We we will never know because you say he quit when the tapped was turned off and the "Vision" fell apart. You can speculate at what might have happened all along. The fact of the matter is that you believe once Kat pulled the credit card away after losing faith in his decisions after supporting him on the signings of "Gashton" and Osvaldo he was off. So his vision depended entirely on the support of the person who is still there and you are claiming is part of rabble representing a leadership vaccum.

But you say Kat closed her purse due to losing faith with Corteses decisions. He walked away when the funding stopped. So he was great playing a real life version football manager with a credit card, not so good when it reached it's limit. So his vision wasn't a vision at all. It was a more of a dream completely dependant on the owners who you say had lost faith in him. His 'vision' and that of the owners weren't aligned, if your bosses don't share you vision then it's isn't a vision at all. How would he have kept poch and the Players happy when the purse had been shut? How would he have explained that there was little budget for players this summer? Do you not think everyone would have seen the reality of his vision unfolding then so he got out whilst he could and play the hero saying none of it would have happened on his watch months later?

Good man, now were getting somewhere! So she closed her purse due to losing faith in the CEO, his decisions and his squandering of £27m + wages of her money did she? Surely if that's the case then it's good news he's all round he's gone and you were right about Cortese when you said other chairman saw him coming and he ran us like a crappy seaside B&B. so why the bleating from you they you wish he was still here?

Han on a minute. You were slagging 'gashton' off and I asked you who found him and agreed his contract and who has failed to get the best out of him. You the went into a fat fingered keyboard thumping rant about Kat. So is she to blame for signing Ramirez and Osvaldo or not? It's quite simple, you implied she was.

So Katrina was to blame for signing those players was she?! As for closing her purse, so you're saying cortese was fine as CEO when he had access to the Liebherrs credit card but when the going got tough, when he actually had to make a bit of cash rather than simply spend it on The signings Katrina wanted to make he back to Italy. That is genius tubby, even by your standards

Is that his fault? Who scouted him? Who signed him? Who offered him the contract on that much money? Who hasn't been able to get the best out of him? Same with Osvaldo. The worst signing our club has ever made considering the fees involved yet no one will attach any blame to the former chairman and manager using the 'every club makes bad signings' mongboard get out clause. It's not like the warning signs weren't there with him though was it.

Cortese admitted that we couldn't compete with the top clubs financially and said we would have to find another way to compete at the top, 'not if but how' so do we take it he couldn't and he quit as soon as the tap was turned off? So much for finding another way.

He certainly looks the part. Every inch the premier league manager. The likes of Sean Dyce, Redknapp, Pardew etc will be well beaten before they've chosen their zonal or man marking defensive system for dead balls.

Then quit before you have to make good on your promises, then do an interview 5 months later saying how different it would have been had you stayed, perhaps?

What is superb is the way you've spent the last 5 years predicting failure after failure, meltdown and doomsday in dramatic fashion dressed up as 'being frustrated'. Now something has gone slightly wrong you're loving it. Cracked open a multi pack of Mars bars in celebration fatty?

Oh yeah, And assurances we would never ever sell anyone of course.

We so have some proper helmets for fans. The reaction on here is laughable 'I'm done with saints' 'all fart and no sh*t' because a manager who has twice before in 18 months talked about quitting finally has. If he doesn't want to be here let him do his year at spurs and get someone here who does want to be here.

Exactly this. They offered him a contract weeks ago, he wanted to leave and did. Other than issuing a statement saying this, which I'm sure the freaks who having been slating the new board from the minute they started would have found fault with, what more could they do?

Oh f*ck off you whinging c*nts

If you've got time and energy to do this whilst on the exercise bike you clearly arent focused on the exercise you are doing and won't be doing that at a heart rate and effort level high enough either to burn fat or increase cardiovascular endurance. You may have well have just sat on your arse to be honest. Thanks for the stats though.

Stick it on twitter this morning it'll be In the red tops by tea time.

We would. We are aiming for top 6, the trophy was the league cup which is beneath us, the Europa cup final was the final of a pointless competition we don't want to be in.

2 point infraction for a sexist comment chalet.

I can't be arsed to reply to everyone. The board have given a statement stating the position. Poch has said he will sort his situation out in the summer. The season finished 3 weeks ago. Everything else is speciation based on the media, the same media that has predicted for months and meltdown and mass exodus. Poch may go, if he does then he doesn't want to be here and let's get someone who does and move on with someone committed to club not the pipe dreams of a former employee.

The soap awards are on Adrian.

So it's gone from stalling on a new deal for months to being offered one before the season ended in about 3 posts You say yourself there could be anyone of a number of reasons, yet speculate that it's because we can't convince him to sign. Maybe he wants a few quid more. Maybe he wants a few million more on the budget. Maybe he wants assurance that hell have all the money if anyone is sold. What we do know is that the board have said they are comfortable with the current situation and Poch has said for everyone to stop panicking, of course lets just make things up.

You said players will be angling for a move in the summer. So who is? Surely some must have out in transfer requests by now given the shambles going on behind the scenes.

If the manager and board are currently negotiating his new deal and budgets etc but nothing is finalised then why would they ring the players to tell them that nothing has been agreed yet? "Hi Adam, just interrupting your training in Portugal to tell you I've got nothing to tell you'

Exactly this. If people really are stupid enough to believe that Man united and Liverpool wouldn't want to have signed shaw and lallana and they wouldn't want to have gone because Cortese was still here then they're mental.

I'm comfortable with the statement that came out of the club and ignoring the speculation. What is it he's uncertain about? You know for a fact he's stalling on signing the deal on the table, what's the reason?
