Tokyo-Saint Posted 19 May, 2014 Share Posted 19 May, 2014 He was on the money in the Nicki C days but yet to be proven with the new board. I always thought he was one of Nicki's mouthpieces ala Jim White. Wonder where this came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olallana Posted 19 May, 2014 Share Posted 19 May, 2014 Well if he´s so shocked about it, then it would be time for the club to release it on the OS to destroy their "story". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted 19 May, 2014 Share Posted 19 May, 2014 2 Youth players have gone to Villa They aren't from "behind the scenes", they were youth players that weren't offered pro deals by Saints and found a new club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 19 May, 2014 Share Posted 19 May, 2014 If he's so shocked then I doubt whether it's MoPo or any of the other players that have been whored around by the press that wouldn't be classed as behind the scenes anyway. the club seem to be recruiting a lot of people just lately, non-football posts mainly but there was a shake up in the Global Marketing setup a while back I think.

Conspiracy theory alert: Maybe Pochettino doesn't get on with "someone behind the scenes" and he's told KL: "I will only stay if he/they go"..... ergo, this news can only mean one thing..... that MP is staying....

SuperSAINT Posted 19 May, 2014 Share Posted 19 May, 2014 I'll say Reed. He'd be the only one with proper "shock" factor given what's going on. (Unless it's Ms Liebherr of course!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pap Posted 19 May, 2014 Share Posted 19 May, 2014 Cortese hasn't actually left St Mary's. He's been hammock-camping in the rafters since January. Poortvliet has been there since the Championship relegation season. They've both been living on a diet of pigeons and discarded pies. This'll just be the announcement that they've found them, I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This'll just be the announcement that they've found them, I reckon. *like* Actually, maybe Cortese and Katharina have patched things up and Reed + Rogers have been sacked to make way for Cortese's return? It's all starting to slot into place now. Either that or 2 tea ladies have gone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
