Bewildered

Wasn't that Charles Sale?

Why was Cortese trying to sell a popular player like Rickie days before he walked out on the club? Wonder who would have been taking the flak for that if it had gone through in time.

An odd thing to do unless there is something KL wants to make its way into the media.

Some things will remain the same then.

Yep, they signed for Southampton FC not Club Cortese. If they have an issue with that they can take a walk.

Stan Collymore ‏@StanCollymore 1m Nicola Cortese rumoured to be leaving Saints imminently and is trying to persuade Pochettino not to follow. Don't know how much Collymore really knows much about the situation, still more speculation

No, just speculation at the moment.

True.

Very odd as we did not sell De Ridder, the club agreed to cancel his contract so he could move to Utrecht. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/de-ridder-departs-959633.aspx

Sounds like he was allowed to run around acting like he owned the place for so long that he started to believe it.

Yeah and the "guy" who actively runs the Dalian Wanda Group is the richest man in China.
