Soulful Odin Posted 20 January, 2015 Share Posted 20 January, 2015 Seems all hope of Cortese coming back and buying the club has finally been extinguished now his supposed backer has gone elsewhere.

Turkish Posted 20 January, 2015 Share Posted 20 January, 2015 I remember Cortese saying several times if he had any doubts the Libeherrs weren't backing his plans for the club he knew plenty of other wealthy people who would. So what happened there then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what happened there then? Katharina happened. The (first?) female Chairwoman of a football club. I thought Cortese was great, but Katharina trumped him!

So what happened there then? He was talking about a situation where the Liebherrs wanted out. Obviously he could never force them to sell if they didn't want to and he never said he could.

Redslo Posted 20 January, 2015 Share Posted 20 January, 2015 I suspect that NC overlooked the possibility that Katharina Liebherr would find out that it was fun owning a well run Premier League team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avenue Saint Posted 20 January, 2015 Share Posted 20 January, 2015 Reckon Cortese wanted to bring this guy in. Sunseeker link too there of course. Something clearly didnt work out with Kaherina perhaps not wanting to sell up. Cortese resigned. This chap went to Spain instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smirking_Saint Posted 20 January, 2015 Share Posted 20 January, 2015 Regardless of the fact the bloke was a complete bellend I cant slag him off too much.

If you want to have greater success as a troll, Turkish, you need to work on the authenticity and tone of your posts. It's so easy to spot when you don't mean what you're writing because it reads so different to the posts that are genuine. Just trying to help. I'm sure you'll get there in the end.

Coxford_lou Posted 20 January, 2015 Share Posted 20 January, 2015 Isn't Ralph the Chairman and Katharina the owner? Yes, you're right, although Katherina was briefly Chairwoman after she ditched Cortese and before she had recruited Ralph. So her most powerful and decisive decision was made while she was Chairwoman. Sometimes, that's all it takes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can also tell, like me, you don't see what on earth that's got to do with brilliant women, doing a brilliant job leading a football club. And because I know that, I'm finding it difficult to react to you trying to be a wind up. But that's OK. Take it as constructive criticism. I mean well!

The new board are a breath of fresh air, and have done superbly after the torrid start to this summer, they have re-engaged with the fans and breathed new life into the side. Unfortunately a lot of the work done early in league 1 to streamline and forge a better run club was necessary, however there wasnt a need to be as much as a grade a ***** as cortese was. And I do have experience of dealing with the bloke, not easy.

Secret Site Agent Posted 20 January, 2015 Share Posted 20 January, 2015 Karen Brady a brilliant woman? The best footballer she could snare was a lower league journeyman, hardly anything to brag about, even Jordan pulled Dwight Yorke And don't forget, she didn't get her job because she was 'brilliant', but because she was already involved in Sullivans' porn empire, he just parachuted her in as his puppet. I would still give her some secret site loving though. There is just something about her. Oh, and she sold her husband, so don't forget that.
