Since Dutch boss Portiflit took charge, it has brought a new dawn to Southampton, and the club has turned the tide all the way, and now it is expected to return to the Premier League, and the two club executives who were once-for-tat are also freeing up their suspicions, and the club is completely twisted into a rope.

For all of the above, Santhiago and Isabella are aware, originally in their opinion, even if Southampton is financially tight, as long as they return to the Premier League, then the huge broadcast share is enough to bring the Saints back to life, but now Isabella's latest news is not like this.

Southampton won't be able to survive the next half season, although Louwe knows the priority is to find a stable investor for the club, rather than using the team as a short-term fortune tool like previous investors. The impact of the financial downturn is evident, with Gareth Bale's transfer being a prime example.

North London side Tottenham Hotspur are looking to bring the young, talented Welshman to White Hart Lane, and when the transfer deal was signed, fans were hoping for a buy-back clause or a revenue share for the next transfer, but Lowe did not sign these terms that would surely benefit him in the future, in order to get an additional £3 million in cash for Tottenham on top of the $5 million transfer fee.

Tottenham's young goalkeeper Tommy Focaster also moved to Southampton as a bargaining chip as part of the deal, but his performances at St Mary's were not recognised by the fans. Fans booed the ball every time he got the ball in protest against the decision of the club's hierarchy to look only at their immediate interests in what was a terrible transfer.

Fans don't know that Luvi's move is already in a death throes, and after selling Bale, he took out the final money in this winter window to buy two strong stars to help the team surpass, hoping that this move will bring the dead back to life, looking around the world football, Santhiago is undoubtedly a very ideal choice. But just as he wanted to give it a go, Southampton's death knell suddenly sounded.

Three days earlier, on January 3, Southampton's parent company, PLC Group, had its finances suddenly collapsed and was forced to put its finances under control.

The sudden collapse of the PLC group made Southampton unsustainable for a while, and more importantly, in this case, although the chairman Louvy has produced enough evidence to explain to the Premier League that Southampton is still likely to operate, how can the Premier League allow such a financially corrupt club to continue to play?

After many negotiations, the Premier League finally made a final ruling yesterday afternoon, Southampton FC made a penalty of deducting 10 points due to the bankruptcy of the parent company, financial erosion and other reasons, and did not allow it to be promoted to the higher leagues until the financial health was restored.

There is no doubt that the Premier League's punishment is fair, and as a community of interests, no one wants the bankrupt Southampton to be promoted to the thriving Premier League with a broken attitude, which has a multifaceted impact on the league's image. More importantly, such penalties are the case in various leagues, and even more severe in other leagues.

But it is not an exaggeration to say that such a punishment is a fatal sentence for Southampton, considering that the players at this moment have just reached the top of the Championship under the new manager and regained their hopes of promotion, but the sudden bad news has wiped it all out.

The bankruptcy of the parent company meant that Southampton had to find a new owner who would not only meet the needs of fans and clubs such as strength and reliability, but also be able to pass the scrutiny of the official Football Association. Coupled with the specific matters of mergers and acquisitions, in-depth discussions on capital restructuring, financial improvement, and team building, it will take at least four months to get everything back done!

It's still an ideal situation where everything goes well!

In other words, it will be at least four months before Southampton can get the chance to be promoted to the Premier League again, and by then the daylily will be cold! At the end of the season, it is difficult to say whether Southampton will be able to retain their Championship qualification after being penalized by 10 points and their morale has suffered a devastating blow! What's more, even if they succeed in relegation, how many players are willing to stay here and wait for an uncertain tomorrow?

At least Santiago is unwilling!

In the face of the helpless transfer, Santi and Isabella were helpless and moved at the same time, fortunately, the bankruptcy time of Southampton's parent company could be before Santi finally signed the transfer contract, otherwise everything would be a foregone conclusion!

Looking at the continued attention of the outside media and public opinion on the Southampton bankruptcy incident, the hard-working Santi and the two can only turn their heads to face the reality in front of them, the previous choices and negotiations have consumed too many events, and now Santi has only two options left, either to stay in Boca for a season, or to go to Lazio and other three other clubs that threw olive branches to him.

Buenos Aires, Santi's home, Boca district.

Sitting oppositely, the stunned Santhiago and Isabella looked at the various documents on the table, falling into helpless melancholy, Santi did not want to go to Lazio and Sampdoria, as for the only option after excluding the two, the yellow submarine Villarreal Club of La Liga, in fact, Santiago is rejected in the bottom of his heart.

The reason is very simple, Villarreal took the path of South American players at the beginning, and most of the big guys in the Boca team today are the core players of the South American submarine back then, the most important of which is Riquelme. Although the South American La Liga club was a great success in the short term, the end result was very disappointing, so Santiago was reluctant to follow the path of their predecessors.

He wants to create something of his own, rather than to pick up the leftovers of his predecessors, and he would rather carry the fingers of thousands of people than suffer the shadow of his predecessors, even if this person is his current big brother and best friend Riquelme.

Isabella more or less understands Stanti's idea, but she didn't say it, but carefully maintained this tacit understanding between the two, maybe this is a little tsundere of St. Tiago, but who can say that this is not the driving force that pushes Stanti forward?

So, after a long silence, Isabella got up and thought about other options for Santi again.
