A fair bit but the club is not dependent on his money , i am sure you are aware of that so why the pointless post or is there a point to it i dont see , .....................EYG

I think the board and other owners were concerned enough about his intentions to ask him to clarify them.
Any body/company with significant involvement from Russians would/should be 'concerned' about what might happen in the event of heightened sanctions.
While I agree that Usmanov's currently an 'investor' rather than an active 'owner', if almost a third of Arsenal's assets including cash were frozen (for example), it's certainly going to have some sort of effect! So, pointless...not imo! But you seem unconcerned, so that's fine!
Anyway, back to Southampton!.....
Chairmen has come out and ruled out any further sales. First time he's done that so will be interesting to see if true?

Did he not rule out the sale of Lovren ?
No, said no player would be sold against our wishes. Hasn't so far guaranteed no more sales irrespective of player stance of offers made. Time will tell.

Scneiderlin now throwing his toys out the pram via twitter. About time we stood up to a few of these billy big b*****ks players. they signed a contract, they should damn well honour it. Sadly it won't happen and he will be sold along with Rodriguez, Clyne, and possibly Ward Prowse. I wouldn't believe a single word that ice hockey fool says, he's a smarmy lying toad.
Prowse can go he's Pompey anyways. The rest I'd be disappointed with.
I think there will be more heartache for Saints fans. More will no doubt go

We will see. What is for sure is that after usa hockey guys comments today, if/when those two go his position will become pretty much untenable.

Allegedly a transfer request today from Schneiderlin (sp?)
Yeah, niw it gets interesting. End of August is quite a long way away to hang it out.

Already been denied by the journo who first broke it. Morgan trained as normal this morning. Think there's a bit of dirty work going on behind the scenes (Levy, Pochettino...)

Also had to laugh at the Welsh journalist who reported a 'training ground bust up' just before 10am this morning. Given that the players don't arrive until at least 10:30 it must have been one hell of a punch up! Maybe the ground staff were arguing over who's turn it was on the sit on mower...
SSN seem certain and it's their lead story

Ryan Bertrand signed on a season long loan. Seems sensible given Targett is coming on leaps and bounds but not quite ready for a full prem season. Hopefully a few more to follow!

Seems they are looking at a few loan players, I wonder why ?

Well probably because we have a left back called taggert who was touted to be a star long before Luke shaw so need to spend out on one........
of course that's the optimist in me.

and the pessimist in you ?
At least you have brought the odd player in. We haven't made one signing and no chance of doing so until we get a new owner. Le Fondre sold, and quite a few decent players released. Could be heading for the ten point deduction.
