Badger Posted 17 January, 2014 Posted 17 January, 2014 Rupert, Christian .... we certainly attract a certain type of name don't we ?
Colinjb Posted 17 January, 2014 Posted 17 January, 2014 Old news, but he would seem to be a sensible fit.
Barry Sanchez Posted 18 January, 2014 Posted 18 January, 2014 Jesus no, Liverpool fans hate him up here, he was ****.
Lord Duckhunter Posted 18 January, 2014 Posted 18 January, 2014 Jesus no, Liverpool fans hate him up here, he was ****. Bollards, the ones I know think he's great. He helped push the chuckle brothers out.
Barry Sanchez Posted 18 January, 2014 Posted 18 January, 2014 Bollards, the ones I know think he's great. He helped push the chuckle brothers out. I dont know how many Liverpool fans you know but I know a few,he did help to get them out but he is made millions from that, his remit was very different to what we require now anyway. He brought Hodgson in and also firstly was friendly with the Americans, self styled, tell your Liverpool friends they know nothing of him, he is disliked as a self styled saviour.
Barry Sanchez Posted 18 January, 2014 Posted 18 January, 2014 He also wears Cuban heels due to a lack of height, no lies.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 18 January, 2014 Posted 18 January, 2014 was involved in reducing debt at Liverpool and got them an 80million sponsorship with standard charter bank on a 4 year deal. His main priority was to renegotiate the £350m loan the club had outstanding with RBS and to assume overall management of the club. Educated at Cambridge and Harvard with an excellent business CV Hes been heavily linked with Rangers in the past If he is appointed, youd have to assume we are for sale
Saint Charlie Posted 18 January, 2014 Posted 18 January, 2014 Google him. Liverpool fans hated the guy.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 18 January, 2014 Posted 18 January, 2014 Google him. Liverpool fans hated the guy. Because he sacked Rafa
Barry Sanchez Posted 18 January, 2014 Posted 18 January, 2014 Because he sacked Rafa And brought in Hodgson, dodgy signings, friendly with the Yanks and then swapped sides, how the guy get gigs talking about football simply shows how ****e the game has become, style over substance, another Cortese business style without footballing knowledge, what other industry would do this?

Didnt the dippers call him zoolander?
doughnutman Posted 18 January, 2014 Posted 18 January, 2014 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/southampton/10581974/Derek-Llambias-in-frame-to-replace-Nicola-Cortese-as-Southampton-chairman.html As above
Graffito Posted 18 January, 2014 Posted 18 January, 2014 It just says he'd be interested in the job. I bet he would. It's a great job and he's unemployed.
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 18 January, 2014 Posted 18 January, 2014 I am encouraged by the profile of the candidates we're being linked with. If whomever comes in can extend Pochettino's contract they'd make quite a statement.
Matthew Le God Posted 18 January, 2014 Posted 18 January, 2014 Llambias is a good negotiator, for a start he got Liverpool to pay £35m for Andy Carroll!
Olallana Posted 18 January, 2014 Posted 18 January, 2014 Llambias is a good negotiator, for a start he got Liverpool to pay £35m for Andy Carroll! Some would say that´s criminal
Turkish Posted 18 January, 2014 Posted 18 January, 2014 He also wears Cuban heels due to a lack of height, no lies. So he has something in common with his predecessor then.
CB Fry Posted 18 January, 2014 Posted 18 January, 2014 Llambias has strong connections with a manager who is actually proven capable of taking sides in the top five, and playing European football.
Barry Sanchez Posted 18 January, 2014 Posted 18 January, 2014 (edited) God knows what happened to my post, he is of a better calibre than others that have been mentioned especially Purslow. Edited 18 January, 2014 by Barry Sanchez
derry Posted 18 January, 2014 Posted 18 January, 2014 I have a feeling it won't be anyone we know here. Any bets on a Swiss/German or Italian professional banker/accountant or the like.
buctootim Posted 18 January, 2014 Posted 18 January, 2014 I have a feeling it won't be anyone we know here. Any bets on a Swiss/German or Italian professional banker/accountant or the like. Should think she's had her fill of those
Badger Posted 18 January, 2014 Posted 18 January, 2014 Llambias has strong connections with a manager who is actually proven capable of taking sides in the top five, and playing European football. I give up, who ? God knows what happened to my post, he is of a better calibre than others that have been mentioned especially Poulson. Do you mean Purslow ? Mention of Poulson, perhaps he should be avoided ; if related to this f^cker, a dodgy corrupt architect . He'd give 'arry and El Spiv a run for their money in the Alleged Brown Envelope Stakes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Poulson
Badger Posted 18 January, 2014 Posted 18 January, 2014 I have a feeling it won't be anyone we know here. Any bets on a Swiss/German or Italian professional banker/accountant or the like. Probably the safest pair of hands they can wish for, providing already known to the Liebherr family, and he knows KL & Co are watching over his shoulder.

Edited 18 January, 2014 by Barry Sanchez
DuncanRG Posted 18 January, 2014 Posted 18 January, 2014 Christian Poulsen would make a pretty appalling chairman
Barry Sanchez Posted 18 January, 2014 Posted 18 January, 2014 He was a player for Liverpool, thats why I was ballsed it up ha ha, good player as well in his time, indeed he would be a far better chairman than most.
CB Fry Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 I give up, who? ] Work it out you #*#*#* old #*#*.
Fan The Flames Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 My favourite CEO now that Barnard Matthews is dead, is PY Gerbeau, if no him any CEO from a top ten FTSE100 company please.
Wopper Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 She will get some german flunky to run the club for her.
Badger Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 Work it out you #*#*#* old #*#*. from his time at Newcastle ?
dubai_phil Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 Adam Blackmore @bigadamsport 6m #saintsfc could announce appointment of new chief executive as early as tomorrow
ladysaint Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 I read in one of the Nationals lthat KL is personally conducting interviews today at SMS so that would fit in with the post above.
Window Cleaner Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 Adam Blackmore @bigadamsport 6m #saintsfc could announce appointment of new chief executive as early as tomorrow Well obviously we could in that most things are hypothetically possible (apart from Time Travel and exceeding the Speed of Light of course). Whether we will is something completely different. As I have no recollection whatsoever concerning the accuracy of Adam's predictions I can't really judge on what he states here.
Huffton Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 I read in one of the Nationals lthat KL is personally conducting interviews today at SMS so that would fit in with the post above. Right. Everyone down to SMS with cameras ready to vet the candidates!
dubai_phil Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 Stealing pap's Lounge log in for a moment, IF Adam is correct, then that is mighty fast to locate, ask for resume's, conduct interviews and come to a deal all since Wednesday. Possible of course as Windows says, but opens another door for discussion. Maybe she has been looking for longer?
Badger Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 Right. Everyone down to SMS with cameras ready to vet the candidates! earlobe alert at the ready.

Window Cleaner Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 She would have been mad not to, seeing as Cortese was working out 3 months notice. In fact in that case you could say she's not been very prompt about the whole affair at all. Probably far more complex than that though, perhaps it was thought that he'd back down.... can't have known him very well in that case then !!
itchen_dan Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 I am pretty confident that Derek Llambias is well in the frame. Was tweeting about him yesterday and a person called Adam Llambias, who appears to be his son, favourited one of my tweets. I am sure however he isn't the only one lined up.
Badger Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 I know very little about Derek Llambias but the interesting thing reading about him (Wikipedia as one source) it appears that he was unpopular amongst the fan base whilst at Newcastle, in the same way as Purslow at Liverpool, although there are conflicting comments about Purslow of course.

I think a lot of his popularity issues revolve around his closeness to Ashley as well as a few outbursts against the likes of Keegan and Shearer as well as a couple of digs at the fans. On the pitch, he had developed a very successful scouting network which meant they were able to bring identify good players early and bring them in for low fees.

If you believe the 'NC tendered his resignation three months ago' theory then KL has has plenty of time to choose a replacement.
dubai_phil Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 If you believe the 'NC tendered his resignation three months ago' theory then KL has has plenty of time to choose a replacement. Yep As we learnt back in the days of yacht watch. We learn more as we wait and see...........
ART Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 The most experienced person to run Saints has to be Rupert Lowe. Would access to big money transform him from his misunderstood leadership without investment? Has he learned from his time away from the club and where he went wrong? I believe yes and would not be bothered if he returned as the new CEO. Karma deems he will return.

positivepete Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 Wasn't Andy Oldknow the first CEO of the Leibherr era? Perhaps he is in the frame again.
