    Can't Cortese just get one of his sensible, wealthy friends to buy us? I reckon Berlusconi would be interested...

    Don't understand this. As an investor you want your Chief Executive to make the right decisions, manage your company and ultimately grow your investment. Not sure they could improve on his exploits...

    All very well, but if Liebherr does not want to sell... she won't.

    I laughed, poor old Lukey. The players at Staplewood are probably the only ones who don't know about the ****storm that is occurring.

    If all of this comes to a conclusion with a new CEO I hope to goodness it is someone that allows the Club to react with its fans, the one thing that has really bugged me over the NC tenure is the annoying secrecy and lack of respect for the fan base.

    Katharina would be making a big mistake in leting Nicola go, there is no one more capable and competent to run Southampton football club.

    But if they can't find common ground, it's probably for the better to resolve this situation sooner rather than later.

    We've been spoilt really, the last few years.

    But this writing has been well and truly on the wall since Markus passed away in 2010.

    We can just wait...

    I will be so pissed off if Cortese leaves, it will be the end of the Markus Liebherr reign which will be a ****ing shame

    So Katharina wants more of a say? Is it possible that she's trying to get someone to replace Cortese as Chairman and bring her own man/woman in?

    No. She would have accepted his resignation were that the case.

    Aside from its bastard owner, who I think is probably amongst the nastiest, most manipulative media moguls in history [and I will never tire of reminding people about that], if there is anything that drives me up the wall about Sky Sports News, it's that every time I switch a stream off, after hearing no news of any item I've expressly tuned in for, they go and announce the very thing I've been waiting for. My timing and Sky's timing just do not coincide. Mind you, he ain't getting any of my money, so I don't suppose I can expect any service.

    Oh, and another thing... when they announce coming up.., you know you've got only enough time for a short holiday. :)

    BTW, something is definitely coming up, so leave for that holiday right now, otherwise you might not get back in time.

    What we don't want is a patsy for the Liebherr's that's clueless about football......

    Agreed. It's understandable to some extent. It's one thing Markus allowing his close friend total control of their pet project. Katharina allowing someone she may not know very well total control of her £100m football club is a very different thing.

    Suppose that's a good sign that she knows his importance.
