Please please please stay Nicola and Mauricio! We have had exciting times these last few years since Markus bought our club. Let's not let it all go to waste. It would be heartbreaking if we went downhill now. Please the Liebherr family give Nicola what he wants - you cannot afford to lose him - he is the one that is making the club a success. He is one of the best. We need to get this sorted out quickly otherwise we are going to lose our best players and miss out on the ones we are targeting. Please don't leave us Nicola!

Completely agree with this sentiment. Cortese is very important to the future of the club and has been instrumental in getting us this far. Hope the Leibherr trust sees how important he has been to this clubs success and give him what he wants so he can turn is into the multi-million pound profit making club we could me.

Agree0 Disagree0

Just wondering were would nicola and Mauricio go. ain't like you can choose a team you are chairman and manager of no matter wot contacts you got let's face it he is playing hardball
and the manager is backing his boss
neither is going anywere

Agree0 Disagree0

Reports starting to circulate that NC HAS reached agreement with trust and will stay and continue to move club forward. Great news now we can focus on building strength of team for next season. COYR

Agree0 Disagree0

They're staying don't worry!

Agree0 Disagree0

Multi millions! next you will saying you can be champion league regulars what a deluded lot you are lol

Agree0 Disagree0

BOOM! IT WAS NEVER IN DOUBT. WAS IT? Katharina and Nicola have sorted it and the project/vision, our future, is secured. Bring on stage 4, getting into Europe by winning something.

Agree0 Disagree0

I can really see us signing Robert Firmino in the transfer window*. Hoffenheim look VERY likely to get relegated tomorrow and we've shown interest before.

*Entirely dependant of course on whether or not this business with Cortese and the Trust gets sorted of course.

Am I the only one worried about what will happen to us if NC leaves with both MP and Morgan saying they would then also leave :s just don't want to see us slide down again

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I hate to say it, but if Cortese leaves which could very well happen, I can see us collapsing to an extent and not recovering for a few years. Too much instability at the top and the consequences it would have for managers and players would be too much to be able to deal with it in one season.

In short, please stay Nicola, we love you!

Agree0 Disagree0

Can anyone telll me why supporting Southampton FC always seems to be a million times harder than following almost any other club? I have supported the Saints for nearly 30 years and I have always been proud to take my shirt and my scarf on all maneuvers and postings, But in last few days after all the dark years I honestly think that supporting the Saints is just getting to hard.

Agree0 Disagree0

Pleasure is not about speed! The wait will be worth it.

Enough about my sex life.

Just remember there are worse things in life-you could have decided to be a skate!

Possible squad for next year
Keepers:
Gazzaniga, Boruc, Davies
RB's:
Clyne, Gamez

CB's:
Fonte, Yoshida, Forren, Astori/Sane/Kouyate/Anderwield

LB's:
Shaw, Rose, Taggert?

RW's:
Puncheon, Wellington-Nem/Firmino

CM's:
Cork, Shneiderlin, Biglia, Steve Davies

LW's:
Lallana, Sinclair

AM's:
Ramirez, Benat

FW's
Lambert, J-Rod, Mayuka, Sharp/Austin/Rhodes, Lopez, Jake Sinclair?

I think this would leave us a class squad, I've put question marks next to the youngsters as I'm not sure if they're ready to the step up, I'd love to sign Biglia and Lopez as I've seen vids of them and they both look class especially Lopez, however a CB is definetly the priority! But it all depends on Cortese staying!

COYR!!!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Can't see Sharp, Austin or Rhodes being part of our squad and got no idea about Nem or Rose. Could get Wanyama it seems too.

Agree0 Disagree0

Alderweireld/Kouyate, Rose, Firmino, Biglia, Sinclair and Benat I wouldn't mind at all. However with the exception of Alderweireld/Kouyate, Rose, Firmino and Biglia I would wonder whether or not we could get better for the same value.

Agree0 Disagree0

I hope everyone will show their support for Cortese and Pochittino on Sunay

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Too right. Fly the banner high, sing their names and support the Saints! COYR!

Agree0 Disagree0

There's one problem with that! Cortese and Pochittino don't have the money the trust do,

Agree0 Disagree0

We don't need money!

Why are people getting so caught up in the money?! We are turning up a profit. We're a VERY astutely run club under Cortese. A bit of capital would be useful to expand the stadium etc. But realistically we don't need a billionaire.

Cortese is the key. Cortese is a genius and with him we don't need millions.

And pochettino will continue to bring through the youth effectively, they are our greatest asset, beyond any Swiss fortune.

Agree0 Disagree0

I would rather have new owners and Cortese rather then no Cortese and same owners. We can talk all we want about our billionaire owners but if they aren't willing to invest, as Cortese wants them to, then they are about as much good as millionaires. Cortese is worth much more to this club.

Agree0 Disagree0

We don't need a billionaire, how long do you think we will last with out one, remember we have 30 million pound debt around our necks already would't surprise me if this has something to do with all these problems with Cortese

Agree0 Disagree0

Dont go please Liebherrs we need you!

Agree0 Disagree0

5th richest club in the country to oblivion.

Agree0 Disagree0

Very bitter jealous skate, wishful thinking

Agree0 Disagree0

Always said you lot were deluded, now you're blinkered as well, cortese will go, followed by MP, Shaw and JR

Agree0 Disagree0
