Apparently nobody wants to buy the club for anything near the asking price, so the conspiracy theory is that Liebherr is selling off players to make up the shortfall and pay for their new training ground, investing just enough to keep them up.

Good news and bad news for Southampton with them signing Bertrand on loan.
Good news that they got a new player in a position where they obviously need strengthening. And good news to get a fairly proven PL player with some experience in that can probably fit in well and perform at a reasonable standard fairly quickly.
Really bad, borderline horrendous, news that he was signed on a loan deal imo. Bertrand is quite clearly done at Chelsea, I really don't think he would have thought himself above a permanent move to Southampton and I really think a somewhat reasonable permanent deal could have been made with Chelsea. Points massively towards the owner (helped by the chairman/footballing people) isn't looking to invest any more of the incoming money than absolutely necessary and that the asset stripping tag is warranted.

If that's what they're doing then that's obviously fine.
Given the circumstances I think it's at least somewhat likely it's an attempt to save money.
Where do I put my vote for "I hope someone is asset stripping Mos Eisley FC, they're a horrible little club and them ceasing to exist would be quite enjoyable"?
