Gingeletiss Posted 18 May, 2013 Share Posted 18 May, 2013 Never really a panic, only by those having knee jerk reactions based on very little fact. Hell! one even posted a picture of a 'humble' pie, for all us 'happy clappers' to indulge in, no doubt he has scoffed the lot, but don't hold you breath, that he will be on to say how wrong he was, the tiresome bore.

Charlie Wayman Posted 18 May, 2013 Share Posted 18 May, 2013 Great news but I wish he had acknowledged the unwavering support of fans during this whole debacle. Come on Nicola we are a huge part of "all one united" in our endeavours as well as "everyone at the club". When it mattered we, the fans, were with you all the way.

stthrobber Posted 18 May, 2013 Share Posted 18 May, 2013 It is good news. I didn't ever think he was in danger of leaving, but IMO the statement on the club's site is very carefully worded. Makes me think Il Duce has to tread on eggshells around Ms Leibherr, but I guess the family aren't as on side as ML was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Tender Posted 18 May, 2013 Share Posted 18 May, 2013 Great news. A real relief after a few nail-biting days, but I was reasonably confident that it would all be resolved satisfactorily. For all those who worried that the uncertainty would affect our chances of buying the best players in the summer, the clarification of the support from Katharina Liebherr actually makes that position better than it was.

CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 18 May, 2013 Share Posted 18 May, 2013 We're long on speculation and short on facts yet again, but if I were the owner of a significant business then I'm not so sure I'd appreciate seeing an employee of mine so publicly employ 'strong arm' tactics against me. This kind of thing is not conducive to harmonious long term relationships - not that Don Cortese has ever been overly concerned about that. But at least we appear back on a even keel for now, so back to football ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
