Bewildered

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.

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

Seriously :facepalm:

 

Embarrassing isn't it.

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.

On top of that how may transfer requests could be handed in?

 

Can you name any other examples of a football club chairman handing in his resignation and causing players at the club to request a transfer?

 

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

Seriously :facepalm:

 

Not just a normal facepalm Steve, but a triple McInnes! :mcinnes::mcinnes::mcinnes:

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

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.

 

Someone need to tell NC the story of the boy who cried "Wolf"

Didn't he do this last time he wanted money to spend on players?

 

A little cynical but some could say true. I don't like to believe anything the newspapers say, I'll wait till the club makes a statement and keep my fingers crossed in the meantime. :-)

It will be a shame if he does leave but we should be more worried about being left with a Pompey-style debt than replacing the bloke who signs the cheques.

Sky Sports News story about possible resignation helps Skybet cash-in shocker!

 

Almost as if they do things like that deliberately... nah, they wouldn't would they? :D

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
