benjii Posted 6 February, 2011 Share Posted 6 February, 2011 Eh? Short and to the point. I didn't have the space to type: THE DAILY MAIL HAVE AN ARTICLE IN THEIR SH1TTY RAG STATING THAT WE'RE (APPARENTLY) WORTH £50MILLION QUID WHICH - TO BE HONEST - IS A LOAD OF OLD POO, BUT AT LEAST SAID ARTICLE WILL WIND UP ALL THE SAD BASTIDS ON TSW WHO REFUSE TO EVER GO AND WATCH US AGAIN SHOULD WE BE SOLD TO A LOAD OF ARABS. It's not to the point at all. There is nothing in the article that suggests we are "for sale". It's a misleading and poor thread title. I'm sorry to have to say it but it's thread titles like these that lead to nervousness in defenders' minds and hence we drew yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 6 February, 2011 Share Posted 6 February, 2011 Could be a good thing. Seems to confirm there is some substance in the rumours that have been around since the summer. No doubt because it isn't what some want to hear it will be dismissed as b*llocks by most. Sorry, what? How does it confirm anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpine_saint Posted 6 February, 2011 Share Posted 6 February, 2011 I don't care what nationality our owners are, but at least with the Leibherrs in charge what happeed at Portsmouth will NEVER happen to us. Thisthisthisthisthis x 1000. I dont care where a new owner comes from, but if he changes the plan from what we are doing now, I am not interested. Since everyone wants an instant return on their investment, we know that wont be the case. The Liebherr's are a very rare type of owner. Your best post ever. When the people who own the likes of Chelsea and ManCity get bored and move on those clubs will DIE from the debt levels they will quickly incurr once the money stops and from the self-destruction of the fan base with impossible expectations to fulfill. I like the route NC and the Liebherrs have plotted for us and have continued since MLs sad departure. The thing I dont like is that the "plan" was deralied last season and risks being derailed this season by a couple of suspect inidividuals within the club giving intermittent contribution.

Gemmel Posted 6 February, 2011 Share Posted 6 February, 2011 The last line of the article reads "he died of a heart attack in August". How do the Daily Mail know this when the family haven't said how he died? The only statement I am aware from the family and the Mali web site is; "He died after a short illness" I would politley suggest that the heart attack cause is a load of bollcoks. Looking back at some of his pictures (No offence to be taken) he looked a little yellow, which would suggest Liver problems, but i am not aware of any cause ever being given.

Daren W Posted 6 February, 2011 Share Posted 6 February, 2011 So we know absolutely nothing about this or whether or not it's true but it must be Lawrie McMenemy so we can have an excuse to slag off a genuine Saints legend? It's funny how when people slag off Cortese, some posters get on their high horse and demand proof and yet when it comes to McMenemy they can believe the most tenuous of links (ie he'd been interviewed by the same reporter) and go off on a tangent slagging the man off to high heaven...

The hypocrisy was not lost on me that some of the most vociferous posters who were previously shouting "show me the proof", "until the facts come out I'm not prepared to accept that", have jumped in with their size 14's and lynched McMenemy because he gave his tri-annual FA Cup interview a couple of weeks prior.

What a load of bo££ocks. The plan was not derailed last season! The 'plan' was to get out of League 1 this season, if we had done it last season then that would have been a bonus and a tremendous effort was made to get so close given the -10 points we had. If we don't get promotion this season then the plan could be de-railed and only then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Munster Posted 6 February, 2011 Share Posted 6 February, 2011 IMO Cortese is enjoying the challenge and the Liebherr family are very discreetly backing him. Markus was a quiet but determined man, who did not court publicity. I believe the family are simply carrying on that tradition. We will get to the promised land, but it will be in a sensible and sustainable fashion. Long may our association with Liebherr and Cortese continue ! I can't argue with any of that. And no mention of Glenda. Keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
