Why should she have to do that? She has owned the club for a while and from her perspective all that has happened is that one of her employees has resigned and she is now seeking a replacement. She has told us of the resignation and the search for a successor. All this about her wanting to sell is pure speculation. Unless of course, you expect her to update us on her plans on a weekly basis? If you were expecting nothing then a statement that there are no plans to sell any players this window must have come as a nice surprise. Wouldn't you agree?

Well what exactly did you expect her to say?

The statement is as much as we could possibly hope for yet the usual suspects on here disregard it and argue semantics. Typical. Enjoy believing we are in meltdown lads.

This thread was never going to go well when the OP referred to Dailan Wanda as Cortese's good friend and then immediately claimed to know that DW was in fact a company. I can't think of many companies that I'm 'friends' with.... Also, he's clearly just googled "Southampton F.C" and "Sunseeker" - pasted the links and then tried to fit it all into a fabricated story....

i agree, with everything that's gone on I'm looking forward to a reaction. 3-1 Saints.

He means that the same set of players will be playing against Sunderland as against WBA...not that it will be anyone's last game!

Thank god for that. MP you hero. Seemed bullish on suggestions players would leave as well.

I never said he definitely was staying...

He may make a statement in the PC.... I hope he does so we can express our gratitude on Saturday.

I don't think either will go in this window. But, as much as I love RL £7m for a player of his age and with his goals record this season is a fantastic return.

Probably on Twitter or passed on by someone in the know. It clearly isn't the latest from any credible source.

Well said. This thread is 14 pages long and a number of "experts" have assured us that MP is going, all players are going and the club is to be asset stripped. Fact is, nobody knows anything and I could boil down the amount of "fact" in this thread to around 3 lines of text...

Pure speculation.

Where has that been reported?!

MP fast on his way to becoming a legend. Can't see many senior players leaving whilst MP is committed. We may still lose a couple but we may have sold shaw and even lambert had NC stayed...

If true, this is absolutely stellar news.

No it wasn't due to Strachan leaving, it was due to poor managerial decisions made subsequently, unlucky results in our relegation season and injuries to key players. I'm confident the repercussions won't repeat themselves. Seriously, the CHAIRMAN has left the football club - this is being blown massively out of proportion. Yes he was important to us, but the whole idea that the club has suddenly/is about to implode is just utter nonsense that the usual trolls on here are absolutely lapping up/revelling in.

I don't understand why everyone suggests that the club are going to flog all the players for peanuts. Clearly those who are suggesting this have next to no business acumen. Does everyone not realise that it is KL's best interest to get the best possible price?

I think MP will stay. There isn't another job for him to walk into at the moment and a lot has changed since last summer when he had only been here 5 minutes. Maybe NC's last act was to convince him to stay. If he were to go though, then I'd at least expect him (and any unsettled players for that matter) to wait until a new CEO is appointed. Who says we can't get someone equally ambitious? Its a real shame NC is gone and much more of a shame that he's gone in a window but he's hardly the only competent CEO out there...

He is, I would literally love to hear his reasoning. They aren't the ones who decided to pay transfer fees or give themselves large contracts are they? Honestly.

We will get 10 more points even with a few departures...

As much as I like MP - it is a bit much to say he's our best manager of the last 25 years! But hey, you're in the mood to over exaggerate literally everything today...don't let common sense stop you...

That's not Shaw's account....

Until its confirmed by the club I'll take my chances. I remember it getting pretty close last summer and then that all turned out fine. As I say, nobody has any idea what is going on behind the scenes, so no use guessing. Feel free to see the worst possible outcome ahead of time though, it will only cause you stress.

Nobody is denying that, but at this stage NC hasn't actually left (or at least it hasn't been confirmed by SFC). I also think that jumping to the conclusion that MP and several of our top players will now leave is just assuming that the worst possible scenario will play out. Who knows what is going on behind the scenes? I don't think anyone really does, least of all the journos who are making the front page with this stuff.
