Kingsbridge Saint Posted 18 May, 2013 Posted 18 May, 2013 Great stuff. Love the 'ambitious plans' stuff. Sure we'll do it the right way too.
DG Posted 18 May, 2013 Posted 18 May, 2013 Great this was sorted quickly, looking forward to a decent preaseason now.
Dalek2003 Posted 18 May, 2013 Posted 18 May, 2013 I'm off to the pompey site, to let them know the good news ! LOL
beatlesaint Posted 18 May, 2013 Posted 18 May, 2013 and breathe...... perhaps the panic can be confined to the style of the new kit for a few weeks now !
Saint137 Posted 18 May, 2013 Posted 18 May, 2013 Simple, Katharina rides horses. He made her an offer she couldn't refuse
Raging Bull Posted 18 May, 2013 Posted 18 May, 2013 Let's celebrate with a pitch invasion Dressed in pig masks
Gingeletiss Posted 18 May, 2013 Posted 18 May, 2013 Never really a panic, only by those having knee jerk reactions based on very little fact. Hell! one even posted a picture of a 'humble' pie, for all us 'happy clappers' to indulge in, no doubt he has scoffed the lot, but don't hold you breath, that he will be on to say how wrong he was, the tiresome bore.
Saintjersey Posted 18 May, 2013 Posted 18 May, 2013 Fantastic news, so glad this didn't drag on over the summer.
Dalek2003 Posted 18 May, 2013 Posted 18 May, 2013 Dressed in pig masks No. That would not go down well and is in bad taste. Hope you are joking ! Lets show our appreciation with a bit of class !

Dalek2003 Posted 18 May, 2013 Posted 18 May, 2013 and breathe...... perhaps the panic can be confined to the style of the new kit for a few weeks now ! Yep, always something to 'worry' about ! Must be cold in the blue zone ?
Charlie Wayman Posted 18 May, 2013 Posted 18 May, 2013 Great news but I wish he had acknowledged the unwavering support of fans during this whole debacle. Come on Nicola we are a huge part of "all one united" in our endeavours as well as "everyone at the club". When it mattered we, the fans, were with you all the way.
stthrobber Posted 18 May, 2013 Posted 18 May, 2013 It is good news. I didn't ever think he was in danger of leaving, but IMO the statement on the club's site is very carefully worded. Makes me think Il Duce has to tread on eggshells around Ms Leibherr, but I guess the family aren't as on side as ML was
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 18 May, 2013 Posted 18 May, 2013 I wonder if that journal feels like he's been played? Or maybe he was part of the game all along? Not looking like a long uncomfortable summer now.
Wade Garrett Posted 18 May, 2013 Posted 18 May, 2013 So something I was told yesterday, from someone who's mates with someone, who's best mates with a Saints player, turned out to be actually true! Happy days.
Georgie Posted 18 May, 2013 Posted 18 May, 2013 I wonder if that journal feels like he's been played? Or maybe he was part of the game all along? Not looking like a long uncomfortable summer now. Hmm yes it was only yesterday he said that it would be an uncomfortable summer didn't he! This is why we shouldn't take anything in the press too seriously all the time!
trousers Posted 18 May, 2013 Posted 18 May, 2013 @BenSmithBBC: A deal was struck in Zurich on Friday after a week of talks between Cortese and #saintsfc owner Katharina Liebherr. @dankiz1: @BenSmithBBC thanks Ben, appreciate top updates mate @BenSmithBBC: @dankiz1 pleasure. If I was a #SaintsFC fan I'd be very excited.

davefizzy14 Posted 18 May, 2013 Posted 18 May, 2013 Fantastic news it was never in doubt that he would stay. Exciting times ahead, in NC we trust.

Happy days. Nice one. Could you now ask them what the new kit looks like and what signings we've got lined up. Cheers!
Faz Posted 18 May, 2013 Posted 18 May, 2013 I wonder if that journal feels like he's been played? Or maybe he was part of the game all along? Not looking like a long uncomfortable summer now. Nah, everyone's a winner. The journo get his name out there, NC gets an increase in his personal rating, we get a warm fuzzy feeling.

Wes Tender Posted 18 May, 2013 Posted 18 May, 2013 Great news. A real relief after a few nail-biting days, but I was reasonably confident that it would all be resolved satisfactorily. For all those who worried that the uncertainty would affect our chances of buying the best players in the summer, the clarification of the support from Katharina Liebherr actually makes that position better than it was.
Waterside.saint Posted 18 May, 2013 Posted 18 May, 2013 Lets win tomorrow and then get on with signing some players including Luke Shaw! I fixed it for you
CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 18 May, 2013 Posted 18 May, 2013 We're long on speculation and short on facts yet again, but if I were the owner of a significant business then I'm not so sure I'd appreciate seeing an employee of mine so publicly employ 'strong arm' tactics against me. This kind of thing is not conducive to harmonious long term relationships - not that Don Cortese has ever been overly concerned about that. But at least we appear back on a even keel for now, so back to football ...

But at least we appear back on a even keel for now, so back to football ... Depends what cards Nicola had in his hand though, we still don't know if he has a trump card like " It's what your Dad wanted, here it is written on a a bit of paper"
trousers Posted 18 May, 2013 Posted 18 May, 2013 £250m over three years. That's a lot of wages for a football club chairman IMO
Waterside.saint Posted 18 May, 2013 Posted 18 May, 2013 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22579588
The Cat Posted 18 May, 2013 Posted 18 May, 2013 Lets win tomorrow and then get on with signing some players and Luke Shaw! Don't worry about Shaw, that's sorted.
Gingeletiss Posted 18 May, 2013 Posted 18 May, 2013 He pulled a Wayne Rooney. HA ha ha, still trolling, still no knowledge of what occurred, you know nothing Mr Bore, but don't let that stop you adding to your post count with more dross!

Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 18 May, 2013 Posted 18 May, 2013 Well of course he is. Don't think too many people thought he'd actually leave did they?
andysstuff Posted 18 May, 2013 Posted 18 May, 2013 Great news. Made for one interesting week on here if nothing else.
Patrick Bateman Posted 18 May, 2013 Posted 18 May, 2013 Like it was ever in any doubt. Well it gave the utter helmets something to be concerned about for 5 seconds other than relegation!
Wes Tender Posted 18 May, 2013 Posted 18 May, 2013 He pulled a Wayne Rooney. I expect that you'll be relieved that you won't have to be so imaginative for a while when it comes to conjecture about power game politics at the club, subtle nuances in everything suggested by journos and rumours put about by friends of the club's cleaner's next door neighbour.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 18 May, 2013 Posted 18 May, 2013 Great news, but of course there was never as much drama involved as some on here would like us to believe.
Wade Garrett Posted 18 May, 2013 Posted 18 May, 2013 Nice one. Could you now ask them what the new kit looks like and what signings we've got lined up. Cheers! I'm going to quit while I'm ahead.
Wes Tender Posted 18 May, 2013 Posted 18 May, 2013 Now we just need a new loyal manager Our manager is loyal; to Cortese.
Olallana Posted 18 May, 2013 Posted 18 May, 2013 Now we just need a new loyal manager Sorry m8 but I have to....
