Mr X

I will no doubt get stick for this and while I believe it to be an excellently written statement some of it is definitely the words of her "strong team of advisors" with "tell the fans what they want to hear" being a prominent message. I don't think we can read too much into it but it's definitely refreshing to at least get a to the fans statement

robbbbbbbbbbbbeeeeeeeddddddddddddd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yoshida for lovren......... oh christ we are in trouble

how can you dominate a game and then let them back in it to such a pathetic degree?

we are f u c k e d not even funny now should have put this to bed long ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we are going to end up not getting anything from this if we keep switching off!!!!!!!

Allegedly the club have accepted the 7 million bid from west him and ricky wants to talk to them! could be just paper talk though

Hope we don't pay the price for failing to finish them off, sunderland very much back in the game at 2-1!!!

why why why do saints never make things easy! two nil up and cruising and now this!!!

oh dear!!!!!! comical defending

f u c k sake are you trying to curse us!!!

j rod really improving!

Not jumping on the bandwagon but Do Prado worries me clearly not a premiership player & hasn't done anything of note for years! hope to be proved wrong today though

He probably had a clever clause in his own contract! Haha

He was an employee of his friend and our saviour Markus do you think he thought oh the old gits passed away quick here's my opportunity! He would have known the next inline of the liebherrs would inherit the club. Even a banker of Corteses standing would surely struggle to get a 14 million loan single handedly

No they dont you are of course right but when you have more than two or three signings that don't perform it can become a problem

In summary yes cortese was an egotistical dictator but he made things happen and moved the club up a level he didn't just sit around and make excuses like some chairmen he had real ambitions for the club and though they were perceived as unrealistic he definitely had the drive and stubborness to succeed! SFC will continue but whatever way you look at it its a huge loss in my opinion. Aren't all success full businessmen flawed? They either have tremendous business acumen and no people skills ala Cortese or vice versa or some other compromise!

yeah she's a little fat so what?

Lowe is obviously the ideal candidate and favoured choice of most fans!

Allan sugar? Maybe poach Karen Brady? Haha

The main thing is to stop the rot of bad results we did that on Saturday against west brom, however I feel the rest of our season could hinge on the Sunderland game a battering there and confidence may be un-repairable

you are getting 49 points from including the games he was in charge last season though surely? I am not saying he's a bad manager far from it and definitely an more entertaining way of playing.

I doubt very much he will be here next season whatever happens, got a feeling Katerina won't be either! Good news though that he will see out the job he started. not a bad manager so far but does anyone else feel his 32% win rate isn't particularly great. The high pressing game is good to watch though when it pays off

I guess she may feel she is not the right person to honour that wish as she has declared she has no real interest in football. She had no real reason to meddle in football affairs (as is allegedly reported in the media) though so if that is the case then it is for the good of the club for her to sale. The falling out must have been quite spectacular for cortese to walk away from something he worked so hard for he is not the type of man to do that lightly

Latest is that cortese walked because Katerina issued an "all assets to be sold" statement. Meaning all players of significant value to be sold before the club itself is sold. Doesn't make sense though surely the club is worth more with better players and a manager still. In place?
