Roger Posted 15 January, 2014 Share Posted 15 January, 2014 Don't buy it. Was announced 4hrs ago but they've decided to go already? No chance. Also, if it's definite he resigned in oct surely hed tell poch before now. But poch was shocked today when he found out? There's a ton if rubbish being made up. See what comes out tomorrow before i press the panic button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpturner Posted 15 January, 2014 Share Posted 15 January, 2014 Yes I cannot believe that Pochettino did not know about this before today - especially if, as alledged, Cortese resigned three months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 15 January, 2014 Share Posted 15 January, 2014 Yes I cannot believe that Pochettino did not know about this before today - especially if, as alledged, Cortese resigned three months ago. Might explain why Poch has seemed a bit more subdued on the touchline recently? Or he may be angry at Cortese after saying he'd loyally follow him out of the club last May and then only potentially finding out today Cortese has been leaving since October. All complete conjecture at the moment and I doubt we'll ever really know it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wild-saint Posted 15 January, 2014 Share Posted 15 January, 2014 spoke to a friend tonight who went to the saints xmas party a few weeks back. cortese gave a really convincing soeech about the plans for the future which alluded to world domination. He cannot believe that he had already tended his resignation after listening to the passion of his rallying speech. personally i feel tht if he had indicated his intention to leave talks would already be underway with potential replacements and if thats the case then it would have been leaked far earlier than now.

I've offered my services to do the neccesary with that sodding banner... last time was to include Big Ron and remove Keegan... not heard anything back tho so guess I'm not required: I realise that Ron would need to be shifted left and into the correct timeline... the above was a very quick mock-up without the actually PNG or PSD file to play with.

James Posted 16 January, 2014 Share Posted 16 January, 2014 I don't think either will go in this window. But, as much as I love RL £7m for a player of his age and with his goals record this season is a fantastic return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Charlie Posted 16 January, 2014 Share Posted 16 January, 2014 Lambert speculation is odd. He is more likely to start for us than them. They have just re-signed Cole, will also sign Traore and have Carroll fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless SRL is desperately shopping around for a move, then again why would he be doing that because he seemed to be saying completely otherwise only a few weeks back. It's an enigma really.

JoeShmoe Posted 16 January, 2014 Share Posted 16 January, 2014 To be fair a lot of people said before this blew up that we ought to take 7m for SRL (who has really looked his age this season) and 30m for Shaw (a world record fee for a fullback). With or without NC there's a very good argument both would be good business if we can find suitable replacements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
