In all seriousness, I hope we get new owners. It is our only way out of this mess. Interim CEO can be Organ for all I care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazmonkey Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 The obvious choice would be someone who knows football and the dealings that go with it. We need a CEO who can basically negotiate well The likes of Hogan lansbury and a few others were nowhere near what they on now at their club. This is when wyness should have said no to these players. Hogan was probably on 10k at Brentford...wyness should have said Scott.. you can have 15k or go back to Brentford. Maybe if he did this to a few of the other players...the problem we have now wouldn't be as bad if we did this better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am absolutely certain the likes of Hourihane, Hogan and Lansbury would have agreed to come and play for a club like ours for a lot less than their purported salaries. If we are the biggest club Bruce has managed we are sure as hell the biggest club they will get to play at and should jump at the opportunity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He maybe on a provisional contract to take over once the Wyness matter is dealt with properly. He isn't here mate. Think Wyness reached out to him before being suspended but he was never working on our behalf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reivax_Villa Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Nicola Cortese joined Southampton in a much worse position than ourselves. It could work, as much as I would like him to join i cannot see this happening. Xia is a poor decision maker when it comes to football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd also like Cortese. However we are just throwing out thoughts and options here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukes Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 From what little I know Cortese seemed to have done a great job at Southampton. He left there in 2014 and hasn't been seen at a football club since.....with so many clubs in need of experience such as his how can that be ?

The only answer that makes sense to me is that Keith Wyness ate him. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted June 14, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted June 14, 2018 Just been looking for Cortese stories, there's some italian stuff linking him with Milan in 2014 and Inter in 2016, that obviously didn't happen. Apart from that there's a german blog post linking him to wolfsburg earlier this year. That's pretty much it though. If we could get someone of his calibre it would be massive. I'm not confident anyone at the club will be able to get him though, or spot someone else as talented for the role Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 To be fair, Southampton struck gold with a few of their youngsters too, selling Bale, Walcott etc for big money. It's probably the only feasible way we can get back to where we think we should be, maybe starting with Grealish as much as it pains me to say.

Jareth Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Could be wrong but wasn't Cortese more of a Steve Round figure than CEO? Could do with a serious miser as CEO, like Levy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 It'll end up being Steve Round doing both his job and this one just to save money, won't it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his remit will grow as will that of Luke Organ - I don't see another CEO coming in anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
