Roger Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Don't buy it. Was announced 4hrs ago but they've decided to go already? No chance. Also, if it's definite he resigned in oct surely hed tell poch before now. But poch was shocked today when he found out? There's a ton if rubbish being made up. See what comes out tomorrow before i press the panic button.
kpturner Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Yes I cannot believe that Pochettino did not know about this before today - especially if, as alledged, Cortese resigned three months ago.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Yes I cannot believe that Pochettino did not know about this before today - especially if, as alledged, Cortese resigned three months ago. Might explain why Poch has seemed a bit more subdued on the touchline recently? Or he may be angry at Cortese after saying he'd loyally follow him out of the club last May and then only potentially finding out today Cortese has been leaving since October. All complete conjecture at the moment and I doubt we'll ever really know it all.
wild-saint Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 spoke to a friend tonight who went to the saints xmas party a few weeks back. cortese gave a really convincing soeech about the plans for the future which alluded to world domination. He cannot believe that he had already tended his resignation after listening to the passion of his rallying speech. personally i feel tht if he had indicated his intention to leave talks would already be underway with potential replacements and if thats the case then it would have been leaked far earlier than now.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 15 January, 2014 Posted 15 January, 2014 Where was it said that NC gave notice in October?

Charlie Wayman Posted 16 January, 2014 Posted 16 January, 2014 Certainly explains Cortese's absence since Christmas. Must have left on Jan 1st.

Window Cleaner Posted 16 January, 2014 Posted 16 January, 2014 Certainly explains Cortese's absence since Christmas. Must have left on Jan 1st. which would explain the woeful performance of some of our players against Chelsea. Said at the time that something unpleasant had gone down at SFC and perhaps I wasn't wrong.
Roger Posted 16 January, 2014 Author Posted 16 January, 2014 which would explain the woeful performance of some of our players against Chelsea. Said at the time that something unpleasant had gone down at SFC and perhaps I wasn't wrong. Not really. They are pros ffs.
Window Cleaner Posted 16 January, 2014 Posted 16 January, 2014 Not really. They are pros ffs. Pros who've bought into the "project", pros who could have gone elsewhere for more money and more status, some will be bitterly despondant.
rickylambert Posted 16 January, 2014 Posted 16 January, 2014 which would explain the woeful performance of some of our players against Chelsea. Said at the time that something unpleasant had gone down at SFC and perhaps I wasn't wrong. Spoke to a player last night, said it was the first he'd heard of it.
Window Cleaner Posted 16 January, 2014 Posted 16 January, 2014 Spoke to a player last night, said it was the first he'd heard of it. fair enough then, we'll just have to leave the shocking and disinterested looking performances of certain players against Chelsea down to lack of form or New Year's hangovers then.
Mr X Posted 16 January, 2014 Posted 16 January, 2014 Bid accepted of 7 million by west ham for Lambert according to the telegraph

Bucks Saint Posted 16 January, 2014 Posted 16 January, 2014 Bid accepted of 7 million by west ham for Lambert according to the telegraph Dont believe it, cant see it, dont want it. But if true, at £7m, might just be a very astute deal
Window Cleaner Posted 16 January, 2014 Posted 16 January, 2014 Dont believe it, cant see it, dont want it. But if true, at £7m, might just be a very astute deal Don't really believe it either, Traoré has got his work permit and will be signing for them later on today (apparently), they've re-signed Carlton Cole and they have Carroll now, why on earth would they want Lambert as well.
Mr X Posted 16 January, 2014 Posted 16 January, 2014 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/southampton/10575242/Southampton-chairman-Nicola-Cortese-exit-paves-way-for-20m-Luke-Shaw-transfer-as-suitors-circle-St-Marys.html at bottom of article says a bid accepted yesterday night
dubai_phil Posted 16 January, 2014 Posted 16 January, 2014 Don't really believe it either, Traoré has got his work permit and will be signing for them later on today (apparently), they've re-signed Carlton Cole and they have Carroll now, why on earth would they want Lambert as well. And REALLY? With everything that went on yesterday, who the hell did WHU negotiate the deal with? Ah so NC did the deal to sell SRL and KL stepped in to save a legend.... Neither make any sense
lordswoodsaints Posted 16 January, 2014 Posted 16 January, 2014 If I was a betting man I would bet on his departure having something to do with transfer funds....cortese wanted money,the liebhers didn't want to give him any.
Mr X Posted 16 January, 2014 Posted 16 January, 2014 If I was a betting man I would bet on his departure having something to do with transfer funds....cortese wanted money,the liebhers didn't want to give him any. Can't blame them to be honest he's had 50 odd million in total and the signings of Ramirez & Osvaldo look to be bad bits of business
Give it to Ron Posted 16 January, 2014 Posted 16 January, 2014 Can't blame them to be honest he's had 50 odd million in total and the signings of Ramirez & Osvaldo look to be bad bits of business Coupled with Mayuka, Forren, Gazza you can see why she might be a bit upset.
Mikey88 Posted 16 January, 2014 Posted 16 January, 2014 I know its hardly concrete evidence but some of the tweets that Luke Shaws dad favourited last night seem to suggest he will be staying Cam_Lopez1·15 hrs @paul_shaw3 Well said let's continue the journey after all it could be for the better. @JSaintStephens·15 hrs @paul_shaw3 your opinion is the same as any man who wishes the club well #distraught I hope Luke will hang around a bit longer. :-( @AdyKnight1·13 hrs @paul_shaw3 @ReganAtk . No one is bigger than the club. #SaintsFc
alpine_saint Posted 16 January, 2014 Posted 16 January, 2014 Can't blame them to be honest he's had 50 odd million in total and the signings of Ramirez & Osvaldo look to be bad bits of business Apparently that is a ridiculous assertion to make
Mr X Posted 16 January, 2014 Posted 16 January, 2014 Apparently that is a ridiculous assertion to make I guess it depends on how much input Cortese had on the signings I assume mp requested Osvaldo as he'd worked with him before
Dr Who? Posted 16 January, 2014 Posted 16 January, 2014 Seems like a few will be leaving. It feels like the end of an era...... I hope not.
Window Cleaner Posted 16 January, 2014 Posted 16 January, 2014 (edited) Seems like a few will be leaving. It feels like the end of an era...... I hope not. End of an Era... now there was a provocative poster...hated Burley if I remember correctly...what happened to him/her ? I remember someone accusing he/her/it of being Leon Crouch. Edited 16 January, 2014 by Window Cleaner
Saint Garrett Posted 16 January, 2014 Posted 16 January, 2014 They've not left yet - both in training this morning.
pap Posted 16 January, 2014 Posted 16 January, 2014 If Lambert really wants to go, take him off the banner, ta. A Saints legend wouldn't countenance it in these circumstances. Wait and see first, though.
jasonb Posted 16 January, 2014 Posted 16 January, 2014 (edited) If Lambert really wants to go, take him off the banner, ta. A Saints legend wouldn't countenance it. Wait and see first, though. I've offered my services to do the neccesary with that sodding banner... last time was to include Big Ron and remove Keegan... not heard anything back tho so guess I'm not required: I realise that Ron would need to be shifted left and into the correct timeline... the above was a very quick mock-up without the actually PNG or PSD file to play with. Edited 16 January, 2014 by jasonb
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 16 January, 2014 Posted 16 January, 2014 Coupled with Mayuka, Forren, Gazza you can see why she might be a bit upset. How about Lovren,Clyne, JRod, Lambert, Fonte, Davis, Cork, Boruc & Wanyama who if sold tomorrow would more likely than not see a profit on their initial outlay?
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 16 January, 2014 Posted 16 January, 2014 Apparently that is a ridiculous assertion to make Because it is, myopic too.
Dr Who? Posted 16 January, 2014 Posted 16 January, 2014 Lets hold our horses on the banner for now, yes? ha ha ha.

James Posted 16 January, 2014 Posted 16 January, 2014 I don't think either will go in this window. But, as much as I love RL £7m for a player of his age and with his goals record this season is a fantastic return.
jasonb Posted 16 January, 2014 Posted 16 January, 2014 Lets hold our horses on the banner for now, yes? ha ha ha. No probs.. I never suggested the removal of SRL... just that I am primed and ready should it come to that
Window Cleaner Posted 16 January, 2014 Posted 16 January, 2014 You have lost me. on the old forum, back in the dark days of the warring triumvirate, continual take over speculation,Jonah, Longshot, Mike Wild posting etc. There was a poster of that name. Never made the switch to this forum it would seem, hated Burley, seemed to know an awful lot about some things.
trousers Posted 16 January, 2014 Posted 16 January, 2014 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2540524/Mauricio-Pochettino-set-stay-Southampton-talks-Katharina-Liebherr.html Incredibly, Cortese was locked in talks with West Ham over the £7million sale of Lambert. Cortese and Lambert were scheduled to meet at the club’s Marchwood training centre, but that has been cancelled following Cortese’s resignation.
Saint Charlie Posted 16 January, 2014 Posted 16 January, 2014 Lambert speculation is odd. He is more likely to start for us than them. They have just re-signed Cole, will also sign Traore and have Carroll fit.
Window Cleaner Posted 16 January, 2014 Posted 16 January, 2014 Lambert speculation is odd. He is more likely to start for us than them. They have just re-signed Cole, will also sign Traore and have Carroll fit. Unless SRL is desperately shopping around for a move, then again why would he be doing that because he seemed to be saying completely otherwise only a few weeks back. It's an enigma really.
JoeShmoe Posted 16 January, 2014 Posted 16 January, 2014 To be fair a lot of people said before this blew up that we ought to take 7m for SRL (who has really looked his age this season) and 30m for Shaw (a world record fee for a fullback). With or without NC there's a very good argument both would be good business if we can find suitable replacements
