Wise words, very true.

All right you smooth talking bugger, you've talked me into it. Good luck.

There are a few paupers on here who can vouch for that.

Because Markus is no longer with us?

Bit of a balls up really. Enough to get rid of the chairman that was responsible?

You have to be very careful about these things. I have had a close look at the photos and I reckon Katharina could be Nicola in drag. Have you ever seen them in a photograph or the same room together at the same time? I think not.

Good plan, just don't sign anything before the nuptials, even if she goes down on her knees and...

'Chairman' is gender neutral and in my view is the correct word. Much better than 'chair' which I though was something you sat on.

It's a private company. The only people who need to know WFTIGO are the players and coaching staff for the time being.

I was talking a year or so ago to somebody who used to have a box all through the lower leagues. As soon as we got promoted to the Premier the prices rocketed so he complained and was dismissed out of hand by Cortese. He told him where to get off and didn't renew.

I've found the original article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2540898/Pochettino-ready-walk-Saints-faces-fight-hold-30m-rated-Shaw-Chelsea-City-hover.html 'Cortese, who intends to return to St Mary’s as chairman of another Barclays Premier League club, faces a massive compensation battle with Liebherr. Although, technically, he resigned, the Liebherr family are still negotiating a settlement.'

Snippet from The Mail today: 'Cortese, who intends to return to St Mary's as chairman of another Barclays Premier League club, faces a massive compensation battle with Liebherr.'

I tend to agree, the potential maximum for Leeds is greater than Southampton.

Need you ask? I can't be fussy.

That seems reasonable.

If Cortese really is interested in buying the club and has access to someone then why would they go for Southampton FC? They would presumably have to pay the going rate and all the big gain in capital value has already been achieved. Wouldn't it make more sense to go for another club with the prospect of more added value? He's already done it once with Saints and would probably feel that he could do it again. Alternatively if the prospective new owner has ambitions of European football and mega bucks (which they would need) then couldn't they go for a more established club higher up the table?

Whilst I have no immediate plans to enter football management, if my adoring supporters should decide that I would be ideally suited to the role then I might reluctantly be persuaded to step into the vacancy despite any misgivings that I might previously have held.

I'd jump 'er

Maybe he was owed an amount under an original agreement and wanted a lot more?

Boredom would be good. There's a chinese curse: 'May you live in interesting times'.

Er... I think that's why a lot of people are extremely worried.

I think I tend to agree. He didn't get what he wanted (money) and stormed out in a hissy. Sod the stripes, sort out the car park charges first.

Relax people. KL will come to our games and see the team in a new light. She will be swept up in the enormous wave of love and support that we fans will show for her in a way that could never have happened for Cortese and she will be converted to the true faith. After touring our wonderful city looking for a place of her own she will be captivated by the charms of the area and the warmth of the reception wherever she goes. She now has total control over the club and can steer us wherever she chooses without interference from that 'nasty little man'. Don't you see? It's all down to us. We can make that difference. What could go wrong?
