But Cortese ran SFC like a small B&B...?

The whole resignation thing is pretty clear. Poch used the clause inserted by Cortese, paid £2m and walked away and into the Spurs job. Simples.

That's a bit disrespectful to her, I feel. It seems fairly common knowledge that they want to keep Mauricio and offered him a deal some weeks ago. If he doesn't want to be here, fine. Same for any player. This club needs a period of stability and if it can be provided in the Premier League, that is superb. You don't need to look too far for examples of clubs who have it far worse than us. Lets judge her based on her own era, by that I mean post-Cortese. Also I'd find it incredibly hard to ever tear into the Liebherr duo after everything they have done for us in the last five years.

This is what the Mirror Editor has said to me in conversation about it:

A Mirror editor has contacted me after posting this online... Says it is anti-Southampton, but for amusement - written tongue in cheek to provoke reaction, and it has done

Deary me, I realise it's meant to be a laugh but... come on, surely they can do better?

The film has cost £19m to make, with £16m provided by FIFA itself.

Rickie, unless he's already established that? Anyway, he'd be the main face for me in any case. Chambers?

Lallana's mate Alex Davison, although I suspect he's probably not 100% on the ball. I personally think AL will go.

Jay was just speaking to Adrian Durham on DriveTime, nothing earth-shattering but worth filing away in the forum... Jay Rodriguez: "It'd be amazing for us to keep the squad that we've got. We've had an amazing season. To go forward we need to." "We don't really know anything at the minute, it's speculation." "There's always going to be speculation at Southampton. At the moment I'm focused on my rehab." "He's unbelievable. Every lad in the team will say what a great manager and a great guy he is." "Obviously I'd be very sad if the manager did go. But it's all speculation and all up in the air at the moment." "It was a shock to see Nicola go. He did brilliantly. Full credit to the lads & staff since we remained focused." "I want to aim as high as I can & work as hard as I can to improve. Hopefully I can make that (EURO2016) happen." "I think it's all about the opportunity that Southampton gives to youngsters. If they're good enough, what does their age matter?" "The academy is a credit to Southampton. It's strange that not every club does it like that."

Tomorrow, Nicola Cortese's exclusive interview with BBC reporter Ben Smith will go online. Well, this will be fun...

Peter Taylor.

Hahahahahahaha. Saint Fan CaM: Hey guys I've got news, it's awful SaintsWeb: Go on then Saint Fan CaM: The sky is falling down! SaintsWeb: Get to the point and tell us Saint Fan CaM: Right, that's it... I'm taking my ball and going home NOW!

Great managers don't dream of managing Southampton.

Roy Keane

It's not a 'brand', so people go for a Nike mock-up, blimey...

I can't see where this guy has got his figures from, doesn't really tie in with Krueger's responsibility/sustainability lines.\ BUT, I do believe in offering Poch a bumper deal (maybe not this much) to keep him, as I think it has become about more than just keeping a manager. In a summer where we could lose Lallana and Shaw, keeping Pochettino is more important than ever.

Credit to the interviewer. He knew just what was coming and how to just flip the tables on Farage. [video=youtube;-pyYoL9ngtE]

I raise you...

To add a little more context, theres a photo online of Pochettino today, with Jesús Pérez (for definite, maybe the others too) at Rancho Steakhouse tonight. Here it is...
