caulkin saying talks with this german consortium at an early stage, club priced at £110m which is the most surprising part (unless it includes some of the debt i guess)

 

Didn't Southampton cost £180M?

Consortium's very rarely have much cash and see it as a business opportunity only. Depends if any of them have experience running a football club, generally those who don't struggle and they are in a shit state already.

They were hemorrhaging money at a ridiculous rate when they were on the gravy train of the richest league on the planet and Short has had to bail them out with over £100m of his own money just to keep them going.

 

The have a stadium which is now 20 years old and was built very cheaply (£15m iirc) and is now needing quite a bit of money spent on it and a playing squad worth very little, but costing them a fortune in salaries.

 

To compound that, they have a supporter base that refuses to pay for tickets and as a result they generally make a loss on home cup fixtures as very few people turn up to these games as they have to charge a nominal amount for entry due to the receipts being shared.

 

Anyone paying more than the £1 Bob Murray sold it to Drumaville for really needs their head examining.

I pay for my tickets. I'm not saying there aren't a load of free tickets slung about, but 'refuse to pay' ?

 

Complete bullshit

Short knows that without the ridiclous amount of free tickets you would be an even bigger laughing stock than you are now

 

You obviously do have a large section of your fanbase refusing to pay for tickets or you wouldnt have to give so many away
