these rumours will not go away until Cortese comes out and denies them outright, as long as the club come out with the line ''No comment'' then you have got to believe there is something bubbling.

It was announced on the FL show last night (not sure how much they are in the know) ''There will be a meeting on Wednesday to discuss his future'' not sure what there is to discuss though....he's done a fine job and wants to be here.

Cortese was there, was stood in the directors box - 100%

Poor IMO. should have scored and completely missed the goal, hasn't improved since he left us. Will hopefully get some confidence from scoring in L2 though, good level for him to find his feet.

tbf he was pretty **** for us. His performance v Bristol Rovers in the cup will always haunt me.

what a kick on the ******** for Pards, totally and utterly unfair if it happens. Hughes is a good manager, I'm not doubting that - but if we go about replacing him in this way, when there is actually no need, then someone needs to have a word with themselves.

which if true is mental. We all appreciate what he's done for us (finances etc) but this season has been far from a faluire. we all saw his huge smiles at Wembley, so i kind of find the solent reason hard to believe.

good thread. he isn't going anywhere btw

nope, he wasn't there.

we've already signed a RB

nahhhh, we don't want sensible explanations like that

Confirmation from Poyet - '"I want to thank Calde because he helped us a lot. "Unfortunately I'm very disappointed because he has chosen to wait for an offer from Southampton and not to sign for us with everything agreed. "The disappointment is big. Everything was agreed. "It was only the contract to sign but he decided to wait for a possible offer from another club in this division. "The club is Southampton, who we cannot compete with. "We clarified a few weeks ago that if somebody thinks we are the Chelsea or Manchester City in the division, we are not. That is Southampton. "If they are going to buy the players and pay more than the rest there is nothing we can do about it. "We have withdrawn the offer. "We don't accept players agreeing contracts and not signing. "We are a proper club and he had until midnight yesterday but the offer is gone and he is not going to be our player. "I can promise you that.

''Southampton's turnover is always going to be much higher than ours but I didn't think they were out of the financial MIRE just yet. At least we have stability. Hope he bankrupts them '' :rolleyes:

http://northstandchat.com/showthread.php?t=174718 looks like a done deal, confirmed on the radio down there. they're gutted...

absolutely top class player, has been massive for them since signing. top bit of business if true.

possibly because he couldn't get a flight? /or may not have been able to get back. British airspace is about to close again according to reports.

1-1 now, really good game to watch. Could go either way this tie...

good - didn't do anything wrong last week.

that's the rumour doing the rounds.

they're like this irritating little leach, that just will not let go. Just clings on and keeps hanging in there somehow... i still think they're screwed, even if they start next year on 0 - there is no way they will be able to get in players of the quality to get them promoted - and the longer they stay down there it will get even harder.

Sheffield Wednesday want to keep him (he's been on loan there) but he's a player that Pard's bought from Crewe (i think?) when he was at Charlton, so not surprised to see us linked as he's available. not sure he's the type of forward we need though.

yep. in any normal season (and in all the leauges other than L1) we would be going into the last game v Southend with a chance of finishing 6th. but we could be 10pts off. crazy season.

load of rubbish IMO. connolly has been good for us, but injured way too often - cannot see a club like Leicester offering him a contract if im honest. He'll be here next season. Why would Norwich want Lee Holmes? They're well equiped down their left side with Hoolahan and Lapin. (+ holmes is always injured and has only played 3 games this year for us)

so even if they add-back the 9 points, they would be above those 6 teams would they? oh.

who's saying the plan has not be followed? was it promotion or bust this year? i think not. this year was always about spinning the club around and get it moving in the right direction, if that ended in promotion that would have been a bonus - but we gave it a damn good go anyway.
