hypochondriac

The barrage of rumours about virtually our entire first team leaving on a daily basis that have been released by cortese and the PR company are obviously not all true.

We should also bear in mind that this reasonable façade and fair comment is being done whilst also leaking a load of destabilising rumours to the press according to journalists. That puts a different complexion on matters.

How did he propose keeping all the players together with no financial support from Katherina?

It's obvious we are going to lose Shaw and probably Adam shortly. Looking like Pochettino too.

As I predicted absolutely nothing controversial but the timing of this says a lot more than the words do.

What does the ex chairman have to do with the club now?

For what purpose?

The bit at the end was the most accurate prediction.

I can understand the curiosity but you won't get the honest reason and even if we do it won't do anything other than provide even more speculation and destabilising influences.

That's exactly what I said. Not a chance will he say anything controversial.

Can't imagine what he could say that would be especially noteworthy unless he is angling for Katherina to sell to him (which I doubt.) I expect it will be a similar sort of thing to that PR piece just before he left i.e. bigging himself up and saying how everything will be destroyed now he is not there.

Agree that anything he has to say is of little interest and will only serve to cause more speculation and destabilise things. He isn't coming back so he should not say anything at this time.

Good shout. As valid an idea as any other. I still reckon he may pop up abroad though his move to AC Milan has gone suspiciously quiet. Almost as if it was entirely fabricated...

27 million in transfers to pay, liabilities to the owners and not being able to spend enough without selling to convince people to stay.

We would with no money.

Nah. I reckon his PR company will tell him to come across reasonably whilst painting himself as the victim. Probably angling for another job in football.

The story that both sides want us to hear. Doubt we will ever get the actual truth. Imo katherina got rid of Nic cos she got a load of complaints from people that he was a massive cock and she didn't want a company she was responsible for behaving like that. Of course no one will admit that though.

What a cock that man is. Ridiculous pr rubbish.

From a pr perspective, the club are not currently doing great.

That's the statement I want. The reasons they have left should tell us a lot, doubt we will get any detail though sadly.

Even I would like a statement now as it seems that something has happened.

Quite concerned now. Also with the lack of communication and transparency and getting rid of two coaches who are 'one of us.' How many actual football people are going to be left?

Err except treble his earnings, play alongside world class players, world class manager, massive chance to get champions league next season, much more likely to be challenging for trophies.

Well would seem very unlikely to be one of the new people. Possibly the finance bloke who everyone said was inexperienced anyway?
