itchen_dan Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Joe_Batchelor: Poch and staff have left. Asked Poch if he is still manager...got no answer. One thing for sure...they didn't look happy. ciersteele: Pochettino and his staff literally drove off, almost ran me over. Very reluctant to comment. #saintsfc WhitemoreC: When signalling for a thumbs up just straight faces were given #saintsfc
Bewildered Posted 15 January, 2014 Author Posted 15 January, 2014 If they want to leave because a chairman leaves then they're welcome to f#ck off. Yep, they signed for Southampton FC not Club Cortese. If they have an issue with that they can take a walk.
Saint Charlie Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Poch will clearly go. Imagine some bids will come in next week for some of our players too.
Georgie Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 @Joe_Batchelor: Poch and staff have left. Asked Poch if he is still manager...got no answer. One thing for sure...they didn't look happy. What do they want - them to come skipping and dancing out of St Marys?!
trousers Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Am I the only one a tinsy wincy bit excited by this? (alongside a dash of concern of course). I've got the same mixed feelings now that I had when Adkins was sacked.
itchen_dan Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 To be honest should it really have got to the point where the manager and players are only loyal to the chairman?! This is of course if Poch and players leave on the back of this. Same as i've been saying all day. It should've never had got this far.
Jai27 Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Les Reed's red & white army? Are Reed and Cortese not very close? Would he also leave?
James Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 If MP and some of our supposedly 'loyal' players leave after this I will be extremely angry. We showed them support and if they leave they will be deserting the fans. As others have said, they signed for Southampton F.C not Nicola Cortese F.C
trousers Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Guy who has been at Staplewood and St Mary's WhitemoreC: I've got some very bad news WhitemoreC: Pochettino and staff have just all left St Mary's when asked a "are you still the manager of Southampton football club" all didn't comment Doesn't he realise Pochettino doesn't understand a word of English...?
Dig Dig Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 If they want to leave because a chairman leaves then they're welcome to f#ck off. And they will

itchen_dan Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 WhitemoreC: Cortese has now left very quickly #saintsfc
Georgie Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Yep, they signed for Southampton FC not Club Cortese. If they have an issue with that they can take a walk. Which is why I said should it really have got to the point where the players and manager are only loyal to the chairman? Lets wait and see if anyone follows Cortese out the door.
Ohio Saint Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Am I the only one a tinsy wincy bit excited by this? (alongside a dash of concern of course). I've got the same mixed feelings now that I had when Adkins was sacked. It's a day that was always coming. Just sooner than I had hoped. Whatever is going on, it is not necessarily bad.

I've got the same mixed feelings now that I had when Adkins was sacked. When all is said and done, football is a form of entertainment. No one can say following Saints is dull...
doubleonothing Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 @Joe_Batchelor: To recap, as was all a bit rushed...not sure Poch heard me fully or understood me. Don't read anything into it.

SuperSAINT Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Poch will clearly go. Imagine some bids will come in next week for some of our players too. Not worried about losing our players at the moment - No-one will be there to pick the phone up
Griffo Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 No one's bigger than the club. If anyone, Pochettino included, is here just for the chairman then they can f*ck off because they're here for the wrong reasons.
James Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 WhitemoreC: Cortese has now left very quickly #saintsfc Excellent update from our stellar gang of on the ball twitter journos. Seriously, I hope this is resolved soon just to stop these utterly moronic updates with wild inferences drawn from absolutely no fact whatsoever.
Georgie Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Well some were saying this season was a bit boring. This made it less boring now?!
Hayling Saint Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2540096/Nicola-Cortese-pleading-Mauricio-Pochettino-not-follow-Southampton.html

Dr Who? Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Arry and Jim? Hoddle? The choices are endless....... Stuart is doing well at Wednesday!
Patrick Bateman Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Who are these utter helmets at the training ground asking Pochettino whether he's still the manager? 1. Yes he is 2. They'll have been told to say nothing 3. They probably know no more than we do in reality 4. FFS
skintsaint Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 so he resigned months ago...wouldn't MP have left already then?
Baird of the land Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Was desperately hoping it was mind games from cortèse. I'd prefer potchettino to go if he isn't committed long-term. Very worried that talent such as lallana, shaw etc will be flogged to the highest bidder now.
Colinjb Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Well, at least this gives us a chance to see whether the theory that Leibherr ownership is more important then Cortese's leadership holds any weight.
Solid Saint Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 If they want to leave because a chairman leaves then they're welcome to f#ck off. Plenty of truth in that.
James Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 @Joe_Batchelor: To recap, as was all a bit rushed...not sure Poch heard me fully or understood me. Don't read anything into it. I rest my case, why post it if its not to be read into? Other twitter updaters clearly just copied this guy...
JoeShmoe Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Can try and see a positive but this is a dark day if Poch goes
Dig Dig Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 so he resigned months ago...wouldn't MP have left already then? Seems the first they heard of it is today
The Kraken Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Poch will clearly go. Imagine some bids will come in next week for some of our players too. Will he? Why?? And where will he go?
trousers Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 You were excited to get MP and now excited that he's leaving? Strange The dose of 'excitement' comes from not knowing what is ahead coupled with the hope that it won't necessarily be bad
Dr Who? Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Excellent update from our stellar gang of on the ball twitter journos. Seriously, I hope this is resolved soon just to stop these utterly moronic updates with wild inferences drawn from absolutely no fact whatsoever. Ha ha ha ha.... The players are leaving a bit late!
Toadhall Saint Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 @Joe_Batchelor: To recap, as was all a bit rushed...not sure Poch heard me fully or understood me. Don't read anything into it. Back tracking now eh? All this smacks of the same stuff last time. Didn't it all start like this last time AC Milan are interested in NC next thing NC is going to resign
The Cat Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Pochettino rushed out quickly because he'd been there 30 minutes and didn't want to pay the car parking charges.
Saint Charlie Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Well, at least this gives us a chance to see whether the theory that Leibherr ownership is more important then Cortese's leadership holds any weight. Of course it doesn't, she wants to sell the club.
Dig Dig Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 No one's bigger than the club. If anyone, Pochettino included, is here just for the chairman then they can f*ck off because they're here for the wrong reasons. How many managers have we had who were here for the love of the club and fans?
Saint Charlie Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Will he? Why?? And where will he go? He will resign if NC does.
S-Clarke Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Well, at least this gives us a chance to see whether the theory that Leibherr ownership is more important then Cortese's leadership holds any weight. The club will be sold pretty sharpish now, I'd have thought.
James Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Will he? Why?? And where will he go? Saint Charlie seems hell bent on seeing the absolute worst possible outcome in every rumour that has been posted today (notwithstanding the fact that most of them have been entirely discredited).
Jai27 Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Pochettino rushed out quickly because he'd been there 30 minutes and didn't want to pay the car parking charges. I'd heard Bournemouth put an offer in for Guly...
Pancake Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Thanks for the concern. When are sharing a claret tonight Ill mention your comments. Last time I mentioned you he called you "that effete trolley dolly union plebian who fancied himself as Club Historian". Wordy but reasonable I thought. Jealousy is an ugly trait Manj.
sfc1976 Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 A few months of the mid-table stability and investment that I spent god knows how many years wanting, and now normal service is resumed.
