ART Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 Tonight it's being reported that Barcelona's President Sandro Rosell has resigned. Could this be the potential next move of Nicola Cortese? If it were, what would be the possible repercussions for Saints? http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/25866962
sussexsaint Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 I know a forward that they could have at a reasonable price , all been orchestrated of course
stevegrant Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 No. Prospective presidents of Barcelona and Real Madrid require their own wealth in order to stand for election, and I believe have to have been a socio (i.e. member) for a number of years.
Micky Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 No. Prospective presidents of Barcelona and Real Madrid require their own wealth in order to stand for election, and I believe have to have been a socio (i.e. member) for a number of years. Coupled with the fact that I could hardly see Nicola taking a step down now....!
CB Saint Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 Hopefully he will succeed and buy the Italian nutter from us
Charlie Wayman Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 Oh come on chaps don't lets get ahead of ourselves, Brentford maybe, Barcelona... "Usted debe ester bromeando" as in 'taking the urine!'
kpturner Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 Absolutely no chance whatsoever - just my opinion of course.
Barry Sanchez Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 Are they not run by the fans for the fans and they have on vote on it? Its a far too democratic system for Nicola and English football clubs to imagine.
Gemmel Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 We haven't heard the last of Cortese, but it will just be noise.
Smirking_Saint Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 Itll be someone from the la masia massive I expect
Fan The Flames Posted 24 January, 2014 Posted 24 January, 2014 I think Art has elevated NC way beyond his station.
BG_Saint Posted 24 January, 2014 Posted 24 January, 2014 Oh come on chaps don't lets get ahead of ourselves, Brentford maybe, Barcelona... "Usted debe ester bromeando" as in 'taking the urine!' You should have posted this in catala...
sandwichsaint Posted 24 January, 2014 Posted 24 January, 2014 Quick, someone photoshop those guys handing their STs back ...
Chez Posted 24 January, 2014 Posted 24 January, 2014 He will be Nottingham Forrest chairman before you know it so I am told
doubleonothing Posted 24 January, 2014 Posted 24 January, 2014 @JFergusonSPORT: Former Southampton CEO, Nicola Cortese is at the City Ground this evening and is expected to be announced as CEO next week #saintsfc #nffc
saint lard Posted 24 January, 2014 Posted 24 January, 2014 Cortese too forest is nailed on apparently. WtF?...our loss is forests' gain. that is a coup for them. id wager they are above us in 4 years.
St Chalet Posted 24 January, 2014 Posted 24 January, 2014 Cortese too forest is nailed on apparently. WtF?...our loss is forests' gain. that is a coup for them. id wager they are above us in 4 years. How much?
dan17 Posted 24 January, 2014 Posted 24 January, 2014 Only with a **** load of money will they be anywhere near us in 4 years time!
Saint-Armstrong Posted 24 January, 2014 Posted 24 January, 2014 If we disliked his approach of disregarding history, imagine how 2-time European champs Forest will feel!
Chez Posted 24 January, 2014 Posted 24 January, 2014 Only with a **** load of money will they be anywhere near us in 4 years time! Their owner is absolutely minted.
Katalinic Posted 24 January, 2014 Posted 24 January, 2014 The Cortese/Davies dynamic could be interesting.
saint lard Posted 24 January, 2014 Posted 24 January, 2014 Only with a **** load of money will they be anywhere near us in 4 years time! But it doesn't just rely on them finding funding.....it also means will we still have ours?.........a lot can happen in four years,as we have just found out.
dan17 Posted 24 January, 2014 Posted 24 January, 2014 Chez, fair enough didn't realise they had mega money! Lard, you could say the same about almost any club.......
S-Clarke Posted 24 January, 2014 Posted 24 January, 2014 Utter b****** apparently, will have to wait and see. Source that it's coming from is always wrong according to Forest fans, they're actually laughing at it. He's known as their comedy ''tweeter''.
dan17 Posted 24 January, 2014 Posted 24 January, 2014 He's known as their comedy ''tweeter''. Who is ours?
rickylambert Posted 24 January, 2014 Posted 24 January, 2014 Was at there game against Preston tonight, expected to be announced next week
Glasgow_Saint Posted 24 January, 2014 Posted 24 January, 2014 Unlucky them (imho) Wonder if mopo will follow Thought he was destined for bigger things... Barcelona and AC Milan
niceandfriendly Posted 24 January, 2014 Posted 24 January, 2014 Disappointing if true... I was still hoping he'd come back
rickylambert Posted 24 January, 2014 Posted 24 January, 2014 Apparently there was a lot of "Overseas Interest". Then again it was probably Shamrock Rovers
bjk Posted 24 January, 2014 Posted 24 January, 2014 They're owned by loaded Kuwaities arn't they,surprising move if true.
S-Clarke Posted 24 January, 2014 Posted 24 January, 2014 It's been reported by what forest fans understand to be a ''joke tweeter''. Kind of justified in being a joke when the same guy says he ''Understands'' that Billy Davies drew up a list of potential CEO's to ''Sign'' Brilliant.
dan17 Posted 24 January, 2014 Posted 24 January, 2014 Alex Crook. Lots of opinions, not so many facts IMO.
NickG Posted 24 January, 2014 Posted 24 January, 2014 So panic on here & elsewhere misplaced? All we knew was NC decided to suddenly leave in January. And that KL has committed to carry on plans and support manager (hinting continuing spending). Load of nonsense in papers & talksport. KL tried to keep him. I said I thought his departure maybe just personal / opportunity for him. We all know champions league would take silly money but NC wanted it. Maybe he was approached recently, offered silly salary plus silly budget and saw chance to drag a team up as he did with us but with more money? Maybe nothing else here changed?

Saint Benali Posted 24 January, 2014 Posted 24 January, 2014 Feel sorry for them if true, did nothing here. Rather our german ice hockey target tbh.....
Dr Who? Posted 24 January, 2014 Posted 24 January, 2014 He will do a fantastic job wherever he goes. I for one have come back down to earth and do not expect and not as optimist about the future.
Dr Who? Posted 24 January, 2014 Posted 24 January, 2014 Unless he has a stash of a huge amount of money. No.
Smirking_Saint Posted 24 January, 2014 Posted 24 January, 2014 He will do a fantastic job wherever he goes. I for one have come back down to earth and do not expect and not as optimist about the future. This
shurlock Posted 24 January, 2014 Posted 24 January, 2014 Their kuwaiti owners -the al hasawi family- are minted but paupers compared to ML. Can't see Cortese realising his CL ambitions with Forest.
kpturner Posted 24 January, 2014 Posted 24 January, 2014 He's gone so don't really care tbh By the way OP - "their" not "there"
Saint-Armstrong Posted 24 January, 2014 Posted 24 January, 2014 Bull**** rumour. Comes from a guy with very little credibility, and he's the only source who kicked this off. Bloke is a laughing stock on Forest forums and with journalists according to Forest fans. A wannabe ITK, it seems.

scotty Posted 24 January, 2014 Posted 24 January, 2014 lofl @ olallana on the forest site. Good work there son, its not every day a southerner can make a bunch of stokies think we're all retards down here.
Chez Posted 24 January, 2014 Posted 24 January, 2014 While he did a very good job here, the biggest advantage was the academy and existing squad. We spent very well, but some excellent players were already there developing, Schneiderlin and Lallana were there. So it could be more difficult elsewhere, or just take longer. Their academy hasn't been too shabby over the last ten years and they have one or two very decent youngsters again such as Lascelles and Paterson. Darlow is a good young keeper and Landsbury has finally started to fulfill the talent he promised at Arsenal. They just need to buy the right striker in the window.
