Biggest concern for me, isn't Puel & performances, it's an apparent malaise that has enveloped the club since around Christmas. Ms Liebherr is driving through the sale of the club (as is her right) to pretty much the first group to meet her financial demands. I believe many different sources, including ones inside the club have advised against selling to Lander Sports, but she just wants out of Saints, asap. It's left the club in limbo, with next to no plans for next season in place. Rogers is the first, but won't be the last. Wouldn't be surprised if Les Reed left, unless he's given complete power over the entire club by Lander (doubtful).
Think it could drag on past the summer as it appears clear the Premier League are not in favour of this takeover. That should send massive alarms bells ringing considering the history that football associations have in this country of waving through takeovers for crooks to then ruin clubs. Guess it's possible for Liebherr to hold out for another offer from someone else, but that in turn would probably mean little spend on the team and we all know they will sell Virgil. Tadic, Bertrand, Redmond, Cedric & Austin are looking to move also (as well as the obvious, Jay-Rod).
Everything you have said has been mentioned in some way or another by various "media" sources. Nothing new really, even if any of it is true.
So yet another unhappy summer. 'May you live in interesting times' seems to be the curse hanging over Saints at this time of the year. I thought that Rodgers had just got a new job....sad, but understandable. He has been a solid hand on the tiller, so I am worried if he was concerned about the prospective buyers. I suspect that KL tried to find the right buyers and her desire to hold onto a % of Saints suggests she still has some interest....but perhaps she has reached the end of the road. You might care about your neighbours when you first put your house on the market, but you'd sell to a street gang as time went by without a sale. I shall now assume that Katharina has gone from a Fairy Godmother to the Wicked Witch of the West.
Well, one can only hold in one's frustrations, for so long. For my own health, I have tried to avoid this forum as I will admit, it's just the equivalent of pissing into the wind. No one has to believe anything I say or anyone else says on here. But I would hope an intelligent and quizzical mind would be open to another viewpoint, because fans get absolutely nothing from the club these days.
Too many people take a different opinion as a personal attack....in the end, it is just a difference of opinion.
Well what you speak of is quite concerning, I Just hope this does not lead to a ripple attack so to speak.
You do know that the security agencies have great search facilities, don't you CBK.? First they search they search your words and opinions on the net. Then they search your back garden.
It has been a major problem, the lack of information has led to too many people making things up and this causes friction as opinionated "ITK's" get into heated arguments over things they have no actual knowledge about.
My back garden could do with double digging. Perhaps I should start a rumour that I have buried the very lovely Mrs Godders there. People will believe it as well as she has gone to see her sister for a couple of days.
