And while they are aware that their purchase has to do with Hajduk, the daily says, they admit to being ignorant when it comes to football. "It's true, the mother superior told us we have become Hajduk's shareholders, but I know nothing about it. Our lawyer who conducted the transaction knows everything, and he told us that all we have to do now is pray that our Hajduk is winning," sister Anselma of the Sv. Marija monastery was quoted as saying. A nun is pictured along a Hajduk jersey (Vecernji List)
