Saint J 77 Posted 17 May, 2013 Share Posted 17 May, 2013 Lets look on the bright side of this. IF the worse case scenario does come to pass and we are left without a chairman, the manager leaves, the players want out and our backing from the family goes. At least it happened now while we are a premier league team and not two seasons ago when we were in league one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Charlie Posted 17 May, 2013 Share Posted 17 May, 2013 If they do stay, I guess there will be some sort of announcement. That would be well received by the fans, and there would be even more of a feel good factor about the club than there was before this came out. I really hope they do stay, clearly we are building something good and haven't reached the ceiling yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passing it on, make up your own minds. Such a strange situation, NC at the awards telling people he's staying, journalist at the press conference said people at the club were generally not too alarmed by it all, probably be resolved next week etc and yet NC appears to have turned The Times' football section into his own campaigning tool to stay. Heard Tony Evans on the radio this morning talking up Cortese big time implying it will take all summer to sort out, uncomfortable summer for club and that the club will wither and die if he goes.

That's just turning the club into a money pit for one man's ego. one man's ego, i reckon there is easily 32,000 others who'd get a bit of an ego boost too, myself included.

musesaint Posted 17 May, 2013 Share Posted 17 May, 2013 I can't begin to contemplate NC going. He's controversial at times but he's 100% behind the vision and doesn't hestitate to act ruthlessly if he believes it's in the club's best interests I also think it's interesting that, after the criticism he received earlier in the season, we still currently have a 94% vote in his favour. Some doubt his style - but it appears that virtually everyone still backs him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stknowle Posted 17 May, 2013 Share Posted 17 May, 2013 IF IF IF. IF Adkins had stuck with Boruc I'm pretty certain we'd have about 6-8 more points as the team (bar the keeper) had settled and was playing decent football by November/December but still gifting goals to the opposition. Pretty sure as well Gaston has goals and assists that have directly gained us valuable points, not to mention a lot his build up play has played a role in some important wins. FACT is we have stayed up thus our transfers have done what was required of them. If my auntie had ****** she'd be my uncle. Fact is she hasn't and my uncle is dead anyway.

saints_is_the_south Posted 17 May, 2013 Share Posted 17 May, 2013 It would be just like Saints and Cortese, for some sort of announcement to appear on the OS about 11pm tonight confirming he's staying. Another chance to show off a nice shiny watch too, and would whip the fans into a positive frenzy ahead of Sunday. Part of me wonders if all this was all a media ploy by NC to make it known how popular he is within the club, what with MP, MS and TP all coming out and singing his praises to high heaven.

CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 17 May, 2013 Share Posted 17 May, 2013 Or may be the family didn't understand his obsession with an English football club and think they have better things to spend the money on. Although undoubtedly they loved and respected Marcus at the end of the day he is gone and it is their money. You're pretty close to the heart of the matter here methinks. It makes no sense that ML's family should plow limitless amounts of cash into a foreign football club they know - or care - little about just so they can 'honour' their late fathers dream, or fund the grandiose ambitions of a mere employee. I'm far from convinced they have the level of uncommitted wealth required to do that anyway. I have a feeling that this business will be amicably sorted out soon. But if it rumbles on for much longer there can be only one winner here - and it's not Cortese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latheal Posted 17 May, 2013 Share Posted 17 May, 2013 Isn't this just about the Owners wanting more of a say and Cortese not having the final word on everything? If that's the case, it's not really a bad thing. Look how much they've put in already without a penny in return in return up to this point. They've been probably the best owners we could ever have wished for. Equally, Cortese has done a great job up till now. If he's willing to walk away because they want more say in a business they have basically funded then he would surely be off his head. I could understand if they were going to drastically cut funding but that doesn't appear to be the case. This doesn't seem to be about money, it appears to be about control. Hope they get to a conclusion soon and can't see Cortese letting it rumble on too long whatever he decides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously I dont want Southampton Football club to implode. As fun as League one turned out to be, I don't want Saints back in it! And I am not saying we will! But IF this current situation does spiral out of control at least we have a little more time to stop the rot before we end up like our fishy neighbours. My point was merely, If this had happen two years ago straight after Markus Liebherr's death we could now be a lot worse off. I was just trying to look on the bright side.
