Batman Posted 15 January, 2014 Share Posted 15 January, 2014 will he back his words up? if he does leave, can only think he will after the game on sat. or even end of the season? should he and NC leave, then that may be bad news but will MP leave. If so, who would you want to come in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 15 January, 2014 Share Posted 15 January, 2014 It's really hard to say at the moment. I think he was being loyal to NC back in May, and a lot of it was very PR driven if we're honest. At the end of the day he's an employee of Southampton FC, not of Nicola Cortese. Of course, there will be huge questions in terms of the direction/finances/ambition etc, but that's something that will only be answered in time. I think it would show a lot more respect for everyone, if the staff, players, manager etc rallyed around and put us in the best possible position come the summer - for whatever happens.

Lord Duckhunter Posted 15 January, 2014 Share Posted 15 January, 2014 If he wants to leave because of a change of boss, he can **** off now as far as I concerned. I want people managing the club that want to manage Southampton Football Club, not manage for Nicola Cortese. Same with the players. Anyone who goes now before knowing what's going on, what direction the club is going and who will be owning it/managing it, is using it as an excuse to get out IMO.

The players will have a better idea what's going on and why NC fell out with the daughter. If they are concerned, there's a decent chance that it's because the daughter doesn't have the same ambitions for the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monosaint Posted 15 January, 2014 Share Posted 15 January, 2014 I was once advised by a colleague never make a career decision on the basis of the existing Manager because it's likely that he also has a career plan and will just as easily move on.

Mature- have you ever been in a job where you've felt personally committed to a manager perhaps because they took a chance with you, helped your development etc. MP's reaction is only human. It's certainly more honorable than jumping ship because some other outfit has offered you more cash. Edited 15 January, 2014 by shurlock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berkshiresaint Posted 15 January, 2014 Share Posted 15 January, 2014 Right NC did some great things for this club but he was only an employee. KL owns the club players and manager work for the club if MP leaves is it really going to make much difference in the grand scheme of things? I would be more worried if KL left, it's their money that has got us where we are. People are bed wetting over nothing. The club goes on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M271 Posted 15 January, 2014 Share Posted 15 January, 2014 I would like to think that MP atitude will have changed since his statements last May when he had only been here for 4 months. He should have more allegience and connection now to the club, players, supporters not just to Cortese especially after seeing his plans showing such success in the early part of the season. I think that he would stay if the plans for 'the project' have stayed much the same but would leave if the ambition has changed by losing Cortese.

ART Posted 15 January, 2014 Share Posted 15 January, 2014 From the Daily Mail 'Out: Pochettino is ready to leave Southampton and follow chairman Nicola Cortese Pochettino intends to quit the club in support of Cortese, but the Italian banker had been pleading with him to stay and see the job through. A number of players - who all bought into the dream of playing Champions League football at Southampton - are furious with developments. Some of them are planning transfer requests and the agreements from young players to honour their commitment to stay at the club is now in jeopardy. Liebherr has engaged her lawyers over the past few weeks to engineer her move into power and that is likely to be confirmed before the weekend. Pochettino, who replaced Nigel Adkins as Southampton manager on January 18 2013, intends to quit after the weekend’s fixture at the Stadium of Light.

SNSUN Posted 15 January, 2014 Share Posted 15 January, 2014 "Stay til the summer" I wonder if the theory of Cortese returning to buy the club has any sway in Pochettino's decision to stay, if he indeed does. Maybe I'm just looking for silver linings. My greatest worry is losing the players that SFC has so lovingly grouped together. Lovren, Wanyama, Clyne, Shaw, Lallana and Morgan in particular would be great losses, virtually irreplaceable. I'm not panicking..... yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
