JRM Posted 5 August, 2011 Share Posted 5 August, 2011 You've got to admit it, it is f*cking hilarious. He's probably just showing off the new suit he has bought with all the parking charges. I'm going for dinner later at the venue you saw him in mate, I'll launch a bharji at his noggin if he comes through the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 5 August, 2011 Share Posted 5 August, 2011 He can have a massive ego, and toss himself off as much as he likes, as far as I'm concerned. As long as he delivers what he says he'll deliver. You know what ? With the way he's going about it, he's going to have to invent new tournaments for us to win to justify it. Long and short of it is that I'll keep going no matter what anyway, so I guess I'm as much of an enabler as you lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wild-saint Posted 5 August, 2011 Share Posted 5 August, 2011 Oh yeah, because it's perfectly reasonable for the owner of a club to put himself on the cover, as opposed to, you know, any of the players, especially the new signings. And it's not at ALL hypocritical to play this down when a certain previous Chairman got no end of stick just for having a training kit with his initials on it. This is seeing the line, knowing there's a line, and saying "you know what, f\/ck the line". At the point when we achieve something other than being in a League below the one I'm used to Saints being in, then, and ONLY then might someone be able to do this without getting a shedload of flak for it. Until then, it's just dickish self-promotion, self-congratulation, and all-round undeserved back-slapping. Yes, he saved the club. And now look what it's turning into. FV(K me you moan about everything. Do us all a favour and change your usename to THRUSH as it suits you to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the start of a new season after promotion and on the run in to last season he stayed out of the forefront and left that to the manager and the footballers, and of course even more so the great fans we have. He runs our club really well, so do not see a problem with this. Great Chairman!!

Saint_lambden Posted 5 August, 2011 Share Posted 5 August, 2011 Anyone actually wondered that he might be the featured interview inside, so, like every home programme, the feature is on the front? Someone coming on here without seeing the cover would think that he's holding up a burning Saints shirt and laughing judging by certain reactions. Some users on here are probably delighted at this, now they have a reason to criticise further. It'll be 'bring back Lowe' next. Jesus f*cking christ.

Golac's Iron Gonads Posted 5 August, 2011 Share Posted 5 August, 2011 I'm in the finding it amusing camp. That a squad member hasn't been singled out for the 1st cover might be a good thing, next issue stick the man of match against Leeds on the cover. No egos, only Cortese's.

COMEONYOUREDS Posted 5 August, 2011 Share Posted 5 August, 2011 **** me, does it really matter? Yes everyone, including me would've been up in arms if that was Lowe There is however one key difference between Cortese and Lowe, Rupes never found a multi-billionaire investor for us. On that basis, I'm happy for Cortese to do whatever he wants, within reason obviously. And yes that includes charging people £1 to park in the car park if they are stupid enough to not park on the road outside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectisSaint Posted 5 August, 2011 Share Posted 5 August, 2011 What a bunch of whingers. Would anyone have moaned if it had been Markus on the front cover? No, of course not, but because it is the bloke who actually had the idea to takeover the club rather than the very nice man with the money everyone goes bananas. Perhaps they were planning to put Jemal on the cover and had to pull it at the last minute because he hasn't signed so had to find an alternative quickly and couldn't get permission to put Lucy Pinder on there.

Saint_clark Posted 5 August, 2011 Share Posted 5 August, 2011 It's only considered "brilliant" and welcome when we are doing well, but becomes quite a stick to beat him with when they are not. I wonder what we would say if the match were at Elland Rd and the programme had a picture of Ken Bates on the front.Yes, NC has done,and is doing,a sound job but I'd rather he took a less prominent role at the moment, . Are you kidding? He's on the front cover of the program, not picking the team. I can't think of a way he could have had less of a prominent role since he's been in charge.

Pahars_Legend Posted 5 August, 2011 Share Posted 5 August, 2011 The person on the front cover represents the fact that there is an interview with him inside, I assume this is no different. New season and great expectations, I for one think it will be interesting to hear what he has to say. Pretty sure they have ran out of players to interview apart from a couple of the new ones anyway and people won't buy the programmes if they interview the same people as last year straight away.

I wonder how people go through life, obviously with jobs that involve little responsibility I imagine. Except for Hypo, you'll get those library books in alphabetical order if it kills you.

SFC1906 Posted 5 August, 2011 Share Posted 5 August, 2011 Hilarious!!! What's even more hilarious is the total over-reaction of some of the hysterical tarts on here!!! What's even, even, more hilarious is that one of the reasons Cortese probably did this was to invoke the 'rage' of some of you cyber warriors - and you're all biting!!! I bet he's absolutely wetting himself at home know thinking about how some of you no-marks are literally spitting feathers about this and are incandescent with anger because it's all soooo important in your sad little lives!!! hahahahahahaha - Cortese = LEGEND Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypochondriac Posted 5 August, 2011 Share Posted 5 August, 2011 The breathtaking hypocrisy from those having a go at those who think it's embarrassing is the funny thing, not the cover itself. I can just imagine the exact same people's reaction had it been Lowe who had done similar. It's extremely cringeworthy and suggests an enormous ego. Also tallies with the stories that he was desperate for everyone to give him the credit at certain times and not markus. Hilarious reaction from the same old faces.

Agreed.
