Barry Sanchez

Him, Rooney and Eriksson have said nothing out the ordinary.

How do you know he is staying? Pure speculation until he has said it.

I think he is off to Milan myself.

This is the real reason Cortese is leaving.

I work in the sex industry and I have not heard this rumour. Sent from my Android C3P0

But only a few ever spoke out about the regime, and they were cast as madmen or out of touch, I think many actually believed Cortese.

Could not agree more with you, Cortese spinning the dream of European football and consistent European football as well as like selling lead as gold, it simply was not sustainable, as long as we have a club to support I could not give a rats arse what a chairman annouces, a load of old **** with no justification. Less talk more walk.

They are not far ahead due to stadium capacity limitations hence they both want to move, I'm jealous of what others have won and ****ed off we have not won more, bigger does not matter you are correct as it can be falsely elevated by huge sums of money ie Chelsea/City, that is not forthcoming so we shall go back to our natural position, accept this Nick and move on, the realistic ones did this years ago. Success, winning things and a large population all play a part in a clubs size, we have not much of any, I accept this and love my team regardless, the expectation level has been falsely raised and naive fans have lapped it up, others clubs are of course trying exactly the same thing as us and they are larger.

The club did not take the League Cup seriously but yes anyone can win the Cup and that is the beauty of it, respect it and try to win it, things we have not done in the past. As far as the League goes thats it, our fans on this have been very naive, the said clubs are an awful lot bigger than us and will always be so unless huge amounts of money are spent, this regime would not do it and its unlikely another one will do.

Spurs and Everton are far far bigger than us its about knowing where we stand, 15th-20th largest in the Country, the glass ceiling has been reached and without huge sums thats it, no more, the game is over. Sad but true.

Without money of course we shall be going backwards, investment is what got us to this place where we are now.

We will never be as big as you want as the Premier League is now in place and the World wants to see United Liverpool City Chelsea Arsenal Spurs Newcastle Everton And many others more than us, this in turn with we dont have as many fans through the gate as them, nor Worldwide fans as them, so the only thing to level the playing field is money and lots of it, the Liebherr's are business people not football fans looking to throw away money. How much have Ambramovich or Sheikh Mansour put in and how much would they get back, its personal pride and ego, they are not like that, its arrogant to believe Cortese got in a hissing fit about it as how much did he put up? This is high as we can ever go without a stella sugar daddy wanting to throw money away, why would they do that here? All we have is being above them, we dont win Cups or trophies, we didn't even try this year in one of them, people need a reality check, we are a small much loved by our own provincial football club that has underacheived for years (name another our size worse) and it will always be that way unless the reason I gave above changes, they were never going to take us to Europe and beyond, how naive and silly are people.

Cortese had money from the Liebherr's to resist, you could do that and so could I, you prove yourself when your hand is weak not when its strong. If the Liebherr's are intent to sell why is Cortese going? Surely he could head up the new buyers regime or at least wait until he see their intent,I think he has walked as there is something for him elsewhere (Milan) and the intent of the Liebherr's to sell gives him the opportunity to leave. The thing is this could start a firesale, as I said built upon sands.

Funnily enough the happier ones are in meltdown over this whereas the more realistic ones saw this a mile of or similar scenarios and are looking forward to simply supporting their club and not the off the field player/board love in, support the club, nothing else matters.

Save some money then on players our 60,000 stadium and our European flight tickets..............................................

It beggars belief that if he goes they all go, well Shaw, Lallana were always going to go as they are on the up, others like the signings he oversaw well where are they going to go to for a profit? They are not so lets keep it balanced in our review of the great football scholar, Pochettino has done well but he had the makings of a good esatblished side before he came here, again the signings since in the main have been gash. The money the Liebherr's put in was key, as is everything, they go we are ****ed, built upon sand.

were built upon sand, one person goes and the whole team wants to leave? Slow and steady or with massive amounts of cash, no other way to do it.

It all depends on the board and if they are staying.

Les Reed is one of those people you simply can never fathom out how they stay in a job, the office always has someone on senior pay yet is absolute ****, this is Leslie Reed.

I can see why she avoids the press...............................

Is it the lady on the left or one of the two guys?

Only just begun - The Carpenters.

Probably eating a bit of humble pie and uncertain as the UK branch of the cult is being disbanded.

Exactly, cheers lego head for all the good work, if you get wealthy backers again come knocking.
