Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 9 August, 2009 Posted 9 August, 2009 Sod the -10 (well, -9), with Nicola and Markus at the helm, I can safely say I haven't been this excited about Saints' future since 02/03.
Colinjb Posted 9 August, 2009 Posted 9 August, 2009 An outstanding interview. The sentiment is there now lets see the actions follow the words.
harwellsaint Posted 9 August, 2009 Posted 9 August, 2009 after all the slime duck shooter put us through, looks like we can all raise a glass and a big big smile, not being arogant but all loyal saint fans kind of deserve this moment, bless the new regime, i adore the saints and am very very happy!
CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 9 August, 2009 Posted 9 August, 2009 I like that , good interview and how refreshing it is to hear a club official engage in unambiguous straight talk without resort to feuding with old enemies or telling us the clubs future rests on some Merchant Bankers say so . I judge people on what they do rather than on what they say but for now at least I see no good reason to doubt Nicola Cortese's word , for that matter I can't think of a single valid criticism of Mr Liebherr's new regime . Our old football club's in safe hands at last , long may it continue .

amsterdam Posted 9 August, 2009 Posted 9 August, 2009 How different does that sound to some of our past chairpersons (no names - all in the past)? Warm happy feelings for the first time in a long while...
S-Clarke Posted 9 August, 2009 Posted 9 August, 2009 Got a feeling that we're going to see a bit of cash splashed about in the next few weeks! The pace will start to pick up...
RonManager Posted 9 August, 2009 Posted 9 August, 2009 Got a feeling that we're going to see a bit of cash splashed about in the next few weeks! The pace will start to pick up... What? You mean a football club may buy some 'players' in order to 'strengthen' their team? I gotta feeling that your crazy 'out of the box' thinking might just have a 'shred of truth' in it - just maybe.

Glasgow_Saint Posted 9 August, 2009 Posted 9 August, 2009 back of the net!! "Money will be spent" "Nice suprises" How exciting - F5 next week OBS thinks

Yeah it is a kind of weird/strange position to be in after the last few seasons -almost as if we should feel a kind of guilty pleasure about spending money. 'When the going gets tough - the tough go shopping' :smt040
corsacar saint Posted 9 August, 2009 Posted 9 August, 2009 We have our club back, these guys will love this club too.
JustMike Posted 9 August, 2009 Posted 9 August, 2009 i love the bit about marcus falling asleep with a smile on his face after the ajax game. Top people :-)
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 9 August, 2009 Posted 9 August, 2009 He seems a really nice guy...good times ahead i feel,we just need to to be patient.
kpturner Posted 9 August, 2009 Posted 9 August, 2009 Probably a major pain in the bum, but can anyone summarise the highlights? I am in France on an iPhone and the player required doesn't seem to be available. I haven't scanned the entire thread yet to see if it has been done already. If it has then ignore me - I'll find it.

I am in France on an iPhone and the player required doesn't seem to be available. I haven't scanned the entire thread yet to see if it has been done already. If it has then ignore me - I'll find it. He's Feeling very excited about the future. He would have liked the season to start a few weeks later - we missed preparation time due to problems we all know about. We are working to add more people to the squad It's all about time - things will happen. Wife hasn't seen much of Nicola as he has been constantly at the club, said he hopes a few surprises will be announced shortly. They're attempting to bring the club back to life in a balanced/structured method. Feels fans response has been unbelievable, has been surprised - in a good way - by the take up in season ticket sales. Reporter - ''How is Markus feeling at the moment? Nicola then put across a quote from ML's wife - ‘’After Ajax match, he went back to Switzerland - got home v late. Sat down on his chair and fell asleep with a wide smile on his face.’’ And finally...the most ''solid'' yes we have had in years... ''Will there be money spent on players?'' ''Yes''
red&white56 Posted 9 August, 2009 Posted 9 August, 2009 Good to hear that he's excited and that they plan to bring in new players. The news to me was that both he and ML frequently consult their wives, we need to find out more about these two influential women !
Legod Third Coming Posted 9 August, 2009 Posted 9 August, 2009 Am I the only one who's disappointed that Nicola Cortese is not a Spanish lady who looks like Eva Mendez or a young Sofia Loren...
kpturner Posted 9 August, 2009 Posted 9 August, 2009 Am I the only one who's disappointed that Nicola Cortese is not a Spanish lady who looks like Eva Mendez or a young Sofia Loren... Ummm, highly likely :-)
Thedelldays Posted 9 August, 2009 Posted 9 August, 2009 loved it.. they did say that the passion of the fans was a factor in getting the club....and we have not let them down well done to all who goes..
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 9 August, 2009 Posted 9 August, 2009 As a cynic can I say that sounded very positive
NickG Posted 9 August, 2009 Posted 9 August, 2009 the countries top scorer last year would fit in with signing that would cost a fee and excite fans. We ain't going to be attracting top internationals but the top scorer at this level would be one Nicola could safely say would impress.
NickG Posted 10 August, 2009 Posted 10 August, 2009 good to see it makes the front page of BBC's national football news page
Teddy Nutkins Posted 10 August, 2009 Posted 10 August, 2009 As a cynic can I say that sounded very positive You have been a shop-steward for too long, mate. It is not wrong to sometimes believe what you are being told. See you tonight all being well.
Wes Tender Posted 10 August, 2009 Posted 10 August, 2009 What a refreshing change it is to have this sort of person in charge of running our club. Giant egos nowhere in sight, instead just modest, but very professional people with a vision, who just quietly go about achieving their ambitions, also having the decency along the way to quietly allay the doubts and fears of those who have become cynical over the past decade that this sort of thing could be happening to us. All of a sudden, the dark clouds have vanished and have been replaced with optimism for a bright future. Apart from a few fools who are unecessarily impatient that we haven't yet signed up Football's World stars, there is a unity amongst the fan base that hasn't existed to this extent for years and years.
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 10 August, 2009 Posted 10 August, 2009 You have been a shop-steward for too long, mate. It is not wrong to sometimes believe what you are being told. See you tonight all being well. About 6 I gather
Greedyfly Posted 10 August, 2009 Posted 10 August, 2009 Right. I can't for one second take this. Where's all the *****ing, where's all the synicism, the in-fighting? Do we not want someone out yet? Has no one a bad word to say? Is there not someone or something we should be getting behind FFS? Quite nice isn't it.

S-Clarke Posted 10 August, 2009 Posted 10 August, 2009 The most interesting thing is that Nicola said ''Surprises''' that indicates that Lambert is just the start.....IMO. Looking forward to the next few weeks.
