🇨🇳 The Chinese Are Coming

Agreed, so why retain the 20%?

It would give her no representation - unless voting stock is different.

It will limit the number of potential buyers - they would need to be willing to be co-owners instead of full ownes.

It also doesn’t seem to provide any protection for Marcus’s legacy.

Things work differently there.

Wanna play the stock market?

Just back the companies the government backs.

She wants a voice beltch! She wants to sit on board and watch them like hawk! If new owners was to decide i.e. to rename a stand “The Saints Is Gay Stand” she wants to have earliest notice + opportunity to sabotage from within! She is Looking Out For All Of Us!

Dumb Bear.

She’s just going to get voted down on every contentious decision.

Starting with Item #1 on the first agenda for post-Liebherr board meeting #1 - Move to remove free Cadburys Whole Nut from the directors’ box.

She’ll be a beaten woman by halftime.

Wasn’t Dalian Wanda something to do with Cortese or Sunseeker or something?

Anyway China & real estate. Can I make a point any better than this article? And now say bullet dodged?

That is not my experience srs. Say like i.e. when ur seeing a bird, and she wants to start keeping some stuff round ur place, so you give up 20% of ur wardrobe space. Is that where it ends? Is it fuck. Before you know it ur keeping ur shirts in a cardboard box under the bed.

Perhaps time for a 180 and keep an eye to the west suggests a dripping tap.

OK anyone able to hack US Immigration records?

To prove a possible rumour?

That Ralph & Kat have flown there today?

The other equally unbelievable one is that NC is having a fit as he approached Ralph & Kat said he is not allowed to talk to him.

On rumour scale I’d say these were a 3 out of 10 and are pinch of salts, but it does indicate that all is not quiet

Sorry Phil, who is NC and who can’t he talk to?

I think he means that Nic Cortese approached Ralph (maybe with some scheme/buy out package) but Kat said taht NC is not allowed to speak to ralph… that was my take.

I did wonder about the Italian Dwarf but then thought that the Barkley rumour sounded more plausible! :lou_wink:

Statement from Kat

A letter to the fans of Southampton Football Club from Katharina Liebherr…

I am pleased to confirm that talks to bring in a new partner to our club have been concluded.

Following extensive and fruitful work, we are entering into a partnership with the Gao family and I am excited about what we will achieve together.

Today is the start of a new and exciting chapter for our club. Mr Jisheng Gao and his daughter, Mrs Nelly Gao, with whom I have built a close relationship, share our values and ambitions. As a team, we will strive to build upon the strong foundation that is in place towards sustainable long-term success.

Mr Gao, Nelly and I have full trust in Ralph Krueger and his management team. We wholeheartedly support their plans to follow the Southampton Way in the years ahead.

But for now it is business as usual at Southampton Football Club and we must allow everyone at the club to focus on the first few weeks of the new season.

I would like to thank the passionate supporters of the club for their ongoing loyalty and faith, and I look forward to seeing you soon at St Mary’s.

We March On.

Katharina Liebherr

Statement from Mr Jisheng Gao

I am honoured and humbled to become a partner of Southampton Football Club alongside Katharina Liebherr, who, together with her father, has been such a great steward of the club, its growth and success.

Together, we have the passion and motivation to build on Southampton’s excellent progress in recent years as we look forward to an exciting next chapter for the club.
