Jimothy Posted 15 January 2014 Posted 15 January 2014 Does anyone know why Cortese has left? Something to do with the owner, who I think is the daughter or widow of the previous owner who died, who has no interest in football and wants to sell up, she's more interested in pocketing the money. Cortese isn't happy with this, because he believes there's still someway to go on this project he feels he started down in league one. I think previously he's convinced he to hold off selling, but it's come to a point where she's insisting, so he done as threatened and stepped down. She's taken over as chairman.
StanSP Posted 15 January 2014 Posted 15 January 2014 Seems like this is the start of a downward spiral should that continue - someone who's not interested in football being the owner of a football club. Recipe for disaster...
21st Century Fox Posted 15 January 2014 Posted 15 January 2014 Southampton in crisis? Cortese leaves, with Liebherr's daughter (who has no interest in football) running the club. However, Pochettino said last year he would leave if Cortese did, and plenty of players have said how influential and ambitious Cortese was/is, could be real upheaval at St Marys. This has made a good day, great!!! May they tumble back to the oblivion from which they came.
Uncle Albert Posted 16 January 2014 Posted 16 January 2014 Chelsea re-signing a player they got rid of for free in a deal to bring David Luiz? Be even funnier if Man Utd re-sign Pogba as well for a silly amount of money.
Jimothy Posted 16 January 2014 Posted 16 January 2014 Nemanja Matic returns to Chelsea… for £21m once more - the same fee paid by Porto in 2011. http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/25743128 Thought Chelsea paid £21m for Luiz, and Matic was used as a makeweight for the deal. Anyway funniest part of the deal is they're funding it by selling Kevin De Bruyne to Wolfsburg for £16m! £16m for De Bruyne!!!!!!

When fans protest he'll say he signed these two players for them, and they should stop being ungrateful.
Uncle Albert Posted 16 January 2014 Posted 16 January 2014 £14million for Jelavic and Long? Could only happen in January..
AyewJoking Posted 16 January 2014 Posted 16 January 2014 I doubt he has the attraction and authority Fergie had, but as a club Manchester United should be an attraction to most players. One of the biggest clubs in the World, massive ground, compete in Europe etc what, the europa league?
AKCJ Posted 16 January 2014 Posted 16 January 2014 £14million for Jelavic and Long? Could only happen in January.. You'd get the pair for 5m in the summer. Unbelievable spend.
AyewJoking Posted 16 January 2014 Posted 16 January 2014 You'd get the pair for 5m in the summer. Unbelievable spend. perhaps but if they help Hull retain their premiership status then its a good deal.
Fox92 Posted 16 January 2014 Posted 16 January 2014 Fvcking hell. Can these players not find better clubs than Hull? Hull are doing well this season, another two decent signings that they needed. May push them on. Top flight football and still in the FA Cup. Not to much of a bad move. I know Everton are a big club so Jelavic's move could be seen as a 'step down'. If those two score goals to keep them up, then the club make more money in the long run. what, the europa league? ... I think they'll be fine, personally. Won't win the League but will make the top 4. Nice to see a change for once in the PL though... Arsenal, Chelsea, City, Liverpool, Everton and United could all have a crack at the top 4.

Arsenal, Chelsea, City, Liverpool, Everton and United could all have a crack at the top 4. If they lose this weekend and the top 6 all win then I think they can rule out top 4 this year, after this weekend they still have to go to the Emirates, Goodison, St James's and then home games v Liverpool and Man City. Going to be tough for them to get maximum points in any of them games, maybe see them taking 3 points away from Newcastle as a guarantee but the others are no gimmes.
21st Century Fox Posted 16 January 2014 Posted 16 January 2014 Liverpool gobble up multi-million-pound Dunkin' Donuts deal "We're delighted to be joining forces with Dunkin' Brands, one of the world's most iconic names. Dunkin' Donuts will be our official coffee, tea and bakery provider and Baskin-Robbins will be our official ice cream provider, we welcome both to the LFC family," said Billy Hogan, Liverpool's chief commercial officer.
Nalis Posted 16 January 2014 Posted 16 January 2014 I may be biased but surely Shane Long is better than Hull?
Langston Posted 16 January 2014 Posted 16 January 2014 Tom Ince to Monaco is bizarre. *I realise it's not necessarily PL news but didn't think it warranted it's own thread.
