanchez]

Thanks for coming to my thread for that…

@Barry-Sanchez

The squad hasn’t, we signed Hassenhutl who is brilliant, if he goes we’re screwed, will he stay if he doesn’t get the backing?
Its a sell to buy policy which means we have to sell quite obviously our worst players and retain our best ones, after the West Ham game who do you think they’ll be buying?

We can all safely ignore this.

Your track record of predictions is appaling.

Bazza shouts at a cloud shaped like Chairman Gao

I fought the bore and the bore won Right, I predict that over the summer we might need a place for Bazza (and perhaps others) to shout about Gao, the club, and everything for that matter. So I thought I’d set out the case for the defence (despite the fact that I have concerns and reservations myself). So here it is. What I really love about watching your reactions over the last several shit years in the wilderness is just how you are never satisfied, @Barry-Sanchez. Oh, and just how fucking …

You are the very opposite of someone with their finger on the pulse.

You are either the boy who cried “Wolf!”, Chicken Little or perhaps you really are Cassandra.

Is the wolf coming?

Is the sky falling in?

Or do you look like this, IRL?

It’s close, but it’s not him. I have it on very good authority* that Baz’ private number plate is GA 04 BAZ. It’s the correct car and colour combination though - quite a coincidence, that.

*I made it up.

[scotty]

I’m not mocking Baz’s schoolgirl choice of a pink Nissan Micra convertible. What appalled me is that I spotted it in Eastleigh

[Fowllyd]

Schoolboy error on my part there. That’s Bletch’s car.

[Barry-Sanchez]

I drive a Ford CMax and a Landrover when I’m lucky and both have bellend on the back.

That’s the one.

An ‘interesting’ read…

Will paste snippets when I can.

Something strange with the FT link.

It is behind a paywall for normal browsers but on my mobile, if I swipe left from the home screen and go into the Google app and follow a link to the story, I am able to read all of the story.

Let’s see if this works…

[Rust-Cohle]

You failed to include 'fuck Barry Sanchez and the negative ship he sailed in on"

Obviously Mr Gao reads sotonians.

[saintbletch]

Summary.

• Gao gave an interview in China.
• We are not a pig to be fattened and sold.
• He has no intention of spending huge sums.
• Gao is now our father and is putting us on the right track but we (the club) need to be able to feed ourselves.
• New shirt sponsorship doubles our previous £4.8m deal.
• On LD Sports and the fact that they aren’t trading yet “All companies have their own style. Asians tend to be low-key.”
• We are owned by Lander Sports Investment in Hong Kong via a company registered in the British Virgin Islands that Gao says is 100% owned by him.
• On his other businesses’ recent losses he says there were “no problems”.
• We could spend more on players this summer than we receive from transfers out and defence is the priority
• Profits last year £28.6m
• “The club’s financial situation this year is good and doesn’t require more investment”

[Saint-or-sinner]

I’m reading that as Ralph has £28.6m+£10m from Liverpool+whatever we get from selling, so hopefully£50-£60m.
The club is going to make loads of money in China.
No one tells him what to do.
What’s not to like

[Goatboy]

You look a bit dehydrated to me bletch.

[Barry-Sanchez]

The prick is here to sell what he can not invest, what are his aspirations with the club? Where does he want to take us?

Nowhere, the prick just wants the TV money on the cheap.

[Saint-or-sinner]

@Barry-Sanchez

what are his aspirations with the club?

To be a father figure and open up the Chinese market to us.

@Barry-Sanchez

Where does he want to take us?

Given the above, i’m guessing China.
