Not sure if fixtures, but BBC News is reporting that Cortese's future as Chairman of Southampton is in doubt beyond this season (on the rolling BBC News on the TV; I've not checked to see if there is a link). Is he just a CEO-equivalent Chairman, as the fellow at Cardiff is, or is he one of the money men? I thought that was just the Liebherr family.

The club is owned by the Liebherr family , they could currently make a very tidy profit in selling the club.

I don't think Nicola is suited to running a football club. Any criticism seems to be taken very personally.

If I were the Liebherr family, I would remove him and sell.

Didn't Pochettino say recently that if Cortese went, he'd go to. Can't be bothered to look for it now but am sure he said something like this

Literally everyone I know that has come into contact with him say he is a bellend of the highest order. Even his hairdresser says he is a complete ****. Gets dropped outside the salon, walks in, doesn't say anything, gets his haircut and leaves.

Was always the mouthpiece for the Leibherr family so maybe he wants to do something for himself.

Taking into account where they were before he took over what has been achieved by Saints since he arrived is pretty impressive. I doubt their fans care how likeable or sensitive he is.
