We are now in a position to move forward with our ambitious plans for the club," he added.He was thought to be seeking guarantees over his future and clarification about the way the owners Liebherr Trust wanted to proceed.ey players had also hinted that their futures would be open to question were the 44-year-old Cortese to leave.The Italy-born Swiss bought the club in 2009 on behalf of Markus Liebherr, a wealthy Swiss investor, to lift the south-coast club out of administration.The last few days have shown me the unity that we now have across the club in the players, the first team manager, the staff and the chairmanship which normally takes years to achieve," said Cortese.When German-born Liebherr died suddenly in 2010, the club said "well-laid plans that Liebherr and Cortese mapped out over a year ago will continue to be implemented uninterrupted".I have always believed that to create this unity would make us a very strong club and it is a unity of which I am unashamedly proud. The agreement ends doubts over Cortese's future after a week in which manager Mauricio Pochettino said he would follow his chairman out of St Mary's were he to leave this summer.Cortese had been considering his position amid talks to resolve differences with the trust that owns the club.
