saintjay77 Posted 28 January, 2011 Share Posted 28 January, 2011 How do we know he personally went to the press in the first place...? Didnt the paper article say he phoned the ticket office and asked for 10 and was told they would phone him back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Tender Posted 28 January, 2011 Share Posted 28 January, 2011 I think he should have been allowed 10, given that St Mary's stadium probably wouldn't exist if it wasn't for his loyalty, there were 4,000 left going into today.I'm not going to denigrate the contribution that he made towards us surviving in the Premiership for so long and punching above our weight, but this takes it a little too far. For a start, you'll upset all those who believe that we wouldn't have been in St Mary's stadium if it hadn't been for Rupert Lowe. We might well not exist as a club at this level had not Markus Liebherr bought us out of administration and made us one of only a handful of clubs in English football with no financial worries. In the scheme of things, the history of the club owes much more to actions of the chairman and the board, good or bad, than it ever does to the actions of one player. The single biggest and most important change in the club's fortunes during its 125 year history was arguably the arrival of ML as owner. Let's have a bit of perspective over this matter of a former player allegedly being snubbed over a ticket allocation for him and his mates. Much as I laud MLT's contribution as a player, I can divorce any feelings about that when considering some of his actions and comments since he hung up his boots, some of which haven't covered him in glory.

trousers Posted 28 January, 2011 Share Posted 28 January, 2011 Didnt the paper article say he phoned the ticket office and asked for 10 and was told they would phone him back? Yes. That's what the *cough* Daily Star *cough* reported...hence my question...How do we know for sure Matt went to the press directly rather than, for example, a 'dark force'...?

Chez Posted 28 January, 2011 Share Posted 28 January, 2011 considering the damage it has done to MLTs reputation, it would actually have been a mighty fine stroke if PR if NC had leaked this story. Actually scrub that, they have both come out of it poorly - so whoever gave the story to the press was an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Shango Posted 28 January, 2011 Share Posted 28 January, 2011 MLT stated on Sky at the Man U preview that he would not be able to get to the game.He said he is working on Soccer Saterday and the ko is too early for him to get down to SMS. Says it all really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintjay77 Posted 28 January, 2011 Share Posted 28 January, 2011 Yes.

Didnt it have direct quotes from MLT though? If it was Paper trash MLT could always come out and say its got nothing to do with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
