Matthew Le God Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 (edited) He's the sports editor. The funny thing if we were talking, say, Harry Redknapp, none of you divs for a minute would question the idea that he would have the phone numbers of a key journalist or two. Bless your little hearts you think your Nicky is everso different. Put yourself in Cortese's place, how would you feel if Blackmore phoned you up on the Sunday morning after you left the club because he was curious about a newspaper story? Would you even take the call, let alone give him an answer to the question? And yet you think that is more plausible than Blackmore contacting one of the media department he regularly sees, follows on Twitter and would have the work email for. I'm very tempted to add you to my ignore list along with Turkish. Bizarre argumentative viewpoints combined with petty personal insults. Yep, thats sorted, I won't be conversing with you anymore. Carry on peeps. Back to the takeover talk... Edited 19 January, 2014 by Matthew Le God
dubai_phil Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 Katharina has checked into a hotel in Winchester for 4 nights with 4 other people and they have asked for a 'closed off' room. Oh and she smokes. All together now......... SOURCE? Thanks Griffo, we can get this back on tract now and away from the CBF is the only poster ever right all the time discussion

Would you even take the call, let alone give him an answer to the question? MLG - FFS get a room with CBF Perhaps you could try Winchester both of you?
Griffo Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 All together now......... SOURCE? Thanks Griffo, we can get this back on tract now and away from the CBF is the only poster ever right all the time discussion Someone that works at the hotel.
Barry Sanchez Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 All together now......... SOURCE? Thanks Griffo, we can get this back on tract now and away from the CBF is the only poster ever right all the time discussion Now now,positive news or perceived shall be taken as if its set in stone.
S-Clarke Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 Katharina has checked into a hotel in Winchester for 4 nights with 4 other people and they have asked for a 'closed off' room. Oh and she smokes. Probably just the process of appointing a new CEO.
SaintBobby Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 He's the sports editor. The funny thing if we were talking, say, Harry Redknapp, none of you divs for a minute would question the idea that he would have the phone numbers of a key journalist or two. Bless your little hearts you think your Nicky is everso different. You've seen Harry Redknapp lean out of his car window on Sky Sports on transfer deadline day, so Adam Blackmore must be phoning Cortese at home on Sunday. What planet are you on? (or what computer games do you play?) You really have made a complete fool of yourself on this thread.
Griffo Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 Probably just the process of appointing a new CEO. Didn't say it wasn't. Trying to find out the names of the other 4, hopefully will know today or tomorrow. There wasn't a Chinese bloke or wherever this Wang is from, they were all white.
CB Fry Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 Put yourself in Cortese's place, how would you feel if Blackmore phoned you up on the Sunday morning after you left the club because he was curious about a newspaper story? Would you even take the call, let alone give him an answer to the question?

I'm very tempted to add you to my ignore list along with Turkish. Bizarre argumentative viewpoints combined with petty personal insults. Yep, thats sorted, I won't be conversing with you anymore. Carry on peeps. Back to the takeover talk... LOL. Sweet, precious Nicola with howwible journalists bothering him. How dare they. No, you're right. He was probably on the phone to Neil Ashton. Or organising an "official" sactioned conversation with Neil Ashton through Neil's PA.

The funny thing if we were talking, say, Harry Redknapp, none of you divs for a minute would question the idea that he would have the phone numbers of a key journalist or two. Bless your little hearts you think your Nicky is everso different. I'm still chuckling from the suggestion that believing Harry Redknapp and Nicola Cortese are "ever so different" is somehow a strange or odd belief.
S-Clarke Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 Give it a break CB Fry. You're making yourself look more silly by the minute.
CB Fry Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 I'm still chuckling from the suggestion that believing Harry Redknapp and Nicola Cortese are "ever so different" is somehow a strange or odd belief. Anyone reading the papers this week will see just how similar they are.
JackFrost Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 Give it a break CB Fry. You're making yourself look more silly by the minute. what's going on? CB Fry trolling again with the usual patronising technique? I'm surprised people still try and have constructive debates with him.
Griffo Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 Have also seen a picture of her at the hotel and her check-in card. So it's 100% that she's there. Just f*ck knows what for.
Barry Sanchez Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 Have also seen a picture of her at the hotel and her check-in card. So it's 100% that she's there. Just f*ck knows what for. If its for one of those rendezvous's with men then I hope he gets an awful lot of money or a very good position in the company..................................

Bearsy Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 Katharina has checked into a hotel in Winchester for 4 nights with 4 other people and they have asked for a 'closed off' room. Relax, three of them are just catering.
SaintBobby Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 Anyone reading the papers this week will see just how similar they are. They are clearly spectacularly different people, with wildly different backgrounds, styles, careers, professional approaches, personalities, ambitions etc. Redknapp is basically felt to be a shoot-from-the-hip, provide comment off the cuff, chit chatty sort of manager with a "geezer" personality having spent his whole career in football (and as a media personality). Cortese is a pretty inscrutable, somewhat understated, rather controlling Swiss banker. I don't think it's too much of a leap to suggest that they may well handle their interactions with the British media rather differently.
sfc1976 Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 Does Kevin Keegan still have a house in the area?
Bearsy Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 Laughable all 5 of them in one room tho. Maybe she ain't as wealthy as made out?
Griffo Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 Got surnames of 3 of them.. Kruger, Hofsetter and Lenhart. Could be family/friends or anyone though, no idea.
sfc1976 Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 Her and four blokes in one room? Anyone spot Ben Dover?
shurlock Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 (edited) Jesus Christ, MLG. Blackmore's source is almost certainly Cortese or someone very close. You realise your hero who you used to pretend did his business "properly" and "privately" has spent the last week blabbing to anyone who will listen in the press like an evicted Celebrity Big Brother housemate. All I want to know is when Blackmore calls the Cortese residence first thing on a Sunday morning, does he ask for Nic or Mr Cortese? Edited 19 January, 2014 by shurlock

I don't think it's too much of a leap to suggest that they may well handle their interactions with the British media rather differently. You're right. One of them has spent a long time cultivating a media image through selected press sychphants that he is some king midas whose departure would spell disaster for any club. And the other one is the current manager of QPR.
jamesfp1 Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 Got surnames of 3 of them.. Kruger, Hofsetter and Lenhart. Could be family/friends or anyone though, no idea. Get googling!
Delboy Dave Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 Dont shoot me down for this, but i have just heard from a good source who i will not name as it could effect his employment. Anyway not sure if this has been said before or is common knowledge but Rod Stewart is going to buy the club and Gordon Strachan is going to be the new manager. This sounds perfect if its corect! What, you mean Rod Stewart isnt buying the club anymore?
Guided Missile Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 A video showing Wang Jianlin arriving at Southampton Airport just posted on Youtube:
DuncanRG Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 If KL's got engagements off Southampton premises I doubt it has much to do with us. If they chose a location away from St Marys for the sake of secrecy, we wouldn't know their names.
whelk Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 Well they're the ones who are actively making the comparison, not some benighted Westerner from deepest, most inbred part of Hampshire. Tan is of Chinese origin and plenty have suggested -the author Joe Studwell being the best example- how the South East Asian diaspora is a blueprint for how entrepreneurs on the mainland, though largely in the south of the country, run and look at their businesses. You're out of your depth on this one, sunshine. Tbh I am not that interested. And any old person can delve around the internet. Doesn't make you an investigative journalist sunshine.

Griffo Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 http://ch.linkedin.com/pub/robert-lenhart-lic-oec-hsg/3/953/576 ? Sent picture to mate, apparently that's one of em yes.
whelk Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 If you're not interested, keep your mouth shut and don't make yourself look like a clown. Just pointing out your casual rascism. I am not interested in speculation from you as if you have any insight. It is a rumour.
Bewildered Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 The other 2 possibly work for... http://www.steuerberater-stuttgart-krueger-hofstetter.de/index.php/component/option,com_chronoforms/Itemid,3/ I don't think so, the Kruger part of the duo is a woman, Griffo said they were all men.
farawaysaint Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 Get googling! Kruger and Hoffsetter appear to be a German tax consultation firm.
waggy Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 Katharina has checked into a hotel in Winchester for 4 nights with 4 other people and they have asked for a 'closed off' room. Oh and she smokes. any chance that Hofsetter isn't Hofstetter who are international business law specilaists? http://www.hillhofstetter.com/
Batman Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 she is hiring them to ensure the smooth transaction of the club to the chinese sugar daddy
Badger Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 Got surnames of 3 of them.. Kruger, Hofsetter and Lenhart. Could be family/friends or anyone though, no idea. Are you sure it wasn't Kronenbourg, Hofmeister , and a Glenfiddich ?

Well done chaps, that does look like serious googling on your part.
Griffo Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 It might not even be Saints related at all but thought it was worth putting up just in case.
ThreeSixty Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 Apparently Hans Gruber has just checked in.

Quite apart from any truth in the rumour, someone suggested that they didn't like the idea of Far Eastern owners - simply noted that Wang didn't fit the same template. Casual racism? Odd
Badger Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 she is hiring them to ensure the smooth transaction of the club to the chinese sugar daddy Initial googling suggests to me tax consultants, possibly auditors.
doggface Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 Finance & tax specialists just to appoint a CEO.... Takeover talks imo
Faz Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 Oh oh, here comes Capt. Hans Geering. René: May I tell you a little legend, Colonel? It is said that these champagne glasses were modeled on the bosom of Marie Antoinette. Capt. Hans Geering: They should have modeled them on Katarina's bosom. We would have got a bigger drink.
Badger Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 Is this one of them ? This thread has rapidly gone south...as expected... How long before Barry Beardall gets a mention? oops... Mere mention of the name, and the image just haunts me !!
trousers Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 @peterwhite_1: “@bigadamsport: I'm informed that Cortese-Chinese consortium #saintsfc takeover story is well wide of the mark”source mate? @bigadamsport: @peterwhite_1 different to yours obviously, but one I believed enough to tweet that - who was yours? @runtherainbow: @bigadamsport apparently common knowledge with the Sunseeker employees for some weeks source one of my business partner a with a Sunseker @bigadamsport: @runtherainbow well I may be wrong but told by people in contact with club's hierarchy that it's not been on agenda or discussed
waggy Posted 19 January, 2014 Posted 19 January, 2014 Is this one of them ? Mere mention of the name, and the image just haunts me !! WTF's the restaurant owning ex plumber from Doc Martin got to do with anything
