dubai_phil Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 FFS now we will most likely be sold to some jokers! Where the hell are St Lee, St David & LLS when we need them?
Kingsland Red Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 FFS now we will most likely be sold to some jokers! Or Corteses's group of Swiss bankers he's kept in the background ?
angelman Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 TlkSport: NC leaving to be replaced by KL, while trying to persuade MP to stay. Frankly I don't care any more. Stories changing the whole time.
Ohio Saint Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Just a reminder...NOTHING HAS BEEN CONFIRMED... As you said earlier, this is a forum. It's for talking about stuff. If we waited for confirmation, this would be a news site.
Pastor Patrón Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Ah well, still backed by billionaires, hardly going to be a fire sell is there and he was a bit of a stroppy c#nt.
Saint Charlie Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Ah well, still backed by billionaires, hardly going to be a fire sell is there and he was a bit of a stroppy c#nt. We will see. NC leaving can't be a good thing though.
S-Clarke Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Just a reminder...NOTHING HAS BEEN CONFIRMED... It's pretty clear it's happened though. No point ignoring it.
angelman Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Acc to BBC he has left Well at least the 2014 calendar is still relevant.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 As you said earlier, this is a forum. It's for talking about stuff. If we waited for confirmation, this would be a news site. Yeah i know but we have been over every scenario twice, now we need some concrete stuff
Ohio Saint Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 life as a Saints fan He should have blocked that!
Convict Colony Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Can I just get out a for fuuccckkksss sake, just when we were looking cushty we **** ourselves up, fuuccking huge boollloocckkss
Pastor Patrón Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 We will see. NC leaving can't be a good thing though. Yes it can, we've got an awesome set up there now, it's pretty hard to f#ck it up and we might get some one with a bit more tact in charge. My biggest hope is that whoever takes over tries to patch up relations with Le Tiss etc.
SaintRichmond Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 We will see. NC leaving can't be a good thing though. It is if you support A.C. Milan
Georgie Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Hang on a minute Katharina to become the new chairwoman when reportedly she doesn't want to be known publicly or have any involvement in the club? How will this work? I'm not even sure which stories are true or not anymore.
Jai27 Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Right then, if Cortese does go and Potch does follow with all his back room staff what happens then? I imagine Osvaldo may be a little ****ed off...
Dr Who? Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 It cannot be true, she will be running the club, not knowing anything about football..... Sounds like that lot down the road.
S-Clarke Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Right then, if Cortese does go and Potch does follow with all his back room staff what happens then? I imagine Osvaldo may be a little ****ed off... I'd be worried about other stuff, a lot more than potentially losing Osvaldo to be honest.
LGTL Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 So KL to take over followed by an immediate sale.
Dr Who? Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Right then, if Cortese does go and Potch does follow with all his back room staff what happens then? I imagine Osvaldo may be a little ****ed off... We lose to Sunderland that could be the worse thing about all this.
Jimmy_D Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 (edited) Or Corteses's group of Swiss bankers he's kept in the background ? Probably the best case scenario if the reports are true, but I doubt that will happen. Would be funny to see the reaction of Pompey fans if it does though Still only reports from third parties currently, one of a journalist's magic words 'expected' sat in there. Does look likely he's on his way though. One encouraging thing is that all the reports of keeping hold of players etc. from the club have presumably come after he tendered his resignation, if that report is true.

fez Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Hang on a minute Katharina to become the new chairwoman when reportedly she doesn't want to be known publicly or have any involvement in the club? How will this work? And isn't interested in football
Marsdinho Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 There's a few threads on the forum now covering roughly the same subject, maybe we should group them together and change the thread title to, I don't know, maybe "Saints Takeover Saga".
jasonb Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 life as a Saints fan Have you seen the full video of this intelligent muscle animation system ?? Quite brilliant work.. soon we won't need animators. Hurrrah! Animators are the bane of my life. http://t.co/vtGDyxdPXd
Trader Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 'Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.' Thanks Shanks.
Saint Charlie Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Mail reports several players furious and considering futures.
Ohio Saint Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Mail reports several players furious and considering futures. the key word being "Mail"
Jai27 Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 (edited) I'd be worried about other stuff, a lot more than potentially losing Osvaldo to be honest. I was trying to make a 'funny' but I obviously failed... On a serious note, I bet we'll have clubs queening up to plunder our squad now Cortese is out of the picture. Good opportunity for Katharina Liebherr to maximise profit? Then again I suppose without the squad in place the value of the club decreases fair bit... Edited 15 January, 2014 by Jai27
Georgie Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 If this is true then why the hell is this being done half way through the season ffs.
James Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 It's pretty clear it's happened though. No point ignoring it. Until it is confirmed by the club then there is no point in worrying about it.
manji Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Careful don't upset manji 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.
itchen_dan Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 the key word being "Mail" Key part of article is Neil Ashton. Same journo who over the last 3/6 months has had incredible access to the club.
James Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Mail reports several players furious and considering futures. Ah yes, that reputable source the Daily Mail. Seriously, until this is actually confirmed by the club there isn't anything set in stone.
Saint Charlie Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Bad, bad day for Saints and could get worse.
The Cat Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Mail reports several players furious and considering futures. What, so they can move to a different club that has 100% stability like, um, err.
stmusicdude Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Acc to BBC he has left do you an issue reading? not what they said!
Pastor Patrón Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Mail reports several players furious and considering futures. If they want to leave because a chairman leaves then they're welcome to f#ck off.
itchen_dan 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
Georgie 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.
James Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Bad, bad day for Saints and could get worse. But, nothing has actually happened...(at least nothing that has actually been confirmed).
manji Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Yes it can, we've got an awesome set up there now, it's pretty hard to f#ck it up and we might get some one with a bit more tact in charge. My biggest hope is that whoever takes over tries to patch up relations with Le Tiss etc. That certainly is of HUGE importance.
Dr Who? Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 When are the club going to say something? I suppose when they have something solid to say, rather than rumours?
doubleonothing 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.
S-Clarke 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 Not sure why that's bad news, they'd have been briefed to say absolutely nothing. It means zilch at this moment in time. But I would say that the time is pretty much here to release a statement. There needs to be an official word confirming this now.
