St_Tel49 Posted 16 January, 2014 Share Posted 16 January, 2014 A few months back I posted on here that Cortese was in London holding meetings with potential new owners. The plan I believe has been work in progress for some time. He wants to have complete control of the club. He is planning on heading the purchase of the club with his very good friend Dalian Wanda. There is no way on earth the man would have done everything he has done to date at the training ground etc and walk away. He has used KL money to build it to a standard where it would be more attractive to purchase and would be cheaper to buy it with the work already completed rather than buy the club and use the new money to have it done. As much as I would like to see him gone for good in afraid I think his return will be sooner rather than later. Its common knowledge KL has only kept the club to keep Marcus 9 year old grandson happy as he has become a saints fan. He on occasions flys in with his friend and shaperone to watch matches. And to date he has been the reason she has not sold it on He also with his attention to detail planed his 3 months notice to fall in the transfer window. I believe they were happy to wait till the end of the season but a disagreement with kl in this transfer window has speeded things up. This is why poch is hanging on as its expected if kl doesn't dig her heals in they will soon be in each others arms again. http://www.cityam.com/article/1378945247/sunseeker-buyer-wanda-has-5bn-year-invest-overseas Don't shoot the messenger! These things can fall apart as quick as they start but only time will tell! WHy would we shoot the messenger? - as far as I am concerned this is good news ... if true.

Matthew Le Tissier Posted 16 January, 2014 Author Share Posted 16 January, 2014 If you wanted to read into it a little more then its a bit of a coincidence that just as cortese handed in his resignation was the time we struck up a partnership deal with sunseeker Some might say this was a smoke screen so any publicised meetings were just a part of day to day business rather than the possibility of something bigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Duckhunter Posted 16 January, 2014 Share Posted 16 January, 2014 My oldest lad works at sunseeker and this rumour has been all over the ship yard for a couple of days. Although why the workers would have any insight into the owners investment portfolio is beyond me.

JackanorySFC Posted 17 January, 2014 Share Posted 17 January, 2014 Cortese didn't drag the players out to the boat show to be seen all over the sunseekers for nothing. Rumour has it shortly after a few had nice sunseekers as well! I'm sure the truth will come out one way or another I work closely with Sunseeker, have done for many years. This is complete b******s. Literally everything you've mentioned is either massively sensationalised (Cortese "dragging" the players to a photoshoot long planned by marketing dept as part of sponsorship deal) or just randomly made up (no Saints players were given lol, or bought a Sunseeker after or during the show). Your ignorance of Sunseeker's parent company and it's ownership structure is, frankly, staggering. Look pal, it's clear you have some sort of agenda but try not to lie eh. Not cool.

"The agreement includes Sunseeker branding on the clubs newly-installed luxury dugout seats, which fans got their first look at during Saturdays game against Wigan Athletic." When was the last time we played Wigan at St Marys, Einstein? And what have those Sunseeker logos been doing on the seats for the last year or so if the deal has just been agreed?

James Posted 17 January, 2014 Share Posted 17 January, 2014 This thread was never going to go well when the OP referred to Dailan Wanda as Cortese's good friend and then immediately claimed to know that DW was in fact a company. I can't think of many companies that I'm 'friends' with.... Also, he's clearly just googled "Southampton F.C" and "Sunseeker" - pasted the links and then tried to fit it all into a fabricated story....

There when Franny scored Posted 17 January, 2014 Share Posted 17 January, 2014 Gutted when i read your post but I did then wonder if that was because of their family skiing trip that he's just come back from? Someone suggested on the "MP staying" thread that it may be to protect them from the public spotlight from the fall-out after he left as well. Personally, I hope he comes back. I enjoyed having such a dogmatic, determined immune to the "old boys", "not a football man" network and antiquated ways of running a football club. To me, it appears unlikely a new chairman will be as successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, they have shown a bit more interest in the Woolston site than that story makes out. And Dalian Wanda are into football, they sponsor the Chinese league. And they are investing heavily in the UK. Who knows, maybe MLT got it right accidentally Or maybe he read the many pages discussing Wang Jianlin on the "Cortese to go?" thread two days ago? It all started with this post here: http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?48549-Cortese-to-go&p=1855050#post1855050 Hi all. I have just read this thread from start to finish and have seen nothing of a rumour I heard at the Burnley match recently. At the time I thought nothing of it, but given recent developments there may be (or maybe not) something to it. I was told that the guy who owns Sunseeker (official team partner, I believe) are lining up to take over the club from the Liebherr family. There was a sticking point over the valuation that was holding things up though. At the time I shrugged it off as terrace talk and took it with a pinch of salt. Like I said though, this is a rumour I heard and it may be absolutely nothing. That said, I thought it may be relevant to the thread so shared it.

Patrick Bateman Posted 17 January, 2014 Share Posted 17 January, 2014 i for one dont think we've seen the last of Cortese. Of course not. Not a bad thing if he comes back with someone with even more money, but of course, if he doesn't, then I'd rather be backed by someone who "isn't interested in football but is worth $3bn"? All hypothetical of course. You can well imagine he had in Pochettino's ear to tell him to hang on longer while he gets his sh*t together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
