They clearly aren't following takeover rumours etiquette here. The report of "Players have been told" needs to come from one of their obscure reserve strikers of yesteryear on Twitter.

Heard that Slobodan Milosevic was a bit of a wrong'un. He was Serbian so clearly is directly responsible for them despite being dead for 14 years Edited January 4, 2022 by gjohnson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantail Breeze Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Southampton’s takeover has just been completed within 24 hours of it being announced. Weird that Obviously no piracy issues on Serbian cable TV. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I'm surprised Ashley wasn't all over that. £100m seems cheap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Will the new Southampton owners have ambitions to take the club into the top 10 and push for Europe? Better inform the top 6 and see if they're happy for it to progress then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robster Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Don't know if @Cragie is still checking in on here but it'd be good to hear what the local craic is in Southampton with regards to their takeover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommo Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Fair play to these guys so far. They have taken a lot of flack from the media and some sections of our support for delays, apparently not knowing what they're doing etc etc. 5 days into the transfer window and we're about to sign Kieran Trippier. I still can't believe how much better the whole club and atmosphere around everything NUFC is Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Sounds like they’ve been working the Trippier deal for quite some time too. Really good planning and execution there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Never doubted for a minute that the Saudis would do anything other than compete for the best, and will ultimately want the title. It will be another couple of seasons before we can challenge the top 6 for the biggest signings, but it will come one way or another. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjohnson Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 If Trippier's the start and we survive this season it could be a lot quicker than we all hoped. They've managed to convince one of the best fullbacks around to join a relegation threatened team. If that level of ambition sticks there's no reason why we couldn't be semi-challenging by 2024 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is pretty impressive. They've got Nick Hammond in now as well to deal with the negotiations, there were plenty moaning about that as well, but it was needed if only on a short term basis. When you think just a month or so past we had only Charnley doing everything (after consulting Llambias first probably) then things have moved on quite nicely.
