    Well at least it's all resolved. Difficult to move on when the ownership was in doubt. I have always trusted the Liebherrs to do what is in the best interest of the club and the fact that this has taken so long reassures me that it's all good. But then I always was a happy clapper.:)

    Impossible to know where this will lead, but right now it's difficult not to be pleased and excited. And thankful for what has gone before.

    Using well practiced internet stalking techniques(also known as journalism), i think this is our new princess, Nelly.

    Goes by Nelly Gao, she's clearly rich and her insta has a recent clip of a saints match taken from the stands, good enough for me.

    We need a safe thread where sensitive souls can read totally innocuous comments about nothing in particular and be safe from even the merest hint of a contentious comment. I would be banned from posting on it of course as this comment proves.

    Well from what I have read in the media the head of the Gao family was involved in some scandal with corruption charges back in China. The Premier league were interested in him with regard the fit and proper test and I believe tried to block his buy out attempt. I'm sure a bit of quick research you would find him to be a person that divides opinion over his business practices. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Like most successful businessmen, he didn't get rich by being a soft touch.
