Alex Goring Crook ‏@alex_crook 1m Just spoken to a former #epl chairman who tells me the Liebherr family have been trying to sell #saintsfc since last summer

This is a very shrewd reading of the situation

This so-called exodus is being put to the patties in the media by the agents who are hoping for a quick buck. The media, in turn, seem to be delighting in trotting out this 'implosion' story because it is an easy one to write with no substance, and they love to attack a club with ideas 'above its station'. Simple.

Cortese was offered 'vast sum' to stay, but he rejected it, says The Times

Bit disappointing if MP can't see it possibly working without Cortese. Has he no fight?

It's his translator I feel sorry for Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Quite a lot of chauvinism about tonight

I hope she says in it that she has spoken to MP, assured him funds are available, and that he has agreed to stay

That sound you can hear is agents rubbing their hands together with glee Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I wonder if it's arguing about the bonus Cortese was 'promised' if he got certain things (was it European football) in five years? Seem to recall there was something about £4m *worries about poor memory*

True. Hope this is all brinkmanship Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey, Saints! Fancy putting out a statement-ette? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

sounds plausible Funny, we all hated him when he sacked Nigel. Now he seems to be indispensable.

Part of Shaw deal? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Santos, Saints; easy mistake to make

I really hope the club is more ambitious than much of the sentiment here and think it is.

Fair point. I agree.
