pangy Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 The club really need to come and release a statement asap
trousers Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11700/9117086/sky-sources-nicola-cortese-hands-in-resignation-at-southampton Quote Sky Sports News understands Southampton's executive chairman Nicola Cortese has handed in his written resignation. If Cortese's departure is confirmed, Saints boss Mauricio Pochettino's future could be in serious doubt. Sources have however told us Cortese is not in discussion with another club in Italy, despite several media reports.
Dr Who? Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 The club will not let him go and they will kiss and make up..... and on we go!

Red and White Army Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 This forum would be far better without the ****tery from alpine. Why is he permitted to exist?

Dellman Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Alpine goes on about money wasted, but has the value of the club doubled, trebled or quadrupled? I wouldn't mind an investment like that!
Saint Charlie Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 pangy said: The club really need to come and release a statement asap Why, what would they be expected to say? At least now it looks like the situation is moving, what happens will happen probably in the next 2 days and then statements will be made.
martel Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Instant Classic said: ********. That'll be MP gone as well then. On top of that how may transfer requests could be handed in? Not good, in fact very bad day for Saints.
SaintRichmond Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Trader said: Quite - I can't think of any time in English football when the chairman leaving a club prompted a mass exodus (manager, practically every player, tea lady etc etc) as envisaged by some on here. Indeed, at a lot of Premier League clubs I struggle to think who the chairman (or CEO if you prefer) actually is - it's usually a relatively low profile position. Remember, we're not talking about the owner here. Exactly, we are not talking about the owner. We are talking about a VERY unique individual NICOLA CORTESE To simply say "he would be missed" is the biggest understatement in the world IMHO
notnowcato Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 FFS stop wasting your cash on MP being the next manager to leave.
Smirking_Saint Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Hmm Whilst Im sure we will come out of it and survive Id say the future could be very different for us. Cortese, as pig ignorant as he is seems to be the lynchpin of our journey and future. Hopefully this is all a game, but its a very dangerous one

bpsaint Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Yesterday it was just a story that AC Milan wanted him at the end of the season and now suddenly he's meant to have handed in his resignation due to issues with KL! How the hell did that happen?!

Yes it'd be a big loss, and yes there's a chance a couple of people will be unsure about their future. But the core of the club is still the same. No reason the manager and players can't continue their ambitions without Cortese. I'm gonna stick my neck out and say that I don't think Cortese will leave.

JoeShmoe Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Glasgow_Saint said: Why? KL will find another suit to free spend her money.... Give any Chairman a bottomless pit of cash and he will make changes and be deemed a success - ask him to work within a budget and you will get to see how "successful" they really are. Nicola has proved he can be a success when the going is good (who couldn’t!) he has also shown me that he has no stomach for the fight and clearly doesn’t rise to a challenge. Dear oh dear Just like the post match threads the usual suspects don't have a clue

Dr Who? Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 I think it is all for show, I am not sure why, but just have a feeling that he is going to stay and this is NC playing the media again, just to resolve the issues with the owners. I do think the owners will want out soon though.

Saint Charlie Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 I am told that Cortese might leave Southampton perhaps and it could be soon or not. #SaintsFC

John B Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Having a rich owner of SFC does have its draw backs especially one not interested in football with no vision and not running the club NC lets face it is just an employee and probably wants more control and more salary. Unfortunate Situation for all concerned
