Seriously doubt it. If clubs our size can blow £30mill+ on players each summer and still make a profit I think they all would be doing it.

I can do without stripes for a while.

At least our catering facilities are in safe hands.

Great news, it would be good if now we can have a successful club without he petty personal vendettas.

From what I've been told NC has a stake in the club already.

As I said in the other thread, the only thing that really matters is what Leibherr plans to do with the club, If she is happy to keep investing whoever is Chief Exec is not as big an issue.

That still makes me laugh.

When was the last time you laughed your balls off (or even noticed) when a chairman of another club left? Portsmouth doesn't count.

A great chairman but also a nob.

It could be a disaster but I would be more worried about WHY Cortese left than the fact that he is not there to give his motivational speeches. him going does hint at Leibherr not wanting to fund his vision. Now that IS a problem, a much bigger one that the loss of a good CEO.

I think you will find the main reason Poch, Osvaldo, Wanyama, gaston, lovren and shaw are here is a f*cking sh!t load of money.

Rickie's personal terms being he wants to play for a decent club that plays a good brand of football that's not at the arse end of the league.

what's he tweeted?

Losing Cortese is a blow but I think we should be more concerned about who the Liebherrs sell us to and what debts we will be left with.

yeah obviously. I would hate to be a Man City fan at the moment.

Being a rich person's plaything is the best option IMO, look at City and Chelsea.

It will be a shame if he does leave but we should be more worried about being left with a Pompey-style debt than replacing the bloke who signs the cheques.

Didn't he do this last time he wanted money to spend on players?

It wasn't sold out, there were thousands of empty seats.

I agree we should focus on the cup but i am still thoroughly enjoying the League campaign. With a bit of luck we could catch some of the teams above us and it's great to be able to enjoy the football without the pressure of a relegation scrap. Watching team like West ham and Fulham slug it out is hilarious.

Great, more f*cking traffic lights!

When people start banging on about politics in a science debate you know they are talking agenda driven bullsh!te. Left wing, right wing, it makes no difference, the conservatives, Labour and Lib Dems all share more or less the same views on climate change.

I don't think Cortese wants to sell our best players full stop. He has big ambitions, we are not the saints of old where we have to sell to buy. If Luke tries to egineer a move that's a different story but I don't think we will sell this window regardless.

If you were really clever you would have known that before.
