    If there's a disagreement, I can understand that but NC should wait until the summer to go rather than possibly leaving the club in a lurch. Especially if he's taking MP with him. If he's absolutely positive that his vision is correct and the owners don't see it, then he can also wait to be sacked. Really wouldn't hurt his career as people can see what he's done and public sentiment would largely be on his side.

    Threatening to resign or actually resigning is a bit diva-ish to me. But I don't have all the facts, or really any facts so we'll just have to see. It all seems very strange to me right now and doesn't add up.

    Jim Lucas normally runs them, and he's on holiday - I guess one of the other guys can fill in.

    Wouldn't surprise me if Saints didn't air it themselves.

    talkSPORT are discussing Southampton, live at 4pm.

    Starting with... Cortese hands in resignation and Pochettino said he would follow suit. Where is the loyalty to Saints fans?

    Everyone relax. We'll just bring in Pantaleo Corvino. Or, in a pinch, Damien Comolli. Always works on Football Manager!

    You know, I've been amazed how reasonable I've felt all day. Feeling positive, energetic, etc.., but suddenly I don't think I'm going to be able to keep my earlier lunch down.

    I have just been "informed" by a friend who is "ITK" that we are to be sold to an outfit called Dalian Wanda owned by a rather wealthy chap called Wang Jianlin.

    There is no credence to this information other than it would appear to be no more or less reliable than anything reported so far in the media.

    Dalian Wanda is the parent company of a Southampton sponsor, Sunseeker.

    Exactly. All the media outlets are quoting Pochettino's comments from a year ago because they have nothing else.

    That probably wouldn't be the worst thing that could happen since Dalian Wanda is craaaazy rich, and also have experience in owning football clubs.

    Chris Perry giving some insight on life at Saints, on talkSPORT...

    "A change at the top of the club now would be catastrophic."

    "Cortese came in and had big plans and pretty much a free-reign. He's achieved pretty much every ambition he's had."

    "He wants them to be a regular top six side."

    "He's a little bit disappointed that they want some interference in his work at the club."

    "I can understand the players' loyalty. To be fair to Nicola he really looked after the players in League One."

    "He went out of his ways to keep the likes of Morgan Schneiderlin and Adam Lallana at the club."

    "Markus Liebherr obviously handed it down with the best intentions. I don't think Katharina has bad intentions."

    "I just don't think she understand what she's getting herself into."

    "I don't think she understands how to run a football club. It's a no-brainer, you let Nicola get on with running it and just keep an eye on it."

    Wang Jianlin is the richest person in China, according to Wiki.

    He'll do.
