Off today so can't help on Cortese story. What I would say, though, is that @BenSmithBBC's sources at #SaintsFC top table are strong.
As a fellow journalist, I suspect he is telling the truth.
Of course we don't but we have no definite scenario whereby everything will go to sh*t were Cortese to leave, which was my point. Thanks for being civil BTW.
It may well make it harder I don't deny that. It isn't simply a case of everything being amazing under Cortese and then suddenly everything being terrible under someone else. That may not be the case at all.
I was giving an imaginary scenario. Lets ignore the fact I said Everton and replace it with a proven and decent chairman who has had success in football?
So then what would you think if we got a chairman who is proven and decent chairman who has had success in football? Clear enough?
Lol. These twitter revelations have been one giant slap in the face to the usual suspects on here. You can tell they are absolutely hating it. Here have some pie:
I wasn't suggesting we would poach another teams chairman. I was using those as examples of successful chairman who are currently in football. I didn't think it was difficult to understand.
Because believe it or not members of the Liebherr family have attended social functions at the club and have been in boxes when the ex player has been in attendance.
It was an example of the type of proven and decent leader of a club that we could possibly go for if Cortese were to leave. Not for a moment did I suggest that we would attract Bill Kenwright. Jesus...
