Faulty memories, Fran. Think you mean Alan Ball. WGS, told Rupert he was going. Rupert tried to keep him.
Southampton: Nicola Cortese may leave if manager departs Southampton chairman Nicola Cotese says it "would not make sense" for him to stay at the club if manager Mauricio Pochettino leaves the Saints. Cortese told BBC Radio Solent: "The reality is we share a common passion and we share a long-term plan for this club. We share our passion for football and it would not make much sense for me to continue at this club if he is not here. "I do not understand Southampton without Mauricio in the future."
...Fran has now left her keyboard and is madly rushing towards Southampton in an attempt to stop Nicola. please log in to view this image
I would like to think that the time I announced Jay Rodriguez as a Saints player hours in advance of the official announcement, with that secret photo from behind a curtain, prevents me ever falling to "koob" status.
I want one of those tables they had in the bunkers in WWII, but with small models representing the management and team of SFC. Any of them go too near another club and we send in the marines.
Rupert DIDN'T try and keep him . Rupert sided with a player over the manager , WGS said " There are dark things going on at this club " IIRC it was about a certain senior player allegedly taking drugs .............
