I fear I'm missing something completely obvious here but still none the wiser!

Excuse my ignorance but which former board member are we talking about here? Cheers

A good write up of the session here: http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/10731717.Cortese_lifts_the_lid_on_his_time_at_Saints/?ref=twt

Enjoying the Joey Barton show now?!

Interesting! Cheers for posting

Nabil Hassan ‏@NabilHassan79 Former #Pompey owner Vladimir Antonov is back in court tomorrow (Friday) as he fights extradition to Lithuania accused of a £420m fraud.

Ben Rumsby ‏@ben_rumsby Cortese on his arrival at #sfc: "Using the word ambition was a problem for some people because we were living down on the south coast."

I wonder if Pochettino is his man for the next level or just this one?

And that's a wrap

Palios: "You were criticised when you changed the manager without having someone lined up and also criticised when you had a successor" Cortese: "I know, you can't win (or words to that effect). We had planned the exact day Nigel would be replaced and that's what we did - stuck to the plan, even though he had a run of good results up to that day"

Cortese: "You don't just change a manager for the sake of it. You do it because you have facts within the club that influence your decision. For us it was coming through different leagues and you need someone who fulfills a role at each level. The worst thing for any company is to have a standstill. You have to take a decision even if it is unpopular"

Question now about the managerial changes at Southampton

Cortese: "We are planning on growing our commercial income by 70 - 100% over the next 3 years" He says we need to close the commercial gap between us and Man Utd, Chelsea, etc....he doesn't see it as "unfair" that they have a commercial advantage though, he sees it as a challenge that he relishes which is one of t,he reasons why he voted against "financial fair play" or "unfair financial regulation" as he put it. He was effectively saying that those who can't come up with ways of matching the Man Utds of this world shouldn't be propped up by a financial "fair play" system.

Cortese going over the history of the takeover and saying he found a club with no ambition.

The feed is pretty much unwatchable at the moment....keeps freezing

Just a thought, what's the difference between a "chairman" and an "executive chairman" (in the football world)?

That's probably a question for a certain local investigative journalist. I'm sure he's been keeping a beady eye on things and is crafting a 78 paragraph one page story as we speak...

Cheers CS. Maybe they should employ the services of Mr Hall to speed things up...?
