    Pretty sure that's not what I said but if that's what you want to take from it then that's up to you.

    Ah, but that's a ref's interpretation of what you said, therefore is correct.
    What you need is a VAR decision... :bandit:

    And then a panel of pundits on 'Thread of The Day' will explain why the decision could have gone either way, and this sort of thing would have been OK in their day...

    The super yacht Dilbar has arrived in Southampton docks.
    What’s this got to do with Saints?
    Probably nothing, but unless the yacht has changed hands, it belongs to Alisher Usmanov, former shareholder at Arsenal.
    As I say, just speculating and I have absolutely no inside knowledge, but could he be interested in taking over the club?
    With the stories being out there that we are up for sale, I was actually surprised that Ralph signed a new 4 year contract, in what could be a difficult time, financially, for the club. Maybe he knows something we don’t. :emoticon-0105-wink:
    Only speculating so be gentle with me.

    Usmanov is involved with Moshiri at Everton isn't he?

    The yacht alone is valued at between $800 million and $1 billion, so he’s not short of loose change to buy a football club.

    Something to do with naming rights of their training ground.

    Just to fan the rumour flames, I saw Alex McCarthy & Francis Benali follow Warren Buffett on twitter a few weeks back. Probably a simple explanation for it but he is a billionaire so it got me excited for 2 minutes. If there was anything in it, im sure someone would have picked up on it though.

    To quote Shane Long.
    "I love the way the club is run, I love what the club stands for and I’m excited about what the club will do over thenext couple of years"

    So there must be something happening with the sale of the club?

    I believe Moshiri uses Usmanov’s money to fund Everton, maybe he has another front man to run us? Hopefully

    .... yep, those paper ones with the wax lining that can’t be recycled and melt the ice poles whilst being produced and transported. :emoticon-0105-wink:


    Anyway...

    Would be amazing if someone did that.... someone half decent as a person. Just do it as Newcastle do their deal. My mate is a Toon fan. I’d love that.

    I like clutching at straws, and as you say, it’s just a bit of fun. We can’t expect another billionaire to come along and save our backside, like Markus. :angel:
