Joesaint Posted 8 May, 2010 Share Posted 8 May, 2010 From what I understand NC was not at the game today and the last place you would find him would be in the Dell Cafe Bar as stated in the OT, so sorry mate I think that is big toilet. I have a work colleague and his son in law is employed by SFC and the low down on NC is that he is not the most liked person he is rude and arrogant. Members of staff have be told do not speak to him unless he speaks to you first. To be fair, when I was in the army, one of my Captin's could be 'very rude and arrogant' but looking back they made the LAD work the hardest, and other that you were more comfortable under we would not. I have a great deal of confidence in NC and I do belive people in these positions should command respect in order to keep staff on there toes and demand high standerds in whatever they may do. The amount of hours it sounds like puts into the club make me think that he does not expect anything that he would not do himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get a lot of managing directors who are nice and friendly, but they always make sure they have utter cvnts working under them to get the job done. NC is just hands on IMO and bypasses the middle men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mafiboy27 Posted 8 May, 2010 Share Posted 8 May, 2010 MARK HUGHES was at the game today and rumour has it that he taking over from pardew, according to a well placed saints trust board member. i hope this is not true!!! +1 totally useless spending a fortune at City. Decent job at Blackburn but come on. Pardew is just as good if not better that Hughes. A big mistake as far as I'm concerned if this is going to happen.

Frankly,I would not want Hughes at Saints in any event.I recall he displayed an arrogant contempt for Saints whilst he played for us,and his part in splitting the dressing room spirit in the early part of the 'great escape' season. Hughes is a c^nt in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windmill Arm 2 Posted 9 May, 2010 Share Posted 9 May, 2010 If you sign a striker and expect him to score 20 goals, but he scores 2 - do you give him another season and hope he can score more? or do you sign a striker who scores 20 goals every season? Your opinion is not really required. You are a wum, and definately not a Saint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint_ben Posted 9 May, 2010 Share Posted 9 May, 2010 personally, i would love saints to bring in sparky! he was my idol in my younger days (i'm welsh) so when i signed for the academy under dave jones, i was lucky enough to meet hughes. defo not arrogant, but there always used to be a group of players that kept themselves together i.e le tiss, frannie, dodd hughesie wasnt one of them.

BARCELONASAINT Posted 9 May, 2010 Share Posted 9 May, 2010 I think this is all complete b*llocks. AP has done all that could have been expected of him this season and now is in a perfect position to hit next season running with a proper pre-season and no points deduction behind him. If we have just signed this Calderon chap from Brighton this is surely all the proof we need that the final tweaks to the team are being made already in preperation for next season and that AP has obviously asked NC to go out and sign the player! Does anyone seriously think we would do that and then within days sack the manager? Too many people on here that just want to stir things up and have grossly over active immaginations.

So Hughes did not feel he wanted to become part of the 'spirit of Southampton' but preferred his own elevated clique of Hirst and Carlton Palmer,all of whom thought they were above the club and their team mates. Hughes greatest impact on the club during his time here was his willingness to be on the payroll and accept his inflated wage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintRichmond Posted 9 May, 2010 Share Posted 9 May, 2010 what a kick on the ******** for Pards, totally and utterly unfair if it happens. Hughes is a good manager, I'm not doubting that - but if we go about replacing him in this way, when there is actually no need, then someone needs to have a word with themselves. Makes perfect sense Mark Hughes, after leaving Man City (very rich Prem Team), is gagging to take over a DIVISION ONE, ie THIRD LEVEL Team .......

bpsaint Posted 9 May, 2010 Share Posted 9 May, 2010 If Mark Hughes had been there today then he's far too high profile not to have been photographed. Has anyone seen one yet? No. If something was included in the matchday programme that was a bit dodgy then we'd have seen a scan of it by now. Has anyone? No. Was I happy we missed out on the playoff? No. Did it stop me going yesterday? No. FFS some people need to wake up and smell what they're shoveling. Think it's safe to say Markus was stranded due to the ash cloud over Switzerland,I really doubt he'd tear his nose off to spite his face by staying at home,what a load of crap! We saw how happy he was after we won the JPT just over a month ago,didn't look like he was that unhappy there did it. Stop listening to the local station that gets most of it's Sains gossip from here,and the local rag of a paper that's fit to wipe my arse with. Both of those media outlets should be encouraging and backing the Saints,not spreading rumours and lies about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really an accurate analogy is it. More like you wanted 20 and he scored 18 or 19! But he hit the post 4 times, crossbar twice and had 3 cleared off the line. Do you sack or encourage to go one better next season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
