gaz Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 I want free tickets. And I've bought Peugeots for a while so I want a free 207. And I've shopped at Tesco for years so I want free groceries. And lived in England all my life so I want free council tax. Cortese out.
hypochondriac Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 Where on earth did you get that from? Perhaps he is a proprietor of said establishment?
Born In The 80s Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 What like the extra cash many of us fork out for Sky that helps to fund Jeffs and Matts lifestlyes. Sorry I forgot they have to do a few hours work for it on a Saturday must be so hard. Errr, i think you (and an awful lot of fans on here) should get your facts right. Can't comment on McMenemy but i know that both Tiss and Frannie have NEVER asked for free tickets. All they've wanted to do was pay normally and go and watch but Cortese even had an issue with them being in the ground. That is childish and pathetic. Cortese does a LOT of good things, but he seriously needs to get over this little tiff he has with 2 of the clubs great guys of the last 20 years. This interview with the sun was a stupid thing to do. He should pick up the phone and attempt to sit down with all 3 of them and settle their differences. He won't though.

Is Nick Illingsworth still barred from buying a season ticket? Have the club ever explained why he isn't allowed one?

This interview with the sun was a stupid thing to do. He should pick up the phone and attempt to sit down with all 3 of them and settle their differences. He won't though. The freebies comment was in reference to Mcmenemy, not Le Tiss. Originally Cortese said he had 2 problems - le tiss getting involved with pinnacle and Mcmenemy wanting free tickets. The newest sun article, he has obviously been asked if he still has a problem with these two, or any club legends. To which he replies that he doesnt have a problem with legends but doesnt want people getting freebies - he does not name names in the freebies part, therefore is not slagging off Le Tiss like EVERYONE is saying he is.
Dazza82 Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 A Lowe Luvvie siding with Cortese. How very fitting. Cortese hater taking any chance to have a pop at him. How very fitting.
um pahars Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 I want free tickets. And I've bought Peugeots for a while so I want a free 207. And I've shopped at Tesco for years so I want free groceries. And lived in England all my life so I want free council tax. Cortese out. The minute people start using the analogy of shopping at a supermarket and compare it to a football club is ZZZZZZZzzzzzzz time. Football clubs are somewhat different to our shopping habits (can't imagine the Tesco forum is as lively).
S-Clarke Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 I honestly think some of our fans would be delighted to see Cortese walk, the Libeherrs to pull out, MLT/Wilde/Crouch to be on the board and Illingsworth back in the stand with his season ticket. That must be close to perfection. Alot off them don't seem to understand how a decent club is run, with all the **** we've had to endure over recent years.

Oh come on, some people on here dont want facts to get in the way of an all out assult on NC's character. If you are gonna be sensible and post factual content like that you have no place here sir :-)
dune Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 Cortese hater taking any chance to have a pop at him. How very fitting. I like most of the things he has done, I criticise things that I don't like.
beatlesaint Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 I like most of the things he has done, I criticise things that I don't like. Hang on, you told him to **** off in an earlier post. Make up your bloody mind. Thats not criticising thats telling him to, well, **** off !

So we should all side with Cortese and turn against Matt and LM because Nicola saved us?
Thedelldays Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 So we should all side with Cortese and turn against Matt and LM because Nicola saved us? Why side with anyone?
simonsays Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 Errr, i think you (and an awful lot of fans on here) should get your facts right.

What the hell has my comment got to do with asking for free tickets, may be you should read it again
CanadaSaint Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 I like most of the things he has done, I criticise things that I don't like. You've been sneeringly calling him "clotese" for months. Don't dislocate your ankles backpedalling on your own stupidity.
S-Clarke Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 So we should all side with Cortese and turn against Matt and LM because Nicola saved us? Really, is it that big a deal? Would you want him out and risk the progress of this club, just because of a petty squabble against two of our former players/manager? Everyone is bad in this, they've all made stupid comments. It's not fair to lay it all onto Cortese and blame him for the entire charade, because they've all played a part.
dune Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 Hang on, you told him to **** off in an earlier post. Make up your bloody mind. On this issue. And this issue is massive. MLT is a legend and unlike you I will not waiver from my support of him.
um pahars Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 I honestly think some of our fans would be delighted to see Cortese walk, the Libeherrs to pull out, MLT/Wilde/Crouch to be on the board and Illingsworth back in the stand with his season ticket. That must be close to perfection. Alot off them don't seem to understand how a decent club is run, with all the **** we've had to endure over recent years. Don't be so bloody stupid. As View From The Top posted somehwere on these threads, 99.9% of fans are supportive of Cortese and his attempts to take us forward, but that doesn't mean some aren't happy at the way he is continuing in his *****fest with MLT.
Legod Third Coming Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 I want free tickets. And I've bought Peugeots for a while so I want a free 207. And I've shopped at Tesco for years so I want free groceries. And lived in England all my life so I want free council tax. Cortese out. I travel with Eurostar regularly and so far they have sent me three bottles of Veuve Clicquot and a ticket for the weekend to Paris. So loyalty does exist...
CanadaSaint Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 Why side with anyone? Exactly. They all need to give their heads a shake - and so do people who think they know all the facts. I'm sure there's sh*tloads we don't know about.
dune Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 Really, is it that big a deal? Would you want him out and risk the progress of this club, just because of a petty squabble against two of our former players/manager? I'd prefer Nicola to apologise, but if it came to it i'd rather Cortese and the Lieberrs left than see MLT treated like this.
beatlesaint Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 On this issue. And this issue is massive. MLT is a legend and unlike you I will not waiver from my support of him. My support pal does not waiver from Southampton Football Club. The club is the issue, not former players, managers, chairman, anyone.
Dazza82 Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 On this issue. And this issue is massive. MLT is a legend and unlike you I will not waiver from my support of him. Oh right and also some mentioned you call him clotese! He should henceforth be called Nasty Nicky. unlike you I will not waiver from my support of Southampton football club
S-Clarke Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 Don't be so bloody stupid.

I'm just bugged by the ignorance to all parties in this. It's not just Cortese that has stirred this. I think it's all been totally blown out of promotion if I'm honest, I'm just happy to have a successful club and Cortese has played a huge part in that.
Dazza82 Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 I'd prefer Nicola to apologise, but if it came to it i'd rather Cortese and the Lieberrs left than see MLT treated like this. So if you think Cortese should apologise for what he has done so should Stellling and MLT what what they have said its all the same
saintrich Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 I'd prefer Nicola to apologise, but if it came to it i'd rather Cortese and the Lieberrs left than see MLT treated like this. TREATED LIKE WHAT? Do you have a selective reading problem at all? The Freebies part of the article mentions no names and is in reference to Mcmememy, who even said himself that he wanted free tickets...
hypochondriac Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 Oh right and also some mentioned you call him clotese! unlike you I will not waiver from my support of Southampton football club Cortese is not Southampton football club.
Gemmel Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 I adore MLT but let's not forget he used the saints team as a vehicle to win a spread betting His first thought on starting the game was to give the ball away in order to win cash Let's balance it out For me, I love that man and both should just shut up and get on with their lives What a first class **** - **** the **** up you ****
Born In The 80s Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 The freebies comment was in reference to Mcmenemy, not Le Tiss.

To which he replies that he doesnt have a problem with legends but doesnt want people getting freebies - he does not name names in the freebies part, therefore is not slagging off Le Tiss like EVERYONE is saying he is. He mentioned Tiss's name. That in itself was totally unnecessary and it shows that the issue between the pair of them is more than just about the involvment with Pinnacle. Slagging him off is one thing, but making it hard for Matt to go to games at all?? That is an embarrassing way to treat a man who has shown as much loyalty to this club as Matthew Le Tissier. You are a great chairman Mr Cortese, stick to that and get off your high horse with regards to a few of the greatest servents this club has ever seen.
Dazza82 Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 Cortese is not Southampton football club. I didn't say he was but as Chairman of the football club he is a very big part of it
Thedelldays Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 He mentioned Tiss's name. That in itself was totally unnecessary and it shows that the issue between the pair of them is more than just about the involvment with Pinnacle.

Thedelldays Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 What a first class **** - **** the **** up you **** all true though..he says so himself...I can live with that, it will never detract from the amazing player he was for us..but lets not pretend that we were also good for him..imagine trying something like that at Man U..?
lambertsrightleg Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 I wouldnt expect a former employer to automatically supply me with free lifetime access to their facilities. I do loads of work for the main concert venues around here, the Mayflower, Concorde, Guildhall, Nuffield, etc etc, I would not expect nor would I accept free tickets to their performances. Lawrie Mac did a good job for the club, but thats what it was; a paid job. so if lallana walks out in january to go to a club paying him more you won't feel aggrieved? He does a job, he's paid to do it so why should he show any loyalty? It's not just a ajob though is it, these people give their lives to something that we love. It's not just a paid job
dune Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 What a first class **** - **** the **** up you **** I didn't even bother replying. It's very very sad how any Saints fan can bring themselves to find angles to slag off Matt. I never thought i'd see the day.
beatlesaint Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 he said MLT has criticised him...that was about it Thats absolutely correct, he did not link Matts name with freebies.

You are a great chairman Mr Cortese, stick to that and get off your high horse with regards to a few of the greatest servents this club has ever seen. Hang on, but his original interview in the sun, maybe 18 -24 months ago (at a guess), he criticised Le Tissier (Pinnacle) and Mcmememy (Tickets) His next interview (Yesterday) they have obviously asked...Do you still have a problem with these two? To which he has answered... no, but I don't want people having freebies (in reference to the Mcmenemy part). Because they arent printing the whole question AND the answer, they have just dropped their names in.... he obviously didn't just randomly mention their names....
S-Clarke Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 Thats absolutely correct, he did not link Matts name with freebies. Don't let facts get in the way of agendas!
Saint in Paradise Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 The way I look at it is this, who can help Saints more in the future NC or MLT and LM??? Like him or not at this time NC is more important to Saints than MLT or LM is. I cannot fully express how much I love what MLT and LM did for Saints but that was in the past. You cannot live in the past - try living today on wages from 20 years ago. At the end of the day though I wish that they would get together and sort things out man to man but in private.
Thedelldays Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 I didn't even bother replying. It's very very sad how any Saints fan can bring themselves to find angles to slag off Matt. I never thought i'd see the day. how am I doing that. what i said is a hard fact. he even talks about it in his book.?why do people get so worked up when this FACT is brought up....
LGTL Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 I had a great weekend out on the lash followed by watching a football game. Some of you should try it some time and stop taking it all so seriously.
beatlesaint Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 I didn't even bother replying. It's very very sad how any Saints fan can bring themselves to find angles to slag off Matt. I never thought i'd see the day. Matt is not being slagged off, Some can see this issue from his point of view, some can see it from NC's. Most are tired of the whole bloody thing.
latter day saint Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 my god,its like being back in infant school all these threads, article's, rants & tweets over some grown men bashing ego's. pathetic really.
S-Clarke Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 Matt is not being slagged off, Some can see this issue from his point of view, some can see it from NC's. Most are tired of the whole bloody thing. I'm with the latter!!!
um pahars Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 So if you think Cortese should apologise for what he has done so should Stellling and MLT what what they have said its all the same I think everyone involved in this sorry affair needs to stand up, apologise and agree to try and work together for the greater good of the Club.
dune Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 My support pal does not waiver from Southampton Football Club. The club is the issue, not former players, managers, chairman, anyone. MLT is not just a former player, he is the greatest player we've ever had, he's a a decent man, and he was loyal to the core. It's a shame so called fans like you don't get it.
Dellman Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 I don't see you have to be for Matty and against NC or the other way round, easy to be for them both but one is the past and the other is the future, both great, aren't we lucky!
JustMike Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 Love MLT for what he did for us back in the day but that wont help us now. The now is NA and his team, backed by NC and the Liebherr trust. The new ways ****ed off many old school because their reputations were treated on a par with every other fan and i for one am glad.
Thedelldays Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 MLT is not just a former player, he is the greatest player we've ever had, he's a a decent man, and he was loyal to the core. It's a shame so called fans like you don't get it. I agree he is the greatest...other will not (not many, but they do)
dune Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 Let's just hope that Cortese will "clarify" things on the OS tomorrow. He really does need to diffuse the situation. Then we can focus on the important issues like supporting the team and criticising the ticket tax.
WinchesterSaint Posted 24 September, 2011 Posted 24 September, 2011 The issue with Matt and Cortese has nothing to do with being part of the Pinnacle bid, it's about Matt sticking up for his best mate Benali and his battle with Cortese about the mess Nicola made when renting his house.
