pap Posted 1 September, 2012 Share Posted 1 September, 2012 Chaps, found these old PDFs kicking around my machine. Screen dumps of the Echo article just after the Liebherr takeover. Thought it might be a nice reminder of what was said at the time, and how far we've come in three years. Cortese interview Oldknow interview Enjoy.

Saintandy666 Posted 1 September, 2012 Share Posted 1 September, 2012 I'd say they have pretty much stayed true to the attitude that Cortese presented in that article. Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KelvinsRightGlove Posted 1 September, 2012 Share Posted 1 September, 2012 Thanks mate, really enjoyed that! Cannot believe how far we have come in just over three years, it's truly staggering! Cortese has his doubters, but I think it's impossible to question he is the real deal. It's still so exciting to be a Saints fan! Three years ago I never thought saints would be back in the Prem, let alone challenging for these sorts of players. I certainly never thought I'd see us part with £12m+ on a single player. It's just such a shame Markus isn't here to witness it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pap Posted 1 September, 2012 Author Share Posted 1 September, 2012 That takeover period was bloody mental. Goodness knows how many man hours I lost to it. I've always been an optimist, and historically, a deluded one. Hats off to Markus, Nicola and everyone involved in bringing reality a lot closer to my delusions. Best thing that ever happened to us.

positivepete Posted 1 September, 2012 Share Posted 1 September, 2012 The references to the style of business in the articles above echos some of the reported issues with Blackpool and Bologna. I know I would rather trust in the Swiss style than the other two parties! The football world better get used to Cortese, he is a serious player. Thanks for posting those pages.
