dickyhale Posted 20 February, 2011 Posted 20 February, 2011 hopefully, they would have feltt he strain by then and started to fall away....which I think will happen I think the top 2 is out of.. brighton (auto promotion is theirs to lose) Saints Peterbro huddersfield I think the same but you can add Charlton in to that as well (we still have to play them home and away two massive games) I do think Bournemouth will fall away.
Johnny Bognor Posted 20 February, 2011 Posted 20 February, 2011 Did anyone hear his phone call to Solent yestday.Think Rolly upset him when he text the radio saying that we were sat in the main stand and the only two fans that where happy to see that goal go in. All his s-it about finishing above us he has a jealouus attitude towards SFC. We text Solent again to say "make mind a double on March 12th and that he sounded loke a frightined chairman. As Keegan said "I would love it if we beat them" Yes, I caught that. Surprised it didn't get more of an airing on here. He was clearly rattled and displayed jealousy beyond belief. Eddie is a good example of how not to be a football chairman.

Eddie is a good example of how not to be a football chairman. but he speaks alot and is "fan friendly" just what the working class die hard saints fans, ITK wannabes want at saints
um pahars Posted 20 February, 2011 Posted 20 February, 2011 but he speaks alot and is "fan friendly" just what the working class die hard saints fans, ITK wannabes want at saints I've always looked out for your posts Delldays and appreciated your point of view (even if I disagreed with the odd one), but have to say you're not doing yourself any favours with these faux postings. You've polarised yourself in to being the exact opposite of the extreme posters you're berating. PS Not even going to bother about Mitchell and his attempts to talk up a small time club who many of us haven't got any issue with one way or the other (from someone who used to cheer Bournemouth's results at The Dell and would sometimes pop down to watch a game).
Gemmel Posted 20 February, 2011 Posted 20 February, 2011 but he speaks alot and is "fan friendly" just what the working class die hard saints fans, ITK wannabes want at saints What a load of ******* cr@p. It worries me greatly that you have any role, however trival on a nuclear submarine.
aintforever Posted 20 February, 2011 Posted 20 February, 2011 but he speaks alot and is "fan friendly" just what the working class die hard saints fans, ITK wannabes want at saints And gets a club with next to no resources into a promotion spot.
Thedelldays Posted 20 February, 2011 Posted 20 February, 2011 And gets a club with next to no resources into a promotion spot. what good is that now if they are not there in may......we shall see
Thedelldays Posted 20 February, 2011 Posted 20 February, 2011 What a load of ******* cr@p. It worries me greatly that you have any role, however trival on a nuclear submarine. really..what has my posts that I make got anything to do with real life...get over yourself
aintforever Posted 20 February, 2011 Posted 20 February, 2011 what good is that now if they are not there in may......we shall see A play-off spot is pretty good for a club with their resources. In fact staying up would be so you have to say Mitchell has done a wonderful job.

Smirking_Saint Posted 20 February, 2011 Posted 20 February, 2011 what good is that now if they are not there in may......we shall see Whatever your opinion on the guy (and he is a tw*t) you can't deny that Mitchell has built a siege mentality at the club, he knows that he has not got massive resources but i have to applaud his use of clubs legends to get the crowd and the players spirits up. IMO they are no where near the most gifted of squads but they are very close and each put in 200% for each other, this IMO is born from how Mitchell has talked them up and set them up. I have to applaud that, and as much as i said early on that they will fall away they havn't done so yet and will keep going unless injuries take their toll.
Thedelldays Posted 20 February, 2011 Posted 20 February, 2011 A play-off spot is pretty good for a club with their resources. In fact staying up would be so you have to say Mitchell has done a wonderful job. fair point.. serious question.. who would you rather have (given that he has achieved a miracle at the cherries) their chairman and all that he brings to the table.....or ours..?
aintforever Posted 20 February, 2011 Posted 20 February, 2011 fair point.. serious question.. who would you rather have (given that he has achieved a miracle at the cherries) their chairman and all that he brings to the table.....or ours..? Ours, because we have the Leibherrs' money behind us. Simple as that, money is all that matters in football nowadays. is Cortese better at running a football club? that remains to be seen, the proof is in the results on the pitch and at he moment we are behind Bournemouth despite all our resources.
um pahars Posted 20 February, 2011 Posted 20 February, 2011 their chairman and all that he brings to the table Didn't you say something like "success and what happens on the pitch" is all that matters??? Therefore, surely you shouldn't give a monkeys about how much of a complete tool this bloke is off the pitch and how he is quite often an embarrassment to their club and town?

I believe I was asking the question to others..... I would take cortese and the season has not stopped not..and does not stop at anytime we decide to take a snapshot and use it to measure success.. lowe achieved miracles on a budget too...I still hate the *****

jam Posted 20 February, 2011 Posted 20 February, 2011 But ultimately a chairman should be judged on the situation which they leave you in. Only if all factors are taken into account. People say that Lowe got us relegated (leave aside everything that happened post Wilde + co getting involved - because I don't think anyone wants to re-open that can of worms on this thread), some might argue that he did extremely well in putting off the inevitable for several years and putting a structure in place (the academy under Prost, Jennings and Elias), that might have put us in better stead for getting promoted again.
um pahars Posted 20 February, 2011 Posted 20 February, 2011 I believe I was asking the question to others.... Sorry, but if it's OK with you I thought I would contribute to a forum, where people often cross fertilise threads!!! My point was with regards the comment, "and all he brings to the table", as surely what he brings to the table (and how much of a tool he is) is totally irrelevant if success is the only thing that matters.

um pahars Posted 20 February, 2011 Posted 20 February, 2011 it is...I asked a question then you picked me up as if I had not made up my own mind...I had So why have you got a problem with Mitchell (i.e. what does he bring to the table)?? After all, if success is the only yardstick to be judged upon, then he is undoubtedly currently a success.
DrZuess1979 the 2nd Posted 20 February, 2011 Posted 20 February, 2011 A play-off spot is pretty good for a club with their resources. In fact staying up would be so you have to say Mitchell has done a wonderful job. I m sorry but their resources are a long way from the worst in the league. They train down at canford school which has fully drained pitches for all year round use and the facilities that are top notch. Their ground (all be it 3 sided) is not half bad. Since Mitchell`s be there he`s done nothing for the club financially,as he`s been to busy trying to buy the land around dean court,so he can put more of his "7" crap there.

You might argue that but you would be mental to do so given that the express reason for him ever coming to the club was to deliver us the infrastructure to allow us to compete at the highest level. We got relegated because of appaling managerial appointments and a failure to address a key weakness in the squad which was probably in part a result of such appointments and in part a result of an overly cautious approach to player recruitment.
VectisSaint Posted 20 February, 2011 Posted 20 February, 2011 But ultimately a chairman should be judged on the situation which they leave you in. But if you take this to its logical conclusion this means that you cannot judge a chairman until he is no longer the chairman. I think you can judge a chairman at interim periods as well, most companies would judge the chairman based on annual results (some short-sighted companies judge their chairman quarterly). There were clearly times under Lowe when we would have judged him in a positive way, indeed he really only became a bad chairman after the Cardiff jaunt, when he completely lost his marbles. Before that time there were many positives and perhaps not so many negatives.
Pat from Poole Posted 21 February, 2011 Posted 21 February, 2011 Did anyone hear his phone call to Solent yestday.Think Rolly upset him when he text the radio saying that we were sat in the main stand and the only two fans that where happy to see that goal go in.

As Keegan said "I would love it if we beat them" Just heard this call of Mitchell's on the Solent sports news at 7.15 this morning. Rise above it, people, he just loves the publicity. I will admit the guy has done a very good job, but it's an example of how a transfer embargo imposed on a club (allied to having an outstanding young manager) can actually help a club, with the team spirit which gets generated from a small squad which pretty much picks itself every week.

I think he's just creaming himself at the prospect of hearing a bunch of gnarly away fans singing his name in a few weeks time...even if it is derogatory. What do they say? Any publicity is good publicity...and f*ck does that goon love publicity.
Wes Tender Posted 21 February, 2011 Posted 21 February, 2011 is Cortese better at running a football club? that remains to be seen, the proof is in the results on the pitch and at he moment we are behind Bournemouth despite all our resources. So by your reckoning, the Skates' Storrie-teller was a good one, because the proof of his running the club better than most of their previous Chairmen was plainly there to see when they won the FA Cup and had half of the England squad in their team, finishing high up the Premiership. Right. But of course, their team was only successful on the pitch because they bankrupted themselves to achieve it.
scott_saints Posted 21 February, 2011 Posted 21 February, 2011 God, I get p1ssed off that people put too much emphasis on a manager's effect on a team's performance. And apparently now, the results are all due to the chairman....!
